Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy

The decline of hormone levels in the body is a primary factor in the aging process. Hormones are the chemical messengers that control virtually every biological process in the body. When hormone levels decline, less information is transmitted, and the body functions less effectively.

Over time, some reduction in hormone levels is expected; however, the decrease in these levels directly impacts the body’s ability to defend itself against potential diseases, the effects of aging, and ultimately, death.

Natural Hormonal Replacement Therapy is a treatment that women entering the peri-menopausal, menopausal, or post-menopausal periods, would be wise to consider. In addition to relieving the symptoms associated with the various phases of menopause, Natural Hormonal Replacement Therapy is regarded most importantly, for its long term benefits, which include:

• Prevents osteoporosis
• Restores bone strength
• Improves muscle strength
• Improve cholesterol levels
• Decreases the risk of depression

Natural Hormonal Replacement Therapy also works to prevent side effects associated with menopause like:

• Hot flashes
• Night sweats
• Decreased sex drive
• Mood swings
• Insomnia
• Vaginal dryness
• Difficulty concentrating

Women with PMS were found to have a significant imbalance between the hormones that control ovulation, and this imbalance contributes to the persistent PMS symptoms that resurface monthly making menstruation a difficult and sometimes painful event. Bio-identical Progesterone Supplementation and correct hormone balance control are treatments known to erase the symptoms of PMS, including: migraine headaches, breast tenderness, craving for sweets, irritability, and anxiety.

Natural hormone replacement is not the same as taking prescription hormones that are commercially available. Natural hormones are bio-identical. Bio-identical hormones match your individual hormones exactly and their chemical structure is also identical to that of the hormones that your body produces. One advantage to Natural Hormonal Replacement Therapy is that is does not cause the side effects that are commonly experienced by women who undergo a synthetic hormone replacement procedure. Many products in health food stores are termed natural but not mean they are or work the same as natural, bio-identical hormones.

Many people prefer Bio-Identical Hormones because they are derived from plant source and are modified to exactly match human molecules of estrogen, estradiol, estriol, progesterone and testosterone. Estrogens that are derived from such plant sources, usually soy, are called phyto-estrogenes. Progesterone is a phytoestrogen derived from yams.

While Natural Hormonal Replacement Therapy is a treatment that we hope will increase your quality of life and assist you in age management, it is important to remember to achieve wellness and success in these areas it will require more than just hormone modulation. The right diet, supplements, exercise, stress reduction, and disease prevention are all critical components that will help you live a long and healthy life.

Human Growth Hormone

We’re getting old. Yes, it’s true. Whether you are 25 or 55, your body undergoes processes every day that contribute to the aging process. Today, however, advances in the battle against aging provide women with access to anti-aging treatments that can change the way they look at their bodies, their lives, and how they regard growing older. These opportunities allow women to take control of the aging process, something that most have never thought possible.

The symptoms that typically indicate “old age” are actually evidence of the hormone depletion that takes place in our body over the years. Just as we reach midlife, the hormonal shifts take place. This change causes the production of the Growth hormone, DHEA, and sex hormones to decline.

Compensating for the decline in hormone production is one of the most powerful things we can do to slow biological the aging process. When used in combination with a healthy lifestyle (this includes sufficient exercise and a balanced, calorie restricted diet) you will see that Natural Hormonal Replacement Therapy can be an effective solution to banish the aging blues. Meditation and religious activities will also help you maintain a good mental health status by relieving stress and providing a refuge of comfort and hope.

The Human Growth Hormone is one of many endocrine hormones, like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone that decline with age. While many of these hormones can be replaced to deter some of the effects of aging, HGH reaches far beyond the scope of any one of these hormones to not only prevent biological aging, but to significantly reverse a broad range of the signs and symptoms commonly associated with growing old. HGH effectively turns back the hands of your biological clock.

The decline of growth hormones is sometimes referred to as somatopause. Somatopause is directly linked to the symptoms of aging, including: wrinkles, gray hair, a decrease energy levels, cardiovascular disease, and osteoporosis. Clinical evidence demonstrates that by replacing growth hormones we can dramatically reverse these symptoms to restore hair color and growth, regain bone tissue, increase energy, significantly reduce body fat, and inhibit the process of growing old.

What Is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is based on the relationship between the spine and nervous system. When the bones in your spine are not moving properly, or are out of their proper position, irritation to the nerve of joint may occur. This can manifest in the form of numbness, tingling, pain or burning. Chiropractic care and the adjustment/manipulation of the spine restore the proper position and movement of the bones and joints within the spinal column and/or extremities.

Treatments are tailored for the specific needs of each patient. Some of the services we offer include Flexion-Distraction therapy (a gentle and effective form of spinal mobilization especially for bulging discs), Therapeutic Exercises and Physical Rehabilitation. Our practice specializes in treating a variety of conditions, from acute/chronic low back and neck pain, rotator cuff injury, plantar fasciitis, to rehabilitation following an accident or injury. We can also provide information about improving your diet, creating a healthier workplace, exercise prescription and increasing the overall quality of your health.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is thought to have originated in China 3,000 years ago.  It is a healing science that focuses on the concept of “Qi” (pronounced chee).  Acupuncture not only helps control symptoms, but works to restore the strength and resilience of the body.  Many contemporary studies have proven its effectiveness.  The World Health Organization and National Institutes of Health recognize that acupuncture may benefit a wide range of medical problems.

Treatment consists of hair-like disposable needles that are typically applied for 20 minutes along meridians. Insertion of needle is usually painless, and no discomfort should be experienced during treatment.  Even though it is possible to achieve success after the first visit, a program of 7-10 visits would have a better chance for success.  Cupping Therapy (small suction cups), may also be utilized.

Acupuncture may be used as an adjunct to other medical treatments in many disorders.  Some of the many conditions that may benefit include: Headaches, Neck and Low back pain, Frozen shoulder, TMJ, Fibromyalgia, Carpal tunnel syndrome, Sinusitis, Female infertility, Addiction, Nausea and vomiting related to chemotherapy.

Stress Reduction

When used properly, physical activity is an excellent way to reduce stress. People who exercise enjoy benefits on chemical, physical and psychological levels.

Exercising with others is a good way to avoid anxious, pressured thinking, while exercising alone allows time for reflection on the sources of stress in your life. Either way, while you focus on your chosen activity, your subconscious mind is left alone to find solutions to your problems. And after a workout you will be more relaxed and able to calmly address the stress you are experiencing.

Stress-induced tension decreases during exercise as you alternately tighten and relax stiff muscles. Plus, exercise improves your circulation and lowers the high blood pressure often associated with stress.

During intense exercise your brain produces neurotransmitters called endorphins, the body's natural source of relaxation and pain relief. Endorphins help you relax after a workout and offer other benefits such as improved sleep quality and reduced blood pressure.

Keep in mind that exercise should not be used to avoid confronting stress -- if it does, it is not being used much differently from other forms of avoidant behavior such as alcohol and drug abuse, bringing symptomatic relief while the cause of stress goes unaddressed.
