3 Reasons To See a Chiropractor for Thyroid Health

Over 20 million Americans are affected by thyroid disorders and many don’t realize it. The thyroid gland is responsible for regulating the body’s metabolism, and when it is not working properly, it can cause a host of problems. The most common symptoms of a thyroid disorder are fatigue, weight gain, depression, anxiety, hair loss, brain fog, and difficulty sleeping. However, these symptoms can vary whether you have too much or too little thyroid hormone.

Oftentimes, people turn to medication to try and treat their thyroid issues, but this usually does not get to the root of the problem. Thankfully, chiropractic care may be able to help. Here are three reasons why you should see a chiropractor for your thyroid health.

What is Gonstead Technique?
To understand how chiropractic care can help with thyroid disorders, it is first important to understand what is the Gonstead Technique. Gonstead Technique is a system of chiropractic analysis and adjustments that was developed by Dr. Clarence Gonstead. It is based on the premise that the nervous system controls all functions in the body, and when there is interference in the nervous system, it can lead to dysfunction and disease.

How Can Gonstead Chiropractors Treat the Root Cause?
Signs and symptoms of thyroid disorder can be debilitating and frustrating. And while medication can help to alleviate some of the symptoms, it does not always get to the root cause.

Gonstead chiropractors focus on finding and treating the root cause of your thyroid disorder by looking at the whole picture. This includes taking into account your medical history, lifestyle, diet, and stress levels. After which, trained Gonstead chiropractors will then use the necessary diagnostic tools and equipment to further pinpoint the root of your problems. By identifying and addressing the underlying causes of your thyroid disorder, Gonstead chiropractors can then craft a comprehensive and customized treatment plan to help you relieve, restore and heal.

How Can Gonstead Chiropractors Restore Nerve Communication?
Misalignment in the spine can not only lead to subluxations but can also cause nerve interference. When there is nerve interference, it can disrupt the signal that is sent from the brain to the thyroid gland. This can lead to disturbance in thyroid hormone production and an appearance of signs and symptoms.

Thankfully, chiropractic care can not only help to fix misalignments but also restore normal function to the nervous system and improve thyroid health. It is recognized that subluxations and misalignments in the C5-C7 vertebrae (vagus nerve) have been linked to thyroid disorders.

Gonstead chiropractors are specifically trained to locate and correct the root cause which can be subluxations in the spine. Once these subluxations are corrected, they can help to restore normal nerve communication and improve thyroid function.

How Can Gonstead Chiropractors Improve Whole-Body Health?
Overall, the goal of chiropractic care is to take a whole-body approach to patient care. This means that Gonstead chiropractors should not only focus on treating the symptoms but also address the underlying causes of the disease and help to prevent any re-emergence. By taking a whole-body approach, Gonstead chiropractors can help to improve your overall health and well-being.
