Menopause
Two major hormones associated directly with the female reproductive cycle are estrogen and progesterone. These two hormones are the ones that are drastically reduced during menopause. Estrogen and progesterone are stimulated by the anterior pituitary gland, which is controlled by the hypothalamus portion of your brain.
The hypothalamus is often referred to as the master control of your body, because it regulates and controls so many functions of the body. The hypothalamus receives its information from the internal organs & visual system through the nervous system that is housed within your spine. The hypothalamus, in addition to regulating ultimately estrogen and progesterone, also receives information from other sections of your brain as well, such as your thalamus and limbic system. All these systems control critical, delicate functions of your body such as emotions, sexual desire, thirst and hunger, body temperature, and regulate your diurnal rhythm or sleep patterns. This master control is very important and is directly linked to your nervous system. Our hypothalamus receives its information regarding how much, how little, and how often to regulate these hormones through the nervous system that is contained within your spinal column.
Chiropractic specifically deals with your nervous system and spine. The spine, when under stress, irritates and decreases the function of the nerves that send the signals to control the levels of estrogen and progesterone. Simple stresses such as sitting for long periods, preservatives in foods, or a stressful day at work, can easily and often cause the spine to misalign. We are all under many stresses with our hectic lifestyles; the thought of going through menopause alone is a stress on a woman. The fact that the nervous system controls all the functions of your body, it is imperative that you get your spine checked by a Chiropractor.
