Infertility and Chiropractic Care

Families struggling with infertility know a special kind of pain. It really isn't something that fertile couples can fully understand. Fortunately, there is mounting evidence that chiropractic care can improve a woman's chances of conceiving.

Kelly Burgess is a senior contributing writer for iParenting Media recently shared the following at Preconception.com ,

"Peristaltic motion is a term that describes muscular function controlled by our autonomous nervous system," he says. "If you look at where the uterus is, an egg has to go down a little tube and is propelled via peristaltic motion. If it happens to be fertilized but there is insufficient peristaltic motion, it cannot be delivered to the uterus."

Furthermore, Dr. Painter says, in theory, if this peristaltic motion is so disturbed that it backs up and delivers uterine tissue into the abdominal cavity or onto the ovaries, it can result in endometriosis. He knows of at least five studies where women who were close to being surgical candidates because of endometriosis ultimately found relief in chiropractic care.

Can Blood Pressure be Affected by Chiropractic Care?

Yes! Chiropractic care can improve your blood pressure. A 2007 study demonstrated that upper neck adjustments are just a effective at lowering blood pressure as two-drug combination therapy.

The researchers in the Department of Preventive Medicine at the Rush University Hypertension Center in Chicago, IL hypothesized that restricted movement in the upper cervical spine caused decreased blood flow to the brain stem. As a result, the body compensates by increasing the blood pressure to ensure the brain stem gets the needed blood. Chiropractic correction of the upper neck allows the blood pressure to return healthy levels.

The 2007 study followed 50 people with high blood pressure for 8 weeks. The top number (systolic blood pressure) dropped an average of 17 points and the bottom number (diastolic blood pressure) fell an average of 10 points. Those results are no better than you could expect had you taken a combination drug for the same 8 week period! And you did not have to add any chemicals to your body.
