A member asked:
Doc told me that my thyroid most likely became low do to my spine/lumbar injury. could this b true? if he aligns me correctly will it be normal again?

Not true: The thyroid is controlled by hormones from the pituitary, not from nerves from your spine. If your thyroid really is low, you need to take thyroid replacement, synthroid or levothyroxine.
