Non-Medical Approaches to Infertility

From the time you’re a little girl, you’ve dreamed of being a mommy. You’ve always loved the smell and feel of babies, and you’ve waited for the day that you could bring your own little bundle of joy home…but that day hasn’t yet arrived.

Infertility, the inability to conceive a child, often hits you right between the eyes after you’ve professed your readiness to become a mother and although you’ve tried, nothing has happened. You believe you’ve tried everything…but have you?

Many women who have been unable to get pregnant have turned to non-medical, alternative approaches to infertility, and often they meet with success.

For example, have you tried:

  • Dietary changes? Avoid heavy metals like lead, mercury and cadmium that can affect hormone and sperm production. A simple test can determine the heavy metal content in your body and simple dietary changes and/or supplements can free you from them. Excessive alcohol and caffeine also can reduce fertility in women.

  • Stress Reduction/Stress Relaxation Techniques? We live fast-paced lives. Some couples have found meditation, yoga and biofeedback to be helpful in eliminating stress that can prevent pregnancy.

  • Chiropractic? Several recent studies have pointed to a possible link between spinal adjustments and increased fertility in some women. Seems that spinal nerve interference, particularly in the lumbar spine, may affect a woman’s ability to conceive. Once the interference is removed, women may have an increased ability to conceive.

If you have issues with fertility, please feel free to mention it on your next visit.

Dr. Shakib Asks some important questions of interest to Irvine residents - Chiropractor Irvine Dr. Shakib Asks...

Where do most Irvine residents get their first vertebral subluxation complex?
Being born in a hospital is a common source of vertebral subluxation complex. Trauma from forceps delivery has been replaced with drugs, vacuum extraction, Cesarean section and births that are "scheduled" to fit the workweek routines of Ob-Gyns. That's why we recommend a chiropractic checkup for every Irvine newborn.
Are chiropractors just concerned with the spine?
Our interest in the spine is because it covers the major communications conduit between your brain and your body. As a Irvine chiropractor my job is to locate areas (usually along the spine) that interfere with proper nerve communications to and from your brain. Chiropractic adjustments help restore nervous system integrity. In this way, chiropractic care can affect the function of your entire body.
