Resolution of Infertility Following Chiropractic Care: A Case Study & Review of the Literature

Did you see this research paper that was just released?  We’ve taken care of a lot of women who were at one point experiencing infertility.  Chiropractic adjustments don’t “treat infertility” in anyway, yet we instead adjust the spine, removing nerve interference and allowing the body to adapt and function better. As a result, often times women become pregnant when their body is working better. If nerve interference is affecting a woman’s ability to conceive, then chiropractic care may be able to help.

Here’s the abstract & click here to learn more (and yes, ask us as well if you have further questions):

Objective: To describe the resolution of infertility following chiropractic care in a female medically diagnosed as infertile.

Clinical Features: A 32-year-old female with a history of infertility presented for chiropractic care. The patient also suffered from abdominal, neck and head pain.

Interventions and Outcomes: The patient received spinal adjustments using a number of techniques that included Activator, Sacro-Occipital, ArthroStim and Vibracussor. The patient attended care twice over a six-week period after which she reported as being pregnant. Vertebral subluxations were found at C1-C2, C4-C5, T6, T12, L1-L5 and the sacroiliac joint.

Conclusion: Through the use of chiropractic adjustments to reduce the patient’s vertebral subluxations, the patient was able to conceive naturally. Chiropractic may be beneficial to those patients experiencing subfertility. We support further research in the care of similar patients.
