Abstract:

The goal of my paper is to show the effect of osteopathic treatment on primary dysmenorrhoea. In the course of my dissertation women with primary dysmenorrhoea underwent osteopathic treatment and the effect of this on the progress of their illness respectively the side effects of this were evaluated. The paper comprises a medical description of primary dysmenorrhoea and anoverview of basic aspects of the anatomy and physiology of the female cycle. In addition the main examinations and treatments carried out are explained as well as the effects that these have on the progress of illness. The clear results of my study show that osteopathic treatment alleviates the pain of primary dysmenorrhoea and has a positive effect on the most common side effects associated with this.
