How Chiropractic Care Can Support Your Fertility Journey
If you're trying to get pregnant, you may wonder how chiropractic can help. Isn't chiropractic just about "cracking bones"? How could it possibly boost your fertility?
Well... quite easily.
In addition to providing pain relief, chiropractic care helps optimize your nervous system, mobilizes your joints, and ensures cerebrospinal fluid flows effectively throughout your spine. It also improves breathing, circulation, and digestion.
All of which can have a significant impact on your fertility.
Chiropractic Soothes Your Nervous System So, what does your nervous system have to do with fertility? Quite a lot, actually.
Chiropractic care’s primary focus is to make sure your nervous system functions optimally. When your nervous system is balanced, the rest of your body can fall into alignment - no pun intended.
Your nervous system is responsible for regulating key processes, like hormone secretion, blood flow, and egg release. Chiropractic adjustments ensure your nerves, particularly those running through the spine, are functioning at their best to support your reproductive system.
An imbalance in your nervous system can disrupt the endocrine system, leading to hormonal imbalances that can affect fertility. Blocked or poorly functioning nerve flow can reduce blood flow, interfere with hormonal balance, and potentially contribute to infertility.
While nerve blockages can occur anywhere in the spine, they often manifest in your pelvis. This is where chiropractic adjustments can be particularly beneficial.
Chiropractic Care Aligns Your Low Back and Pelvis If your lower back and pelvis are misaligned and twisted, stress can be placed on your reproductive organs, which could affect your fertility. Chiropractic care works to correct misalignments, helping your body restore balance and better coordinate these vital systems.
When your spine is aligned and mobile, your cerebrospinal fluid flows freely, nourishing your brain, hypothalamus, and pituitary gland - three key components responsible for producing the hormones essential to fertility.
Chiropractic Care Reduces Stress Chiropractic care is also an effective way to reduce stress. Stress is a major disruptor of fertility, but chiropractic adjustments can help ease tension in your muscles and relax your nervous system.
In addition to lowering stress hormones, chiropractic adjustments help you achieve a deeper level of relaxation, both physically and emotionally. During the fertility journey, when stress and anxiety are common, chiropractic care can provide relief and a sense of calm.
The gentle touch of a chiropractor can be a soothing, healing experience, helping to balance the body and mind, and improving overall receptivity to implantation.
