The endocrine system plays a very important role in the body regarding the release and absorption of hormones. Almost all cell functions and organ behaviors are mediated by it through the balance of hormones. The endocrine system is controlled by the nervous system, like all other parts of the body. When you are experiencing a lot of mental, emotional, and/or physical stress your body reacts and changes the behavior/balance of the endocrine system. Chiropractic is amazing at reducing neurological stress, balancing the nervous system, and thereby influencing everything else.
