Do cramping, abdominal bloating, headaches, fatigue, mood swings, and back aches sound familiar to you? The symptoms of PMS can be both physical and emotional in nature, and if you are one of the millions of women who suffer from these symptoms, chiropractic care may be able to help.
Estimates suggest that up to 90% of women suffer from some form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) with 10 -20% experiencing severe or disabling symptoms. PMS symptoms can range from bloating to painful cramps to depression, and tend to get worse when women reach their mid-30s and 40s.
No woman likes dealing with the sometimes-debilitating symptoms of PMS. At Wills Chiropractic, our experienced chiropractors are trained to treat the root of the issue causing mild to severe PMS symptoms.
While most doctors are quick to prescribe medication for PMS symptoms, it’s not always necessary. Instead of masking the symptoms with medication, the goal of chiropractic care is to treat the root of the issue.
Your spine, especially your lower back, can impair nerves that direct and oversee hormonal and reproductive systems. If PMS pain is caused by a subluxation in your spine, chiropractic can help. Your spine communicates with all the nerves in your body, which then communicate to every other part of your body, including your reproductive organs. If there is a subluxation, or interference, in your spine, it could be disrupting communication between your nerves and your hormone levels, making PMS symptoms much worse than they should be. Your nervous system regulates and manages every cell, tissue, organ, and system in your body. When it is functioning optimally with the help of chiropractic care, your overall health and wellness will improve, along with PMS symptoms.
We typically see three types of PMS symptoms that may be caused by nervous system interference:
- Over activity – such as heavy bleeding or severe cramping.
- Under activity – including missed periods or infertility.
- Distorted activity – cells that normally line the uterus, implant elsewhere causing bleeding, pain and reduced fertility.
If you are suffering from PMS symptoms, no matter how mild or severe, schedule a consultation to see how we can help.

What Our Patients Say
What to Expect
Relief Chiropractic Care
When patients come to us in pain, our top priority is to help relieve that pain so they can find comfort and feel better. While some patients feel relief in as little as one visit, it can take 2-3 visits per week for 4-12 weeks to achieve lasting real pain relief.
Corrective/Restorative Chiropractic Care
Muscles and tissues heal more completely during the corrective care phase, which prevents and reduces the risk of further injury. This phase typically requires 4-8 visits per month for 6-24 months depending on the severity of the issue.
Wellness Chiropractic Care
Once your body has completely healed, periodic adjustments become an important part of your healthcare regimen to avoid problems in the future. Based on your lifestyle and goals, we hope to see you 1-4 times per month.
