Experience the Blessing Difference: Endocrinology Care
Our endocrine system regulates hormones that act as messengers from one area of the body to another. The system includes the pancreas, thyroid, parathyroid, pineal, hypothalamus, adrenal and pituitary glands, and the ovaries and testes.
Thyroid and Parathyroid Disorders
The thyroid gland is located in the lower front of the neck. It secretes thyroid hormone into the bloodstream that reaches every tissue in the body. The parathyroid glands are located on the backside of the thyroid.
- Thyroid hormone helps the body use energy, stay warm, keep vital organs working as they should. The parathyroid hormone helps regulate the body’s levels of calcium and phosphorus.
- Treatment and diagnosis of underactive and overactive thyroids and parathyroids, and growths and cancers have symptoms that manifest throughout your body.
