Managing PMS and Menopause Symptoms with Chiropractic Care
In recent years, growing numbers of women have embraced holistic methods to ease PMS and menopause symptoms—chiropractic care among them. While not all women experience premenstrual syndrome (PMS), every woman will eventually go through menopause.
​
Understanding PMS Symptoms
PMS can present with over 150 recognized symptoms. The most common include bloating, irritability, headaches, migraines, breast tenderness, fatigue, stress, cramping, back pain, nausea, and weight gain.
​
Several physiological factors can explain these symptoms:
-
Reduced Serotonin: Can cause mood swings, irritability, and depression.
-
High Estrogen Levels: May contribute to nervousness and irritability.
-
Hormonal Imbalances (Progesterone/Estrogen): Can lead to water retention and weight fluctuations.
-
Thyroid Dysfunction: May play a role in breast tenderness.
-
Blood Sugar Fluctuations: Often trigger cravings, headaches, and fatigue.
Chiropractic for PMS Relief
Chiropractic adjustments offer a safe, drug-free way to manage PMS symptoms. Chiropractors often focus on the lumbar spine and sacrum, particularly L2 and L3—vertebrae linked to sympathetic and parasympathetic systems that regulate hormones. Research shows that many women experience less bloating, fewer headaches, reduced cravings, and less cramping after undergoing chiropractic care.
Menopause and the Transition Phase
On average, women begin noticing menopausal symptoms around age 51. The phase leading up to menopause, called perimenopause, can start years before the final menstrual period. The most frequently reported symptoms are hot flashes, night sweats, and sleep disruptions, often linked to changes in estrogen and progesterone.
Considering Hormone Replacement Therapy
While hormone replacement therapy (HRT) was once routine, newer research highlights potential dangers, including a higher risk of breast cancer, heart disease, and stroke. It’s crucial to discuss any concerns with your healthcare professional before beginning HRT.
Treating Menopausal Symptoms with Chiropractic Care
Similar to PMS, menopause can also be managed naturally with chiropractic treatments. Studies indicate that more women are seeking alternative, drug-free therapies—like chiropractic—to address menopausal issues, and many report positive results.
