Until you become a parent, or begin thinking of starting a family, you don’t quite realize just how many women are struggling with infertility. Or at least that’s how it felt for me.

Once my husband and I decided it was time to start trying to have our first baby, it seemed we were inundated with facts and statistics of trying to conceive naturally, and just how difficult it may be. We were even told we had a very low chance of conceiving, which naturally, sent me into a desperate tailspin. 

I conceived naturally, within a few months, much to my surprise. This automatically made me feel lucky, and a little guilty, as so many friends and women in my circle were enduring the emotional roller coaster that is IVF. Hormone shots, frequent visits to busy specialists, and the level of stress that I watched my friends suffer through really hit home for me, as I supported them through these difficult times. 

For my own education, I began learning about different holistic methods to prepare one’s body for pregnancy. I was a little surprised when I came across an article from the American Pregnancy Association highlighting chiropractic care as a method to ensure proper body function while trying to conceive. Once I dove deeper into the article, however, it all made sense to me:

“Keeping the spine properly aligned, clearing the nervous system of excessive interference, and counseling patients in nutrition, fitness, and changes to lifestyle, make the chiropractor one of your best options to help your body function in harmony with the way it was designed.”

Without the help of a chiropractor, one just like Dr. Gena, who loves nothing more than the ability to help those on their path to wellness, it really is difficult to understand what kind of interferences your body is being challenged by. As our society is continually becoming more driven towards healthy living, the need for chiropractic care for women with fertility issues is on the rise. The ability to clear out those interferences to help give your nervous system room to breathe and a space to function optimally, can make all the difference on your path to conception.
