Thyroid Disease Care at Salerno Center for Complementary Medicine

How Thyroid Disease Care Works

Our thyroid disease care begins with an in-depth evaluation of thyroid function, including comprehensive blood tests, hormone assessments, and symptom analysis. We go beyond standard testing to assess T3, T4, TSH, Reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies, providing a complete picture of thyroid health.

Treatment plans are tailored to the specific type of thyroid disorder, whether hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, or Graves’ disease. Our integrative therapies include:

• Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) – Customized thyroid hormone supplementation for optimal balance.
• Nutritional Support – Dietary recommendations and supplements to support thyroid function.
• Lifestyle Modifications – Stress management techniques, detoxification, and sleep optimization.
• IV Therapy & Detoxification – Helping to remove toxins that may interfere with thyroid function.

Conditions We Treat

Our specialized thyroid disease care addresses a wide range of conditions, including:

• Hypothyroidism – Fatigue, weight gain, cold sensitivity, brain fog, and depression.
• Hyperthyroidism – Anxiety, rapid heartbeat, unintentional weight loss, and heat intolerance.
• Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis – An autoimmune condition causing chronic thyroid inflammation.
• Graves’ Disease – An overactive thyroid condition leading to eye issues, irritability, and rapid metabolism.
• Thyroid Nodules & Goiter – Enlarged thyroid or growths that may require monitoring and treatment.
