Infertility and Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care is health maintenance of the spinal column, discs, related nerves without drugs or surgery. It involves the art and science of adjusting misaligned joints of the body, especially of the spine, thus reducing spinal nerve stress and therefore promoting health.

Chiropractic care is a safe and natural approach to enhancing the body’s ability to function properly. This is accomplished by enhancing the function of the nervous system. There are no known contraindications to chiropractic care throughout pregnancy.  All chiropractors are licensed to work with women who are pregnant. Some chiropractors take a special interest in the prenatal and postpartum care and seek additional training in these areas.

Chiropractors with additional training have expanded their knowledge of fertility and maternity issues enabling them to make recommendations regarding the best possible natural approaches to help resolve infertility issues. Learn more about infertility and chiropractic care below.

In many cases, fertility issues may be associated with improper nervous system function, poor nutrition, high stress and poor lifestyle habits.  Chiropractors are nervous system specialists and reducing interference in the nervous system is their primary goal.

Chiropractic care is a cost-effective approach to improving health and well-being. With the cost of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) ranging from $10,000 to $20,000 per attempt, chiropractic care has the potential of saving patients a large amount of money by helping them avoid the need for IVF entirely, or by reducing the number of IVF attempts needed to achieve conception.

As more women desire the benefits of chiropractic care throughout pregnancy, increasing numbers of health care providers are seeking trained doctors of chiropractic in their communities to whom they can refer their pregnant patients. Those interested should discuss the option of chiropractic care with their healthcare provider.

Providers who are not yet familiar with chiropractic care during pregnancy should be encouraged to learn more about its many benefits. In any case, it is important to search out options that support your body’s natural abilities to function and to identify a team of providers who are respectful of your choices.  All three of our doctors have experience with pregnancy care and we offer acupuncture as well that can help with fertility issues.
