PMS

Symptoms to be aware of:

Due to the physiological makeup of a woman’s body, she has unique health concerns. Premenstrual syndrome and menopausal (and perimenopausal) hormonal changes which cause a constellation of symptoms, are often treated successfully by chiropractors.

Chiropractic, along with nutrition and fitness, has been shown to lessen the discomfort of the menstrual period and chronic pelvic pain. Now, chiropractic care is being used to help women who suffer from intense PMS discomfort.

A chiropractic examination and X-ray of a PMS-prone woman’s spine often shows structural problems involving the lumbar nerves supplying the ovaries and uterus.

Gentle chiropractic manipulation, especially just prior to the menstrual cycle, can help relieve the discomfort of the premenstrual tension syndrome. The chiropractic adjustment has been proven to change hormone levels quite rapidly, thereby relieving menstrual cramps, PMS, and menopausal symptoms.
