Every month, millions of women experience more than just cramps when their period comes. For some, the menstrual cycle brings fatigue, irritability, low back pain, and even digestive discomfort. But did you know your spine and pelvis may play a bigger role than you think?
At Simpsonville Chiropractic Solutions, we take a holistic approach to women’s health—one that considers not just hormones, but also alignment, nervous system function, and how your body moves throughout the cycle.
The Cycle-Alignment Connection
Your pelvis and spine are at the center of your body’s structural and neurological balance. When they’re misaligned—whether from poor posture, previous injuries, or day-to-day stress—it can cause:
- Increased uterine tension
- Irritation of nerves connected to reproductive organs
- Worsened cramping or lower back pain
- Disruption in hormonal regulation via the nervous system
- Reduced circulation, bloating, and inflammation
Common Menstrual Issues We Support:
- Lower back or pelvic pain during menstruation
- Irregular or painful cycles
- PMS-related fatigue and irritability
- Digestive discomfort around your period
- General cycle imbalance
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
1. Pelvic Alignment & Cramp Relief
Misalignment in the pelvis can put pressure on the reproductive organs, making cramps feel more intense. Gentle chiropractic adjustments help restore balance, reduce inflammation, and relieve pressure,especially in the sacral region.
2. Nervous System Regulation
Your spine houses the nervous system that controls everything, including the endocrine and reproductive systems. When the spine is in proper alignment, it improves communication between your brain and body, which can help stabilize hormones and manage stress.
3. Increased Circulation & Energy
Chiropractic adjustments can improve blood flow and oxygenation to the pelvic area, reduce bloating, and promote a natural energy boost by reducing system-wide tension.
4. Whole-Body Wellness Support
We offer more than just adjustments. Our wellness coaching, stretching advice, and movement education are tailored to support women through every phase of their cycle.

Women’s Health & Chiropractic FAQs
1. Can chiropractic care actually help with period cramps?
Yes. Misalignment in the pelvis and lower spine can worsen menstrual cramps. Chiropractic adjustments relieve pressure, reduce inflammation, and support nervous system balance.
2. How does chiropractic affect hormones?
Your nervous system controls your endocrine (hormonal) system. When spinal misalignments disrupt this communication, hormone balance may be affected. Chiropractic care helps restore that flow.
3. What’s a tilted pelvis, and why does it matter?
A tilted or misaligned pelvis can create uneven tension in the uterus, ligaments, and lower back—worsening cramps, bloating, or even causing low back pain outside your cycle.
4. Is it safe to get adjusted during your period?
Yes. Chiropractic care is completely safe during menstruation and often more effective since the body is naturally detoxing and shifting hormonally.
5. What if I have PCOS or endometriosis?
Chiropractic isn’t a cure for underlying medical conditions, but it can support overall body function, reduce pain, and complement medical care. We’ll work with your needs and goals.
