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.

Announcement
Hello everyone! Hopefully all of the May flowers will be worth all those April showers we got. A good way to help those garden achy backs is with a massage! Schedule your appointment with Laura today! She is here 4 days a week all summer! The condition of the month for May is Fibromyalgia. Do you know anyone that suffers from Fibromyalgia? Chiropractic care works on relieving pain and symptoms associated with fibromyalgia. As you know, we are always looking for ways to help you improve your overall health so we offer a "health benefit of the month" every time you come into our office. This month is the Sunflower Seed. Sunflower seeds can help prevent migraine headaches and reduce the severity of asthma. They are a good source of magnesium which helps to calm nerves, muscles, and blood vessels as well as an excellent source of the antioxidant Vitamin E. Sunflower seeds have the highest total phytosterol content. Phytosterols are believed to reduce blood levels of cholesterol, enhance the immune response and decrease risk of certain cancers. Don't forget to "friend" us on facebook.
