PMS

Several studies have shown that chiropractic care can help decrease many of the symptoms of PMS without the potential side effects of prescription drugs.

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is characterized by mood swings, swollen abdomen, headaches, back pain, food cravings, fatigue, irritability or depression in the days before a woman's monthly period. The severity of these symptoms can range from mild to incapacitating and may last from a couple of days to two weeks.

It has been estimated that three of every four menstruating women experience some form of premenstrual syndrome, and it is more likely to trouble women from their late 20s to early 40s. Between 10 to 20 percent of all women experience symptoms that are severe or even disabling.

PMS is thought to be a side effect of hormonal changes during the monthly menstrual cycle and can be made worse by stress, decreased serotonin levels in the brain and subluxations in the low back.

Although chiropractic care cannot fix the way your body responds to the hormonal changes that preceed menstruation, several studies have shown that it can help decrease many of the symptoms of PMS without the potential side effects of prescription drugs. Since the nerves that exit the low back are responsible for regulating all of the tissues in the lower abdomen, any pressure or irritation that can be alleviated through chiropractic care can be helpful.

Testimonial

Reviews By Our Satisfied Patients

  • "I would like to thank you for your help with my vertigo problem. After so many months and so many doctors, I was really ready to stop trying to find relief. My husband, Ed Johnson, has so much faith in your work, that he convinced me to see you.

    As you remember, I was reluctant to begin, and unsure of the scope and purpose of laser treatment. It did make sense to me that the problem could have been initiated in the back of my neck. The previous physical therapist seemed to be focusing there.
    After concluding treatment with you, I became aware of a decrease in the episodes of vertigo. In June, I experienced only four or five "bad days". It has now been three weeks since I have had any dizziness at all. It may be over!"
