Fluid Retention

Fluid retention can often be signs that the body is struggling to maintain proper fluid and electrolyte balance. While swelling may sometimes be related to medical conditions that should be evaluated by a physician, other underlying factors such as stress, adrenal function, hydration, and nutrition may also play a role.

The adrenal glands help regulate important hormones involved in maintaining sodium, hydration, and electrolyte balance within the body. During periods of chronic stress or adrenal fatigue, the body may struggle to properly regulate fluids, which can contribute to swelling, dehydration, fatigue, and imbalance.

Factors that may contribute to fluid retention and swelling can include:
• Chronic Stress
• Adrenal Imbalance
• Electrolyte Imbalance
• Poor Circulation
• Inflammation
• Nutritional Deficiencies
• Dehydration
• Lifestyle Factors

Rather than relying only on temporary symptom relief, Dr. Baker focuses on identifying possible underlying imbalances through chiropractic care, Applied Kinesiology, nutritional support, and functional wellness strategies designed to support overall body function naturally.
