The woman’s ability to conceive and grow life within them is truly miraculous, but it is not always as easy for one woman as it may be for another. In fact, according to the CDC, 1 in 5 heterosexual women in the U.S., aged 19 to 49 years with no prior births, are unable to get pregnant within one year of trying. Infertility isn’t just a women’s problem, however; men can contribute to infertility as well.  

The nervous system health and general well being of both mom AND dad is important when trying to bring a new life into this world. While mom may be the one providing the egg, dad’s sperm is equally as important. This is true not only during the time frame when the couple is trying to conceive (TTC), but also when it comes to carrying a healthy pregnancy to term, and experiencing a comfortable delivery, as well as creating the framework for a healthy child’s lifetime. 

Chiropractic care is a key component to all of this. Chiropractic care and adjustments affect the nervous system and the brain-body connection, which in turn affects the nerves ability to clearly transmit signals from the brain down to the parts of the body that are responsible for hormone regulation and reproduction, including the ovaries, uterus, testes, etc.

Chiropractic care is perfect for those with fertility issues who want a more natural approach to solving the problems and helping the nervous system function properly, which many times, improper nervous system functioning could be the cause for a man or woman’s fertility issues. It could also stem from external factors such as stress and anxiety, an unhealthy diet, or certain lifestyle habits.

Chiropractic care works best when combined with lifestyle changes such as reducing inflammation through certain foods, acupuncture and other holistic care, and increased rest to help bring your body into a more calm and peaceful state. All of these things can improve the outcome for couples who are TTC.
