Thyroid Awareness Month

Twenty-seven million Americans have some form of a thyroid issue. Low thyroid is one of the most common medical conditions to be diagnosed (often misdiagnosed).

Your thyroid creates thyroid hormones which regulate your metabolism and many other processes in the body. Without thyroid hormones, you cannot form RNA, which is needed for the transcription process necessary to produce proteins and enzymes. As a result, the body cannot produce proteins to repair damaged tissues, or enzymes, which catalyze almost all reactions in the human body. 

Needless to say, your thyroid, and its health, are vastly important. 

Chiropractic care can help those suffering from thyroid issues while protecting the overall health and well-being of the entire body’s functions. As Chiropractic’s purpose is to restore the nervous system pathways through physical adjustments to the spine. Removing nerve interference from the spinal column allows the body to maximize its inherent healing ability, including the thyroid. So while we don’t actively seek to heal thyroid ailments, chiropractic care can be an active part of your care plan.
