The relationship between pelvic alignment and dysmenorrhea
- 01Compared pelvic alignment in women with and without menstrual pain
- 02Used 4D imaging to measure spinal and pelvic posture
- 03Found greater pelvic torsion in the group with pain
- 04Suggests a link between pelvic alignment and menstrual pain
This study suggests a link between pelvic torsion, a type of spinal misalignment, and the experience of menstrual pain.
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between pelvic alignment and dysmenorrhea in general women. [Subjects and Methods] One hundred two females participated in this study. They were divided into a dysmenorrhea group and a normal group based on the results of a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) assessment of pain and the Menstrual Distress Questionnaire (MDQ). The survey data was collecting from 5th July to 20th September, 2014. Formetric 4D was used to measure the pelvic alignment, including the values of Trunk Imbalance, Pelvic Tilt, Surface Rotation, Lateral Deviation, Kyphosis Angle, Lordosis Angle. [Results] There was a difference in the spine alignments of each group. The value of pelvic torsion was 2.4 ± 1.8 degree in those with dysmenorrhea, while it was 1.7 ± 1.1 degree in those without. [Conclusion] In conclusion, the results suggest that there is a relationship between menstrual pain and pelvic torsion.
