Lumbosacral manipulation reduces dysmenorrheal symptoms!

Holtzman DA et al (2008) reported dysmenorrhea may be alleviated with treatment of motion segment restrictions of the lumbosacral spine with drop table technique (a specific chiropractic technique)
Their study spanned over a 4-week period. 16 females were screened for symptoms of primary dysmenorrhea and motion restrictions of the lumbosacral spine. Thirteen subjects were enrolled into the study. Bilateral and unilateral lumbosacral flexion and extension restrictions were treated using drop table manipulations 3 times during each of the 2 consecutive menstrual cycles.
