Although hypothyroidism\u00a0can have an origin other than what I am about to describe, falls play a huge role in this condition.<\/p>\n<p>When you have a fall on your rear end, physics come into play. \u00a0Force is introduced into the body and that force has to go somewhere. \u00a0The body has to follow the laws of physics. \u00a0The law of conservation of energy says that energy can be neither created nor destroyed, only transformed. \u00a0This means that your &#8220;fall&#8221; put energy into the body and that energy has to be transformed.\u00a0Those are the laws of physics. \u00a0If the force comes in very rapidly, then the body may not be able to handle the injury and a fracture my be the result. This is becasue the time of impact is very small and the body cannot adapt and change fast enough. \u00a0It does its best, but the energy of the fall results in a fracture. \u00a0This is the &#8220;transformation&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>If the SAME energy comes in just a tiny bit more slowly, then what? \u00a0There is not a fracture (what medically would be called a pathologic fracture &#8211; something that would show up on x-ray), but what can happen is a physiologic fracture (think of this as energy storage). \u00a0The tissue behaves as if it were fractured, but nothing shows up on x-ray. \u00a0This is where many people seek medical attention and nothing is &#8220;wrong&#8221;. \u00a0Nothing could be farther from the truth. \u00a0The energy of the fall has been effectively stored in the body. \u00a0The sacrum and coccyx may actually deform in response.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-700\" alt=\"raynauds-syndrome_med\" src=\"http:\/\/osteopathicvision.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/raynauds-syndrome_med.jpeg\" width=\"159\" height=\"240\" \/>From a Chinese medicine perspective, the two meridians that flow\u00a0down the center of the body (the\u00a0governor\u00a0and conception\u00a0vessels) do not flow freely. \u00a0This is what I believe\u00a0leads to the thyroid disturbance.<\/p>\n<p>Ligaments, when subject to impact, will constrict. \u00a0There are a pair of ligaments in women that connect the sacrum to the uterus (uterosacral ligaments). \u00a0If these ligaments tighten (secondary to a fall) then constipation, abnormal menstrual cycles (everything from amenorrhea &#8211; no periods, to menorrhagia &#8211; heavy flow) can be the result. \u00a0It can also make conceiving a problem, because the uterus does not move correctly.<\/p>\n<p>In men, the prostate can be effected.<\/p>\n<p>Sitting may be painful, you may not be able to sit still &#8211;\u00a0fidgeting\u00a0all of the time, you may lean when you sit, you may be agitated most of the time, if you are female you make have irregular or painful periods or difficulty conceiving, if you are male, you may have prostate issues\u2026and these are just some of the possible\u00a0symptoms\u00a0I have seen from falls. \u00a0The sacrum and the coccyx (tain bone) can be effected.<\/p>\n<p>Removing\u00a0the forces stored in the body and releasing the tissues can set all of these things back to normal and not only improve thyroid conditions without medication, but also improve &#8220;fertility&#8221; and\u00a0restore normal menstruation and relieve prostate issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you suffer from cold hands and feet? \u00a0It does not matter whether you are male or female, this is a significant issue. \u00a0Medically speaking, this usually points to a condition known as hypothroidism. \u00a0That means that your thyroid is not doing everything it needs to with efficiency.
