PMS Improved with Chiropractic
Dr. Scherer

A recent study was performed to determine the effectiveness of chiropractic for the treatment of reducing symptoms associated with Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS).

The subjects were given an initial medical screening by a qualified medical practitioner as well as a full physical chiropractic examination. Spinal dysfunction and subluxations were identified using
standard techniques.

All of the treatments were rendered by one of two experienced, qualified chiropractors, with each woman being treated by the same chiropractor throughout the study.

Treatment was given two or three times within the ten-day period prior to the commencement of each menses. This was continued for a minimum of three cycles, during which time the subjects recorded their symptoms daily.

At the end of the treatment program, all of the women had indicated that their PMS symptoms had improved overall while under chiropractic care and they considered chiropractic an appropriate method of treatment.

About Our Practice
In our practice, each patient is given the necessary time to be listened to so that the doctor fully understands the problem bringing them in. Appointments are scheduled one patient at a time in 10-15 minute increments. Treatments consist of muscle stretching, physiotherapy (ultrasound/muscle stim) if needed, deep tissue work on the specific muscle fibers involved, comfortable (but effective) adjustments to the spine (and/or extremities), and carefully planned home instructions and exercises.
