Women: The Foundation of a Healthy Family
Women: The Foundation of a Healthy Family
Women are the foundation of a healthy household as they commonly make decisions on behalf of the health of their family. However, because women are naturally nurturing individuals, it is common that the mother of the family will put the health needs of her husband and children in front of her own. To have a happy and healthy family, it is very important that women understand all of their health care options and do not neglect their own health care needs. Although today’s modern woman has become much more knowledgeable of health and wellness, one key component of health may be missing from your family, proper posture.
Postural hygiene programs are particularly well suited to the special needs of fitness gurus, pregnant women, new mothers, women who are overweight, women who have experienced stressful situations, women experiencing menopause, and others who desire to obtain overall health. Postural correction offers relief for many of the specific health challenges that affect women based on their female anatomy and the fact that the female body is designed to bear children. Pregnancy and the menstrual cycle are centrally important health matters for women. Being pregnant, preparing for pregnancy, and recovering from childbirth are just some of the uniquely female issues. Pain during the menstrual period, premenstrual syndrome, menopause, and chronic pelvic pain are among the distressing conditions that disrupt the otherwise healthy lives of many women.
The nerves of the lower back control the reproductive organs of the body. Therefore, any disruption in nerve communication to the organs and body tissues will result in abnormal function and chronic nerve stress. Nerve stress is caused by misalignments of the bones of the spinal column. Doctors of chiropractic delicately restore the proper alignment to the spinal column through manual chiropractic adjustments. Chiropractic adjustments are demonstrated to be safe and effective in restoring the proper curvature of the spine and the hips and restoring normal nerve function, thereby allowing the body to work correctly and naturally.
The structure of the spine and the position of the hips are critical components in ensuring a woman’s ability to bear children. A properly aligned pelvis is associated with increased fertility, less pain during pregnancy, and quicker labor times. For women who bear children, the hips and the lower back will go through many changes, many of which are painful if not properly managed. If the vertebrae of the lower back or the pelvis are misaligned, women may experience a series of symptoms, including: pelvic pain, back cramps, abnormal or painful periods, or infertility. Common daily activities can cause spinal misalignments, such as improper posture while carrying children, improper posture while nursing babies, carrying heavy purses over the same shoulder, or improper ergonomics at work.
Women are beautifully designed, from the graceful structure of their body to the elegance of their curves. To maintain this vibrancy throughout the course of their lives, it is important that women pay special attention to the unique health care needs of their bodies. Postural correction is the natural option to maintain the equilibrium of the body in an optimal state of health and vitality.
