Greenville SC Holistic Thyroid Clinic
Are you still suffering with thyroid symptoms even though you’re taking medication? Maybe you’ve been told that according to blood work, the medicine is ‘working.’ Yet despite being told your condition is being properly managed, you still feel lousy. Thyroid patients often wonder if something’s been missed, or if anything more can be done to help them feel better.
If you still don’t feel well, it’s likely something has been overlooked, or remains unaddressed, in relation to your health condition. Thyroid medication may have brought your TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) levels within a ‘normal’ range, but that’s not the same as addressing the problem that is causing your condition. There is much more to most thyroid conditions than abnormal TSH levels. An approach that looks at the body as a whole—a complete system—can often identify imbalances and dysfunctions that standard medicine does not investigate or address.
Through comprehensive, in-depth testing and a careful look at your entire health history, a practitioner who is trained in functional wellness looks at the whole picture. This includes examining how all of the body’s systems are functioning, not just one part of one system. Functional wellness care looks at how everything functions together as a whole.
Your ‘thyroid problem’ may involve a variety of other organs, glands and systems throughout your body. Hormone imbalance, gut problems, problems with the brain and nervous system, and even reproductive system issues like infertility may relate to thyroid disorders. The only way to know what is really going on and why you feel the way you do is for all of the pieces of the puzzle to be put together. Once the root cause of your condition is identified, it’s possible to correct imbalances or dysfunctions you may never have known existed. You can then benefit from customized therapeutic support that is safe, natural and effective
Functional wellness practitioners don’t focus on ‘fixing’ symptoms; the goal is recovery and healing. Proper support for thyroid disorders may involve making a variety of lifestyle changes that are necessary for optimal health. When you work with a functional wellness care provider, you’ll receive all of the information, support and tools you need to succeed with necessary changes. You’ll learn how to take charge of your own health and to manage it for a lifetime of wellness.
You may benefit from functional wellness care regardless of how long you’ve been taking medication or have been under the care of one or more health practitioners. It works wonderfully as complementary care for those suffering with unresolved thyroid symptoms. A comprehensive approach is often the key to successful care, because it goes beyond symptom management and addresses the reason those symptoms are occurring.
