Effect of spinal manipulation in primary dysmennorhoea

Dysmennorhoea is chronic, cyclic pelvic pain associated with menstruation. Typically it is cramping, lower abdominal pain occurring just before and during menstruation. As dysmennorhoea affects approximately 90% of mensturating women, this has the potential to create a significant health and socio-economic issue (Reddish, 2006). Many studies have been done on effect of exercise regimen and spinal manipulation alone on Dysmennorhoea but comparatively less number of studies have been done to find out the effect of exercise regimen and spinal manipulation together in Dysmennorhoea. In this study effect of exercise regimen and spinal manipulation was studied on 30 subjects which included females. The mean, standard deviation, t- value f-value and post hoc analysis for all the variables were calculated. It was concluded that spinal manipulation has a significant effect for the treatment of Primary Dysmennorhoea.
