Menstrual Health

What are common menstrual health issues?

The most common menstrual health issue is pre-menstrual syndrome. It is estimated that 3 of 4 women experience some degree of premenstrual syndrome. PMS can have a wide variety of symptoms including mood swings, tender breasts, food cravings, fatigue, irritability and depression.

Another menstrual health issue is amenorrhea, which is the absence of a menstrual cycle. This may be primary amenorrhea, meaning a menstrual cycle has never begun, or secondary amenorrhea, meaning a cycle is now lacking after previously being present.

How can chiropractic improve menstrual health?

Chiropractic adjustments can help relieve symptoms of PMS, as well as regulate the frequency of menstrual cycles. Nerve bundles that control your hormonal and reproductive systems are protected by the spine. Spinal misalignments can impact your system and contribute to menstrual health issues. Correcting these misalignments promotes overall health, allowing your system to relax and regulate itself. There have been many recorded cases of chiropractic adjustments relieving PMS symptoms, and helping resolve cases of amenorrhea.
