Chiropractic and Acupuncture Treats Infertility
Good candidates for chiropractic and acupuncture care are people who have a functional, rather than structural (blocked fallopian tubes, severe endometriosis, etc.)reason for infertility.
Infertility due to hormonal problems, immune disorders, amenorrhoea, irregular menstruation, stress and age related factors all fall into the category of functional infertility.
Stress can dramatically decrease fertility in both men and women. Our treatment increases fertility by reducing stress.
Evidence that Acupuncture has been used to aid fertility was found in early medical literature dating back to 3AD. The condition was first recorded by Zhang Zhong-jing, a famous physician from the Han Dynasty, in his discussion of diseases in women in the Jin Gui Yao Lue (Essentials of the Golden Cabinet).
According to the principles of Oriental Medicine, a person’s health is determined by having a balanced flow of “Qi” the vital life energy circulating through the body.
Acupuncture and chiropractic are means of influencing this energy to induce a particular effect in the body. In more modern times, chiropractic and acupuncture have both been found to affect the nervous system and the vascular system.
Many modern researchers have confirmed their benefits in the following areas:
--Regulate menstrual cycle.
--Invigorate sperm. Enhance a man’s sperm count and motility.
--Enhance general health.
--Reduce stress, control anxiety, enhance sleep and increase energy level.
--Balance endocrine system.
--Improve blood flow in pelvic cavity. This action is critical in creating a great "nest" in the endometriom but also enhances the chances of a "good" birth.
