Overview

Hypothyroidism is a common condition that is usually treated with synthetic thyroid hormone to relieve symptoms and restore normal hormone levels. While this treatment is generally effective, research suggests many patients may not be adequately managed. Even with medication, people with hypothyroidism often experience poor well-being, general symptoms, and mental health issues. This study highlights the need for a more holistic approach that considers the physical, psychological, and social aspects of the condition. The chiropractic profession is increasingly using a biopsychosocial approach called Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET) to address these complex needs.
