Frequently Asked Questions about Hormone Imbalance Treatment

Hormones are responsible for many functions in the body. Therefore, hormonal imbalance can cause many problems in your body.  We offer chiropractic care and other functional medicine services at Spine Pain Center. We serve Mount Pleasant, North Charleston, Summerville, Surfside Beach, Irmo, and North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

What Is a Hormonal Imbalance? 

Your body produces hormones, which are controlled by the endocrine system.  The endocrine system is responsible for many things in the body, including sexual function, metabolism, growth, and respiration. You have a hormonal imbalance when your system isn't producing the correct amounts.

What Are the Symptoms of a Hormonal Imbalance? 

Hormone imbalance can cause many symptoms, depending on which hormones are out of balance.

The physical symptoms of a hormone imbalance include fatigue, racing heartbeat, unexplained changes in weight, and high cholesterol levels. Emotional symptoms often have depression and anxiety. Gastrointestinal symptoms include diarrhea, constipation, and nausea.

How Can Our Chiropractor Help? 

Spinal adjustment can help correct hormonal imbalances. The body communicates by sending electrical impulses through the nervous system.

The spinal cord is the core of the nervous system. Signals are sent from other areas of the body to the spinal cord, which then sends the signs to the brain.

Misalignment can interfere with these signals, which can cause a wide range of issues, including hormonal imbalances.

Chiropractic adjustment realigns the spine through gentle spinal manipulation. This adjustment allows the body and brain to communicate effectively.

How Can Nutritional and Lifestyle Guidance Help?

A functional medicine chiropractor can also provide nutritional and lifestyle advice. In addition to spinal manipulation, stress reduction, exercise, and a healthy diet can help keep your hormones balanced. Our chiropractor may also recommend herbs or nutritional supplements as part of your treatment plan.
