Poor spinal alignment can lead to many different health conditions. It can limit motion, cause pain, result in poor posture, and much more. For men, poor alignment can affect specific functions, including the reproductive system. Low testosterone is one of the most common male problems. By realigning the spine, some of the more common issues that males face can be improved, if not corrected altogether.
Poor Alignment Can Lead to Lower Testosterone in Men
Throughout studies with men who have gone through a spinal cord injury, there has been significant research showing that their serum testosterone levels are much lower than normal. The connection between spinal health and testosterone levels was clear. This makes for a natural correlation between posture and testosterone levels. In order to keep levels normal, we highly recommend that men keep their posture strong, allowing their spinal alignment to remain healthy.
Often, men do not realize that the issue they are dealing with is caused by how they are sitting. Many people assume that poor alignment is caused by accidents. However, there are some male problems that can arise from sitting, such as erectile dysfunction and other issues associated with low testosterone. While sitting up straight can help overcome this condition, chiropractic care is often necessary because the body has become used to sitting incorrectly.
Chiropractic Care, Low Testosterone, and the Nervous System
The Nervous System is your body’s master system. The brain and nerves control every single cell, tissue, and organ in the body...including the endocrine (hormone) system. If chronic stress is present in your nervous system, it can alter the function and balance of your hormones. Your spine is essentially the suit of armor that protects your nervous system, so to have a healthy functioning body and hormone levels, you need a healthy spine.
