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! Autumn is approaching quickly...are you all ready for the 2 to 3 weeks we get of nice weather???... 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. Our health benefit for September is the Apple. Is it true that an apple a day keeps the doctor away or this that just one of "GRANNY'S MYTHS??" It's true!!!! Besides being a great snack, the pectin found in apples helps lower cholesterol and maintains a healthy digestive tract. It also supplies galacturonic acid to the body which lowers the body's need for insulin. They help prevent cancers and strengthen bones. Apple juice on a daily basis can help with symptoms in children who suffer from asthma. Our "awareness condition" of the month for September is Sciatica. Sciatica is defined as pain that radiates from the lower back into the buttocks and down the back of one or both legs. This is caused by the sciatic nerves - the largest nerves in the body. Do you or someone you know suffer from Sciatica? Chiropractic care works on correcting the misaligned vertebrae and can remove the pressure placed on this nerve.
Happy Birthday this month to: Eric A., Hayden A., Max A., Greg B., Paula B., Laurie B., Beth C., Brent C., Ashleigh F., Rita G., Brooke H., Bill K., Dustin K., Ashley L., Bob L., Larry L., Monica L., Brian M., Theresa M., Tracy M., Cubie N., Stacie N., Greg S., Kristina S., Julie S., Kristy S., Scott S., Todd S., Debbie V., Robbie W.
Good Luck and Good Health, Dr. Colin Tkachuk D.C.
