Erectile Dysfunction: Common Causes and natural solutions – Dr. Jason Jones Elizabeth City NC, Chiropractor

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is one of the common health conditions recorded among men. In fact, According to the Urology Care Foundation, it is estimated that 30 million Americans experience ED. Many patients in our Chiropractic Office at Elizabeth City, NC have reported how erectile dysfunction has affected their sex drive, and how it resulted in depression and low self-esteem. So it is important that we discuss this problem, which is common in men. What is Erectile Dysfunction? Erectile dysfunction (ED) is simply the inability to get or maintain a firm enough erection to have sexual intercourse. This condition is sometimes referred to as “impotence.” Many men experience ED during times of stress, but when it becomes frequent, it is a clear sign of health problems that need medical attention. An erection is normally achieved when there is an increased blood flow into your penis. And this happens when a man is sexually excited. The muscles in your penis relax and blood flows into your penile arteries, resulting in the filling of two chambers inside the penis. This makes the penis grow hard.

Get Stronger – Loss of Strength With Age – Sarcopenia – Elizabeth City NC Chiropractor Dr. Jason B. Jones

Your muscles tend to grow larger and stronger from the baby stage to around the time you turn 30. But in your 30S, your muscles start to lose mass and function, and this condition is called sarcopenia with aging. You tend to lose more muscle mass and strength if you’re physically inactive. Research says you can lose as much as 3-5% of your muscle mass if you lead a sedentary life after age 30. However, even if you’re active, you’ll still lose some muscle mass, but a bit slower than when you’re inactive. There’s no specific level of muscle mass that you need to have to diagnose sarcopenia. You tend to have reduced strength and mobility, hence, any loss of muscle mass is significant. You tend to experience sarcopenia faster around age 75. However, the fast rate may start as late as age 80. Muscle loss is a factor in frailty and a high tendency of falls in older adults.

Low Testosterone: what it means for men’s health and how to naturally bring it up – Dr. Jason Jones Elizabeth City NC, Chiropractor Testosterone is the male sex hormone (though females have small amounts). This hormone is made in the testicles and is essential for normal male sexual developments. From the puberty stage, testosterone helps the boy child to develop features like facial and pubic hair, muscle strength, and a deeper voice. This hormone also helps in the production of sperm cells. However, some men suffer low testosterone levels and this is called Low Testosterone (Low-T) or Testosterone Deficiency Syndrome (TD). The American Urology Association (AUA) identifies Low Testosterone as less than 300 ng/dL. What are the causes of low testosterone?
