How Chiropractic In Leland NC Can Help With Infertility

It’s estimated that 7.4 million women, which is about 12% of women in the United States, have difficulty getting pregnant and staying pregnant. Traditional doctors will often suggest in vitro fertilization, surgery, or hormone therapy to attempt to improve the problem and bring about a viable and lasting pregnancy. Sometimes one of these methods is successful, but more often than not, they don’t work. Not to mention they are very expensive. A lengthy process of trying to get pregnant can wreak havoc on you physically, financially, and emotionally. When these methods are unsuccessful, you're left wondering why they didn’t work for you and you may start to lose hope. See how chiropractic care can help with infertility in Leland NC.

Why Do Couples Struggle with Infertility?

While infertility can be a combination of things in both partners, sometimes one has a health concern that causes the infertility. Men that are infertile may have a gonad disorder, sperm transplant disorder, or a hypothalamus or pituitary gland disorder. Women who are unable to conceive may have hormonal imbalances, ovulation issues, thyroid problems, uterine polyps, cysts, excess scar tissue, pelvic inflammatory disease, or other health issues such as excess weight.  Sometimes, doctors evaluate both the man and woman for any known conditions but still can’t determine a cause for the infertility. Every test that has been run may come back normal, but the couple is still unable to conceive or carry a baby to full term. There is so much grief and confusion experienced by couples when they're left disappointed, yet again. However, neurologically-based chiropractic care with Dr. Marcus Woodburn at Greatest Potential Chiropractic may be able to restore your hope.

The Link Between Chiropractic Care and Infertility

Chiropractic care has been linked to fertility in both males and females, and it makes a lot of sense when you consider the spine and nervous system. The nerves that run through the spine also extend to the reproductive system. Because of this, any spinal misalignment can lead to blocked or pinched nerves and can cause hormonal imbalances or other issues preventing conception or a full-term pregnancy. If anything restricts the cerebrospinal fluid in the spine from flowing properly, it can create problems with the hypothalamus or pituitary gland. Since these glands are responsible for hormone production, this explains the link between an aligned spine and good reproductive health. By correcting any alignment problems within the spine, bodily functions improve and your natural ability to heal is enhanced. Alignment of the pelvis can also help by reducing pressure which causes stress to the reproductive organs.
