Thyroid & Endocrine Imbalances
When it comes to endocrine system imbalances, Western medicine has pharmaceuticals that will assist in the reduction of symptoms, but (particularly with the thyroid gland), you will probably be told you may need to take the medication for the rest of your life. This influx of foreign, synthetic hormones often initiates a cascade effect which disrupts the balance of the rest of the endocrine system.
Adrenal fatigue, thyroid imbalances, and female hormonal issues are some of the most commonly treated endocrine disorders in our clinic. Adrenal glands can become exhausted due to long term stress and lead to chronic fatigue, sleep issues, and a myriad of other symptoms. This is generally overlooked in Western medicine.
Female hormonal issues, such as peri-menopause, menopause, and pre-menstrual syndrome often have their roots in imbalances within the endocrine system. These, among other endocrine issues, can be evaluated and treated at Galen Wilson Acupuncture.
