Period cramps are pain in the lower belly or back before or during your period. Mild cramps are common. Strong cramps that stop your day are a sign.
At Inside Health Clinic in Oakville, we use the Deep Healing Method to find out why your periods hurt. We do not guess. We look for the root cause, so we can treat the real problem and not only the symptom.
The womb squeezes to shed its lining. Chemicals called prostaglandins drive this. When swelling is high, hormones are off, magnesium is low, or the liver and gut are slow to clear used hormones, cramps get stronger. Tight hips and a stiff low back can add to the pain. Conditions like endometriosis can also be behind severe pain.
The reason is different for each person. We test to find yours.
Our Deep Healing Method looks for the root cause, then fixes it in three steps.
First, we test and check. We do not guess.
We look at sex hormones, swelling, nutrients and your low back and hips.
Tests we may use: hormone testing and blood work.
Next, we take away what is in the way.
This may mean calming swelling, helping your body clear used hormones, and easing tight hips and back with chiropractic care.
Then we put back what is low, and we learn why it was low.
We replace what is low, such as magnesium, and check how long you need support.
For a limited time, you can start with our In-Clinic Deep Healing Assessment for $129.
