How Chiropractic Care Restores Hormonal Balance

Hormonal imbalances can affect men, women, and children. Imbalances come with frustrating symptoms and can be difficult to manage. Chiropractic care can support hormonal balance for men, women, and children by optimizing the function of the nervous system, which regulates hormones and other body functions. 

Chiropractic adjustments do not directly affect hormone levels, but they can positively affect the body’s overall functioning and create an environment where hormonal systems can perform better. 

Restore Chiropractic, a premier chiropractic provider in Maple Grove, Minnesota, provides whole-family chiropractic care and can address some symptoms of hormone imbalances. With our professional care, your family can feel better with non-invasive care. 

Let’s look at some benefits of chiropractic care to restore hormone balance. 

Support Nervous System Health

The nervous system is controlled by the brain and spinal cord. It regulates communication between the brain and the endocrine system, which produces hormones. Subluxations in the spine and neurological interference can interfere with this communication. 

Chiropractic adjustments can restore proper tone in the nervous system and reduce nerve interference, allowing the nervous system to function more efficiently and promote hormonal balance. 

Reduce Stress & Cortisol Levels

Chronic stress can lead to high cortisol levels, a hormone that, when elevated, can disrupt other hormonal systems like estrogen, testosterone, and thyroid hormones. 

Chiropractic care, in conjunction with complementary practices like massage or relaxation techniques, can reduce stress and tension in the body. This may help lower cortisol levels and support a healthier hormonal balance. 

Promote a Healthy HPA Axis

The Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal axis is a critical regulator of hormone production and stress response. Chiropractic adjustments may help improve communication along this axis by reducing nerve interference, ensuring the endocrine system (like the adrenal glands) can function properly. 

Improve Sleep Quality

Poor sleep can lead to hormonal imbalances, so good hormonal balances really rely on individuals getting proper rest. When you sleep, your body regulates hormones such as cortisol, estrogen and progesterone, leptin and ghrelin, growth hormones, and melatonin. Poor sleep can also lead to increased appetite during the following day, causing overeating. 

Chiropractic adjustments can alleviate discomfort in the spine and other areas of the body, which can help improve sleep patterns and support the natural cycles of hormone production. Without extra pain in your body, you can get better sleep. 

Boosting Immune System Function

Hormones and your immune system are closely connected. Chiropractic adjustments may help boost your immune system by reducing inflammation and stress, supporting nervous system

regulation, indirectly supporting hormonal health. 

Gender-Specific Hormonal Imbalances

Men and women have different levels of different hormones, which can lead to different problems. Regular chiropractic care can help your nervous system function better, which allows your hormones to regulate without nerve interference. 

For women, chiropractic care can alleviate symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances during menstruation, pregnancy, postpartum, or menopause. Shifting the tone of the

nervous system in the pelvis and lower back can improve blood flow to the reproductive organs and support hormonal health. 

For men, chiropractic care can enhance blood flow and nerve function in areas like the prostate and testes, potentially supporting testosterone production and overall hormonal balance. Low testosterone levels can manifest various symptoms, such as loss of muscle mass, increased body fat, reduced bone density, and decreased body hair. 

It can also cause fatigue, depression, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. With chiropractic care, men can find some relief from these symptoms as their nervous system can function properly. 

Children in Puberty

Chiropractic care can be safe and effective for children and teenagers, including those going through puberty. During puberty, hormones rage, the body grows rapidly, and cartilage hardens. 

Hormones during puberty are responsible for growth, sleep patterns, emotions, and depression. 

With chiropractic care, children can benefit from optimized nervous system function, which allows their nervous system to regulate hormones more effectively. While chiropractic care can’t completely help with puberty symptoms, as it is a natural part of life, it can be a beneficial wellness practice. 

Incorporate Chiropractic Care Into Your Wellness Plan

Chiropractic care is a great, non-invasive way to help your body stay in top shape. Combined with regular exercise, healthy eating, and good sleep, chiropractic care can help your hormones regulate better through improved nervous system function.
