This podcast explores the relationship between spinal health, nervous system function, menstrual irregularity, dysmenorrhea, and low back pain through a newly published case study in Annals of Vertebral Subluxation Research. The discussion centers on a 28-year-old female student with chronic low back pain and severely delayed, painful menstrual cycles. Following subluxation-based chiropractic care using the Sherman Package Protocol, her low back disability improved and her menstrual cycles became regular and asymptomatic. The episode emphasizes the body’s interconnected physiology, the role of vertebral subluxation in nervous system interference, and the need for more chiropractic research in women’s health.
