 Because we’re so sensitive to the unique health concerns that women face, we encourage you to share this exciting news with your friends, loved ones, and co-workers. 

Put an end to “monthly” pain!

Do you dread the irritability, headaches, backaches, muscle tension, or cramping right before your period?  NOW you can feel your best all month long!  Many women have reported improvement from PMS (pre-menstrual syndrome) with chiropractic care.  Painful periods, or primary dysmenorrhea, afflict over 50% of women.  If you have painful periods, here’s how chiropractic can help you!  The nerves that exit your spine are directly connected to your reproductive system.  If you have a subluxation (spinal misalignment) irritating those nerves, you could be suffering needlessly from muscle cramping, joint stiffness and other PMS symptoms.  Interrupted nerve flow can cause physical and emotional stress during your period- you already know how that takes a toll on every aspect of your life.  Chiropractic offers a natural approach to managing the menstrual periods, without the use of drugs that can cause harmful side effects.  A pilot study, published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, found significant improvement from menstrual pain and distress among women who received chiropractic care.  Chiropractic may put an end to your monthly pain-safely, effectively and naturally.  At last! Results you can count on when you need it most! 

Safe, gentle care for a healthy pregnancy

Pregnancy is a great time to seek chiropractic care. When you’re pregnant, your body undergoes dramatic structural and hormonal changes.  These changes can affect your spine, nerves, ligaments, connective tissues and ultimately your entire body.   Regular chiropractic care during your pregnancy can help you eliminate your aches and pains.  Let us help you keep your body in top shape.  One of the most common complaints among pregnant women is low back pain.  In fact, one study showed that 56% of pregnant women suffer from back pain, especially between the 5th and 7th months.  Pain-killers are not an option while you are pregnant because of their risk to your baby.  Simply stated, chiropractic is a safe, drugless approach to ease back pain during your pregnancy.  With gentle adjustments, chiropractic care can relieve your discomfort safely and effectively! And, regular chiropractic can even help back pain associated with delivery.  A 1991 study of back pain during pregnancy and labor found that those women who received chiropractic care during pregnancy experienced less back pain while they were in labor.   While chiropractic is not a substitute for regular visits to your OB/GYN, chiropractic should be a part of your overall health plan for a safe, comfortable pregnancy. 

Finally!  Freedom from stress & headaches

If you’re like most women today, you’re juggling family, work, and a busy social calendar.  Do you suffer from anxiety, dizziness, neck pain, headaches, or back pain?  Emotional and physical stress can lead to subluxation, or spinal misalignment.  No matter what the source, muscle tension can place considerable stress on your musculoskeletal system.  Chiropractic naturally soothes and releases tense muscles by keeping your nervous system free of interference.  Stress reduction, regular chiropractic adjustments, proper exercise and nutrition and a positive attitude can help keep “stress” from making your life a “mess”!  And when was the last time you woke up headache-free?  Maybe you’ve been told that your headaches are something you have to learn to live with.  With chiropractic, you don’t have to live with headaches.  It’s estimated that 90% of migraine sufferers can benefit from a program of chiropractic care… Yet, only one in five migraine sufferers seek treatment.  Chiropractic can remove the spinal stress that could be the cause of your headache pain-and help you feel better than ever!
