# Can spinal adjustments help premenstrual syndrome symptoms?

One woman's symptoms improved with spinal adjustments. More research is needed to know whether it truly works.

 Early or limited evidence

One woman treated with chiropractic care.

## What they did

The authors described one case of a woman treated with chiropractic spinal adjustments and proposed a method for studying this treatment in larger controlled research trials.

## What they found

One woman's PMS symptoms improved with spinal adjustment treatment. The authors presented this case as a template for how future research should be done.

## What it means for you

While this case suggests spinal adjustment might help, it has no control group or comparison. Much more research is needed to say whether spinal adjustment works for PMS.
