You've heard of PCOS — Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. But researchers are now reframing it as PMOS: Polycystic Metabolic and Ovarian Syndrome. And that shift in name tells you everything about what's actually going on.
PCOS isn't just an ovarian problem. It's a metabolic and nervous system problem.
At its core, PCOS involves:
→ Insulin resistance and blood sugar dysregulation
→ Chronic low-grade inflammation
→ HPA axis dysfunction (your stress response system)
→ Hormonal imbalance driven by nervous system dysregulation
Your hypothalamus and pituitary gland (which sit at the top of your hormonal cascade) are directly regulated by your nervous system. When your nervous system is stuck in chronic sympathetic activation, it disrupts the signals that regulate your menstrual cycle, ovulation, and hormone production.
Chiropractic care supports PCOS/PMOS by:
→ Reducing sympathetic nervous system dominance
→ Improving communication between the brain and reproductive organs via the lumbar and sacral nerve roots
→ Supporting HPA axis regulation
→ Reducing the inflammatory load on the body
This isn't a replacement for your medical care. It's a powerful addition to it.
If you're navigating PCOS, there's more support available than you may have been told.
