There have been a growing number of women with infertility who are getting help with Chiropractic wellness care.

There was a series of twelve research papers published in the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research. Those papers suggest that Chiropractic adjustments, performed to address nerve interference caused by spinal distortions, could offer hope to many women who suffer from infertility problems.

These studies found that Chiropractic had positive results regardless of the woman’s age, the number of year’s infertile, previous medical intervention or health history. Which included miscarriages, blocked fallopian tubes, amenorrhea, colitis, or trauma.

Subluxations Can Prevent Fertility

The first in the series was, “Insult, Interference, and Infertility: An Overview of Chiropractic Research.” It reviewed 14 retrospective articles on the possible effect of spinal problems on fertility. All of the women in these studies were found to have vertebral subluxations that were blocking off the nerve supply to the female reproductive system. The stress histories of the infertile women included; motor vehicle accidents, childhood falls, blocked fallopian tubes, scoliosis, and high work stress. All of the women became pregnant after their subluxations were identified and corrected.

Chiropractic Benefits Fertility

In explaining how Chiropractic adjustments could affect infertility, Dr. Madeline Behrendt noted, “Essential to all processes of life is the nervous system, which perceives the environment and coordinates the cellular community’s biological response to the impinging environmental stimuli. It is reasonable to consider that a system that is properly functioning to its potential may resist destructive forces more successfully and with less damage.”

The spinal column acts as a communication superhighway. More and more research is being done. Leading us to realize that the crucial messages sent by the nervous system are the most important avenue. It ensures a healthy and normal working body. Chiropractic should be a standard process in health care. Everyone should at least has a spinal and nervous system check-up. Because seeing a Chiropractor helps ensures better health for tomorrow.

Optimal Health = Optimum Function


For Chiropractors

Improvement in the body’s control system from chiropractic adjustments and how that affects a patient’s overall health. Including glandular functions may be the extra push which helps solve a fertility problem. To cover as many bases as possible diet is something which should also be considered. A fertility monitor for ovulation testing is going to be helpful.  An organic plant-based diet composed of mostly raw food and vegetable juicing is worth considering. With specific attention paid to foods which affect the bodies hormonal system. If you have a library available in your office for your patients, this is a good book to add to it.
