Don't Let PMS Get You Down
Saturday, June 6th, 2009At one time or another, Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) disturbs and estimated 90% of women and nearly 20% of those women afflicted experience severe to disabling symptoms. Suggesting to a woman that her PMS is “just in her head” can be not only just plain dangerous, it’s also just plain incorrect! There are physiological causes of PMS in the majority of cases, including one that you might find surprising — spinal misalignment. That’s right. Your back could actually be the “offender.” Spinal subluxations, expressly in the lower back, can frequently cause a diverse variety of female health issues in addition to Premenstrual Syndrome, such as pelvic pain, sexual dysfunction, incontinence, and even infertility.
Are you wondering how chiropractic can ease the symptoms of PMS? Chiropractic treatments get rid of nerve restriction in your body. Every cell, fiber, tissue, organ, and system in your body is governed and regulated by your nervous system. Your reproductive system is included in this master regulation. If your reproductive system isn’t performing correctly because of nerve impedance, it can cause a myriad of symptoms such as those analogous with PMS. You would most likely experience agitation, pain, heavy bleeding, or severe cramping if your reproductive system were overactive. Missed periods or infertility can be caused by an under-activity reproductive system. Fortunately, if nerve disturbance is creating your PMS symptoms, then chiropractic management can assist because spinal manipulations restore unimpeded activity to your nervous system and, therefore, help it to function more normally.
Many women experience an improvement in their reproductive health, in conjunction with improved general health, while under chiropractic care. So, if you’ve been thinking that your PMS is just in head, think again! And, make an appointment to see your chiropractor as soon as possible. Chiropractic management provides an all natural solution for PMS that could assist you in avoiding periodic misery, without medication, and keep you symptom-free and energetic all month long.
