Chiropractic and Fertility

The overall purpose of chiropractic care is to establish balance in the body's nervous system. The nervous system controls every organ, gland, muscle, and tissue in the body which includes the reproductive system. When there is a disruption in the nerve signal, dysfunction of these body systems can develop. With a pregnant patient, chiropractors look at the whole lifestyle of the patient including investigating the woman's nutrition, activities, stress level, family history, and of course at their spine and body. Chiropractors take specialized courses pertaining to the treatment of pregnant patients and are educated on how to help a woman conceive.  The doctor will pay particularly close attention to the lower spine such as the lumbar vertebra, the sacrum, and the ligaments and tendons that hold the reproductive organs in their proper positions. By removing physical barriers with specific chiropractic treatments as well as managing vitamins and minerals through diet, chiropractic has been an effective and safe alternative to increase a woman's fertility.
