How a Chiropractor Can Help With Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a sexual disorder that affects a man's ability to achieve or maintain an erection.

Physical or psychological problems can lead to this disorder.

Examples of physical causes include diabetes, heart disease, and nerve damage. Psychological causes include anxiety, depression, and stress. Other factors that can cause ED include medicine, injuries, or surgery.

Typical treatments for ED may include medicine, therapy, or surgery.

Causes of erectile dysfunction include:

Conventional treatments for erectile dysfunction include oral medications, such as sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), and vardenafil (Levitra).

These drugs work by inhibiting an enzyme called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5 ). PDE5 is found in the smooth muscle cells lining the blood vessels supplying the penis.

Inhibition of phosphodiesterase type 5 leads to increased levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)

This relaxes smooth muscle cells and increases blood flow to the corpus cavernosum.

Or there is testosterone replacement therapy.

Testosterone replacement therapy is used to help men with low testosterone levels. The testosterone production therapy involves taking testosterone supplements, which can help to increase a man's testosterone levels and improve his overall health.

When visiting a clinic, a chiropractor will use spinal adjustments to target the root cause of impotence. This treatment will relieve pressure on the nerves that travel to your genitals. And because of this, many will see minimized symptoms.

However, chiropractors in general can help with various conditions and symptoms like:

• Returns range of motion to your body
• Fix back pain
• Improve your posture
• Neck pain relief
• Headaches
