What is PMS?
Premenstrual syndrome or PMS is a group of symptoms that commonly occur a week or two before menstruation. The severity and intensity of PMS symptoms differ from one patient to the next, which is why a functional approach to treating PMS is preferred by patients looking to increase their overall wellness.

- headaches
- cramps
- increase in irritability and moodiness
- food cravings and changes to your appetite
- depression and increase in anxiety
- trouble focusing
Patients that are in their late 30s or 40s may experience worsening physical and emotional PMS symptoms as they get closer to menopause.
What Are the Benefits of Integrative PMS Treatments?
There are multiple benefits to using an integrative approach to PMS treatments. As previously mentioned, every patient experiences different symptoms of PMS at varying degrees of severity. An individualized approach based on your symptoms will help improve your overall quality of life. It can include the following methods of treatment:
- acupuncture
- yoga
- tai chi
- meditation
- naturopathy
- herbal supplements
- deep breathing
- changes to diet
- cognitive behavior therapy
What to Expect During a PMS Treatment Session
If you've never had a PMS treatment session before, you might be wondering what to expect during your appointment. A trained physician at reNu Medical & Injury Center will begin by asking you a series of comprehensive health questions to determine your current health status, as well as all the PMS symptoms you are experiencing. From there, you may be required to take lab tests to determine your hormone levels. Your physician will then prescribe a series of treatments, including acupuncture, yoga, meditation, or recommend that you see a naturopath or certified herbalist.
Effective PMS management requires an accurate evaluation and prompt care using safe, effective functional techniques.
