Stave Off Symptoms of PMS with Johnstone Chiropractic

PMS (premenstrual syndrome) can wreak havoc on a woman’s life for weeks at a time, monthly. Coupled with mood swings, bouts of depression, severe anxiety, and despair, PMS can cause severe bloat and water retention of up to 20 pounds, acne breakouts, migraines, and joint pains. While many people joke about premenstrual syndrome sometimes, it’s not a laughing matter for the women that go through it. However, there’s relief in chiropractic care and treatment for PMS from Johnstone Chiropractic near Sultan.

Chiropractic care is an all-natural, non-invasive approach to relieving pain and hormonal imbalances caused by PMS. Chiropractic adjustments focus on restoring balance and wellness in the nervous system. This means that routine adjustments could help premenstrual sufferers find long-term relief with a decrease or entire elimination of emotional, physical, and behavioral side effects associated with premenstrual syndrome.

Are Neck and Back Pain Common with PMS?

During the menstrual cycle, the body releases a combination of progesterone and estrogen that allows ligaments to become looser to prepare for uterine menstrual contractions. When uterine muscles continuously relax and constrict, it does the same to the muscles through the back and neck, resulting in varying pain levels.

In short, neck and back pain is common during PMS, and it can lead through a complete menstrual cycle and at least a week afterward. This means many women have no relief from the soreness that PMS can cause. For them, it’s not a once-a-month issue. It’s every month without much relief.
