As ladies, it is inevitable that at some point in our lives, we experience irregular periods and other body discomforts from periods such as headaches, lower back pain and the list goes on. Although irregular periods usually do not pose as a health risk in our lives, they do give us mini heart attacks and annoyance when they spoil our plans.

Here are some methods you can take to resolve your irregular periods (and other discomforts!) Scroll on to find out more!

#1 Exercise

Exercising can help to regulate hormonal imbalance, which is usually a major factor in causing period problems such as irregularity and cramps. Try exercising for at least 30 minutes, twice a week to strengthen your body while fixing irregular periods at the same time. However, one can easily lose motivation while exercising and more exercise will not help to fix problems for girls who have been exercising regularly already.

#2 Stress Management

Stress is usually a major influence on our hormonal activity and this may cause irregular periods, headaches and other discomforts. Manage your stress levels by doing something that helps you destress such as swimming, knitting and watching your favourite K-drama. You will find that as your stress levels decrease, your irregular periods and other problems start to resolve too. However, you will need to find time to do so on a regular basis and this may be difficult for busy ladies!

#3 Medication

There are many medicine out in the market that helps to treat irregular periods and other body discomforts. Although these medicine can have almost immediate relief for problems such as cramps or headaches arising from periods, it usually comes along with different side effects that may cause other problems for you.

#4 Chiropractic Treatments

Chiropractic treatment is gaining recognition for its effectiveness in treating irregular periods. Based on the concept that the spine is a vital part of the body that affects the health of a person, regular spinal examinations can give you insights to problems that you may have and can fix issues that have been bugging you for the longest time ever.

Macquarie Chiropractic is a leading chiropractic clinic in Singapore that you can visit for chiropractic treatments. The chiropractors at the clinic, Dr Seow and Dr Le, have many years of treatment experience under their belt and Dr Seow even chose to pursue chiropractic science after experiencing the benefits of chiropractic treatments himself.

When you first enter the clinic, you will be asked to fill up a form at the reception counter so that the doctors can better understand your medical history and problems that you may have.

The very friendly nurse will lead you to a private room where she will use a thermographic scanner to scan your entire spine from neck to the tailbone so as to identify the parts of the spine that requires treatment.

Following the scanning session, the doctor will then come in for a consultation session, using the thermographic scan to identify spinal misalignment and further understanding the problems with the patient's medical history. Seeing all the red flags on the thermographic software, all we can say is uh-oh.

But not to worry if there are problems with your spine! Following the consultation comes the highlight of the appointment - spinal adjustment. The doctor will feel for misalignments in your spine and recommend the adjustments needed. Before going into the adjustments proper, the doctor will use a Jeanie Rub Massager to loosen up tight muscles and joints.

The whole spinal adjustment experience was a little nerve-wrecking at first but surprisingly quite comfortable with minimal, if not no pain at all. There's this sense of excitement when you hear the spine crack into place and to sum the experience up in a single word - shiok. The doctor will also explain to you how the misalignments are causing you certain problems as well.

After the cracking, it is important to let your spine ease into the corrected position. The Leander Flexion Distraction Table is a gentle procedure that mimics spinal motion, resolving disc bulges and disc herniations and reduces the pressure placed on your spine.

The treatment will end off with the Hill Decompression Table, a state-of-the-art and high tech machine not found at other chiropractic clinics in Singapore. This machine employs sophisticated sensor technology that measures your resistance and employs the appropriate pressure to stretch out your neck. The entire process was very comfortable as the treatment is tailored to your own needs.

The entire treatment took less than 30 minutes, which is great if you want to squeeze in a quick treatment during your lunch break. Other than fixing irregular periods, chiropractic treatment will also aid with other problems such as migraines, back pain and old injuries. Talk about killing many birds with one stone.

For girls who suffer from period problems and other minor discomforts, why not give chiropractic treatment a try? If you have been suffering from other problems such as headache, migraines or backaches, this is a good time to fix your problems at one go. Do a proper spinal checkup with the chiropractors from Macquarie Chiropractic and resolve problems that you have been dealing with for the longest time ever.
