Painful Menses and PMS

Painful Menses and PMS Chiropractor Centerville, VA

Do monthly cramps, back pain, or mood swings disrupt your life? You’re not alone. Many women experience uncomfortable menstrual symptoms that can interfere with work, family, and personal well-being. 

At Turner Chiropractic Clinic, we’ve been providing natural, non-invasive care for painful menses and PMS since 1992, helping women find relief without relying solely on medication.

Why Chiropractic for Menstrual Health?

Your nervous system controls virtually every function in the body, including the reproductive system. 

When spinal misalignments (“subluxations”) occur, they can create tension in surrounding muscles or irritate the nerves that regulate hormonal balance, leading to exacerbated premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms and painful periods.

Common symptoms include:

• Abdominal or pelvic cramping
• Lower back pain
• Headaches and migraines
• Bloating and water retention
• Fatigue
• Mood changes and irritability
• Breast tenderness

By gently realigning the spine, chiropractic care can help reduce interference, allowing your body to function more efficiently during your monthly cycle.

Our Approach

1. Full Evaluation: We start with a full exam and medical history review. We want to know about your specific symptoms like cramping, bloating, headaches, lower back pain so we can tailor a plan just for you.
2. Targeted Adjustments: With specific, low-force adjustments our chiropractors address areas of misalignment that may be contributing to PMS symptoms. Getting your spine in alignment can help reduce muscle tension and regulate nerve communication.
3. Soft Tissue Therapies: Tight muscles in the lower back and pelvis can exacerbate menstrual pain. Depending on your needs we may use massage or myofascial release to reduce inflammation and increase circulation.
4. Lifestyle & Nutrition: We’ll discuss posture, daily habits and simple nutrition tips that can support hormone balance. For many women, small changes, such as drinking more water or adding gentle exercise, can make a big difference in managing menstrual pain.
   

What to Expect

While chiropractic isn’t a cure for every menstrual challenge, many patients report less cramping, reduced back pain, and improved overall well-being after regular treatments. Since every woman’s body is different, results can vary. 



However, our goal is to provide a natural option that works in tandem with your body’s innate healing processes often with fewer side effects than medication.
