PMS

There is a complex of nerves that exit your lumbar spine and sacrum referred to as the lumbosacral plexus. These nerves supply information from the brain and other areas of the body to the reproductive organs of both the male and female system. Irritation of these nerves can result in alteration in the function of these organs. Chiropractic and Acupuncture can help eliminate this irritation and restore normal nervous system function to these organs in many cases.

Chiropractic Can Help! The team at ASFCA are trained in many techniques for evaluating the function of the joints and nervous system in the lumbosacral area. We will perform a comprehensive examination to rule out any underlying pathology and determine what the best approach to treatment for you condition would be.
