Research being conducted by chiropractors into how spinal health influences fertility may give hope to couples who have been unable to have children, even after medical fertility treatment.
All of the women in these studies were found to have vertebral subluxations-abnormal movement or position of vertebra and/or related problems of the spine that interfere with how the nerves work. These problems in the spine can be corrected by chiropractors with painless adjustments to the affected area.
New articles published by The Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research (JVSR) will report on how physical, mental, chemical and emotional stress, can act, over time, as undetected insults to spinal health and contribute to vertebral subluxations. The stress histories of these woman included previous motor accidents, childhood falls, blocked fallopian tubes, scoliosis, and work stress that affected both mind and body. All of the woman became pregnant after their subluxtions were detected and corrected.
In explaining how chiropractic adjustments could affect fertility, Dr. Madeline Behrendt, Assoc. Editor of JVSR and lead researcher of this project noted, "Essential to all processes of life is the nervous system. It perceives the environment and coordinates the cellular community’s biological response to the negative 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." Infertility is commonly described as the failure to achieve conception by couples who have not used contraception for at least one year. Statistics from the Centers for Disease Control estimate, in the U.S., about six million women and their partners are affected.
