Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)
Learn why Dr. Justin Hunter, your Woodridge Chiropractor, recommends nutrition and chiropractic for PMS.
Why Chiropractic?
It's not all in your head! If there's evidence of nerve compromise to your reproductive organs, chiropractic care could help. Estimates suggest that up to 90% of women suffer from some form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) with 10 -20% experiencing severe or disabling symptoms. If you're resolved not to give in to menstrual or premenstrual discomfort, and you want a natural solution that avoids drugs, many women turn to chiropractic.
Your nervous system controls and regulates every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. The spine, especially in the lower back, can impair nerves that direct and monitor the reproductive and hormonal systems. Women with undetected subluxations or restrictions can suffer from a wide variety of female health problems including pelvic pain, PMS, incontinence, sexual dysfunctions and even infertility.
While chiropractic care isn't a treatment for PMS, many women with spinal distortions often see an improvement in their reproductive health while under chiropractic care. Restoring a more normally functioning nervous system helps the body to work in an optimal fashion. If you, or someone you love, is out of commission every month, encourage her to come in for a thorough chiropractic examination. If there's nerve interference, there's a good chance we can help.
Nutrition and PMS
| Imbalances in hormones can be corrected naturally and we can make recommendations for these treatments based upon bloodwork and other diagnostic tests which give a clear picture as to the cause of your symptoms. |
It is important to assess thyroid and liver function, vitamin and mineral status, and your exercise program when correcting the underlying cause for the symptoms associated with Premenstrual Syndrome.
