It’s That Time of the Month…Again

Womens Health

You know what we mean, “that time,” the time right before you get your monthly period when you may feel crampy, achy, depressed and a whole lot of other things.

And, the real problem is – you have very little control over your moods or behavior – so loved ones, co-workers, and even people in the grocery store steer clear of you. You’re downright miserable and you don’t even want to be in your own body. What can you do?

Pre-menstrual syndrome, or PMS, affects 85% of women, especially between the peak childbearing years of 20 and 40, with symptoms that can range from very mild to severe.

Physical symptoms include headache, bloating, water weight gain, food cravings, cramps, tender breasts, acne and fatigue.

Emotional symptoms, which can be far more severe, include mood swings, anxiety, depression, crying spells, memory/focus problems, withdrawal from others and, in extreme PMS cases, panic attacks and suicidal thoughts that make it impossible to function normally. Wow – that’s pretty serious stuff.

Maybe you’ve tried a number of treatment solutions, including over-the-counter pain relievers and “special PMS formulas,” prescription medications (i.e., anti-depressants, mood stabilizers or birth control pills) or herbal remedies. Maybe they’ve helped to a certain degree or maybe not at all. Or, maybe reading the long list of side effects on any prescription medication leaves you feeling even more irritable and anxious!

Do you know that chiropractic care has shown some amazing results in helping to reduce or even eliminate the symptoms of PMS, without the potentially harmful side effects of over-the-counter and prescription medications? We’ve helped many women in our office with their PMS symptoms and we have their testimonials that show gratitude and admiration for an approach that finally worked for them.

Got PMS? Try chiropractic – you might just find yourself skating right past that time of the month in the future!

Dr. Ferguson Asks some important questions of interest to Canton residents - Chiropractor Canton Dr. Ferguson Asks...

Why are some people allergic to pollen and others aren't?
It's not the pollen. Chiropractors know that if it were, everyone would be allergic to pollen, nuts and pet dander. But that's not the case. It's the person, not the pollen! If you live in Canton and your stress levels are high, then each year the grass, the trees or the weeds put your nervous system over the top. Many report that chiropractic care helps reduce the frequency and severity of their allergic response.
Why are frequent visits advised when starting chiropractic care?
Consistent visits at the beginning of your chiropractic care help create the momentum necessary to correct and retrain unhealthy spinal patterns. Later, Canton patients find that continued care on a less frequent visit schedule can help preserve their progress and avoid a relapse.
