Hormones control your body by telling it what and when to do something. They regulate your processes by doing things like managing your metabolism, controlling your moods, setting sleeping schedules, signaling hunger.

A hormone imbalance occurs when one of your glands over-produces or under-produces certain hormones. It causes a significant change in your physical and psychological welfare. At Nichols Chiropractic in Manhattan, KS, we apply the latest chiropractic and therapy techniques for hormone treatment.

Discomforts Caused by Hormone Imbalance

People experience all kinds of problems when going through a hormone imbalance. The following are some of the common signs of hormonal imbalance:

Insomnia

During the menopause period, the body tends to produce less progesterone and estrogen, which encourages sleep. It may also cause you to sweat at night, disrupting your sleep and adding to your fatigue. The best approach for insomnia during the perimenopause and menopause period is to get a diagnosis from a licensed chiropractor.

Pain and Stiffness in the Joints

Estrogen is vital for protection against inflammation. When estrogen levels lessen, one is likely to experience muscle pain and joint inflammation. Young women undergoing premenstrual hormonal changes may also experience such pain. It can be relieved through functional medicine provided by a chiropractor.

Abnormal Weight Loss or Gain

An overworking or underworking thyroid produces too much or too few hormones to regulate metabolism. If you are experiencing sudden weight gain or loss without a change in diet or exercise, your thyroid gland may be off track. Chiropractic care helps such glands to get back to producing the required hormone levels.

Low Sex Drive

Sex drive for men depends on high testosterone levels. For women in perimenopause, a lower progesterone level causes a lack of desire and low estrogen levels during menopause leads to vaginal dryness. Low sex drive is commonly treated through functional medicine and therapy.

Other conditions caused by hormonal imbalance include:

• Hair loss
• Fluid Retention
• Headaches
• Memory loss
• Fatigue
