TREAT PMS WITH CHIROPRACTIC

Results of a study in the

 

25 subjects were diagnosed with PMS after completing a questionnaire and daily symptoms were assessed. 16 women received Chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue therapy, 2-3 times per week before menstruation, over three cycles. The remaining nine women were given a placebo treatment; a spring-loaded tool, which was wound down for minimal force. After one complete cycle passed, which no treatments were given, the groups switched treatment.

Symptom levels were measured daily and were evaluated by comparing the level of PMS symptoms to levels following the Chiropractic treatment and placebo treatment cycles.

According to the results following treatment, the score dropped from the average score of .05 to .00001; and when the treatment phase was compared to the placebo, the score dropped to .006.

Results showed that there was a significant improvement of symptoms following Chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue therapy; and it was also noted that, following this same treatment, the symptoms were improved more so than subjects who received the placebo treatment.

Researchers concluded that the results and symptoms associated with PMS can be reduced by Chiropractic treatment, consisting of adjustments and soft tissue therapy.
