Infertility and Chiropractic

There comes a time in the relationship of many couples where the talk of the future turns to the thought of having children. I can imagine nothing more daunting then carefully planning out the timing and expenses, only to realize that getting pregnant is no simple act. It is by no means uncommon, but it may in fact be treatable without ever taking a pill or suffering through a procedure.

I would like to share with you the following information about infertility:

“Evidence continues to mount that women experiencing fertility problems respond favorably to having subluxations corrected and proper function restored. The December 8, 2003 issue of the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research reports another case study of a patient with a history of infertility experiencing a successful pregnancy after beginning chiropractic care.

In the study, a 32 year-old female went to a chiropractor's office for care in November, 2001. She stated that she had been trying to get pregnant since August, 1999, with no success.

The patient had been undergoing traditional medical treatment for her infertility, including fertility testing, artificial insemination, and the fertility drug Clomid, all without success. After an unsuccessful in vitro fertilization attempt, she sought chiropractic care.

Along with her infertility, her health history revealed that she also suffered from endometriosis, low back pain and frequent headaches. She was put on a chiropractic corrective care program lasting approximately six weeks.

She was re-examined at the end of December, 2001 and showed a significant improvement not only in her symptomatic picture, but in her spinal musculature balance as well. A re-exam by her fertility specialists noted that her hormone levels, endometrial thickness (lining of the uterus) and cervical mucus levels were now at more normal levels.

A second in vitro procedure was performed in February 2002 and the patient tested positive for pregnancy in March, 2002.”

As the study stated, this type of evidence is continually mounting in regard to chiropractic care and infertility. What this study fails to mention is the simple fact that chiropractic works to resolve male infertility too!

A person becomes “infertile” after a year of attempting to get pregnant with no success. I’m here to tell you that chiropractic may in fact save you from ever being labeled infertile in the first place. So, before you pop a pill or go through an expensive medical procedure, why not try a natural, safe, gentle, and effective option?
