When your hormone levels fall, it causes many symptoms and issues. Drops in hormone levels usually start around the age of 30 for men and 40 for women. A hormone imbalance can have severe mental and physical effects.
In men, testosterone is produced by the testicles and is responsible for the proper development of male sexual characteristics. Testosterone is also crucial for maintaining muscle, bone growth, a sense of wellbeing, and sexual function.
For women, estrogen affects many body parts, including skin, bones, heart, brain, blood vessels, and uterus. Even the ovaries begin to produce less testosterone resulting in decreased sex drive when there is a hormone imbalance.
Both men and women run a higher risk of illnesses and diseases due to hormone imbalance. Common symptoms include:
Fatigue
Memory trouble
Weight gain mainly in the gut
Erectile dysfunction
Vaginal dryness
Vaginal bleeding
Low sex drive
Loss of muscle mass
Decrease in strength
Increased sleep
Lack of energy
Loss of drive and ambition
Decrease in strength
Sadness or irritability

Riverside Spine and Physical Medicine offer Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) which uses natural plant-based hormones identical to the hormones naturally found in the human body. These hormones help to balance out low levels that can lead to serious health complications.
Unlike synthetic hormones used for other hormone replacement therapies, our bioidentical hormones are natural and avoid artificial treatment side effects. BHRT safely replenishes your body’s natural hormone levels.
We offer hormone pellets as a convenient dosing solution. These pellets are compounded estradiol or testosterone that are about the size of a grain of rice.
During an in-office outpatient procedure, we insert pellets under the skin near the hip during a painless process. The pellets release small amounts of hormone directly into your bloodstream and last about six months.
Riverside Spine and Physical Medicine is your best choice for medical, chiropractic, weight loss, personal training, anti-aging treatments, orthotics, pregnancy, and other health needs. Our state-of-the-art clinic combines the latest in modern equipment and advanced treatments with a comforting and healing environment.
