Don't Let PMS Put You On the Bench
Saturday, June 6th, 2009At one time or another, Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) impacts and estimated 90% of women and nearly 20% of those women afflicted experience severe to debilitating symptoms. Telling a woman that her PMS is “just in her head” can be not only just plain hazardous, it’s also just plain non-factual! There are physiological causes of PMS in most cases, including one that you might find surprising — spinal misalignment. That’s right. Your back could actually be the culprit. Spinal misalignment, expressly in the lower back, can commonly generate a wide variety of female health conditions 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 disturbance in your body. Every cell, fiber, tissue, organ, and system in your body is instructed and regulated by your nervous system. This includes your reproductive system. If your reproductive system isn’t performing correctly due to nerve interference, it can cause a myriad of symptoms such as those connected 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. The good news is that if nerve impedance is causing your PMS symptoms, then chiropractic care can assist because adjustments restore unimpeded activity to your nervous system and, therefore, assisting it in functioning more normally.
In conjunction with improved general health, many women experience an improvement in their reproductive health, as well, 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 Santa Barbara Chiropractor as soon as possible. Chiropractic management offers an all natural answer for PMS that could assist you in avoiding periodic misery, without medication, and keep you symptom-free and energetic all month long.
