Chiropractic and Conception

1 in 4 couples struggle to get pregnant within their first year of trying. Symptoms of infertility for women include PCOS, absent or irregular menstruation, loss or thinning of the hair, excessive facial hair, or sudden changes in weight. Signs of infertility in men include lack of facial hair growth, change in sexual appetite, erectile disfunction (ED), or painful, small or firm testicles. If this describes you, then it is important to see a fertility specialist and identify why you or your partner are failing to conceive!

Many fertility treatments have side effects and can be costly. Once your doctor has identified the cause of infertility, it can be properly treated. For those who have no idea why they are not getting pregnant or can’t afford to see a specialist, we might be able to help!

Dr. Super takes a detailed history and exam which includes troubleshooting for fertility issues. For most patients, a sphenoid adjustment holds the key to allowing the body to properly synchronize and operate the release of hormones. For others, it involves decreasing pelvic torque and increasing blood flow and nerve function to the reproductive organs. Some couples are lucky and just need to drink more water and get adjusted to finally get and maintain a pregnancy.

For patients who have experienced miscarriages, we often discuss the implantation process of the placenta and work with the OB/GYN to balance progesterone and estradiol, while reducing cortisol levels in the body.
