I have written before about how regular chiropractic care can be beneficial for a variety of health problems, but one area where you might not think there’s a connection is in fertility.
If it can be demonstrated that the nervous system (including the part inside your spine), is involved in a stomach problem, thyroid problems or in carpal tunnel problems…why should it be any different for fertility problems?
I frequently get asked “Why should I go to a chiropractor? …my back feels fine…”
This may be a stretch for those who expect / require something to be in pain if there’s something wrong with it, but -
Lots of things hurt that don’t have a serious problem – Did you ever hit your thumb with a hammer? Come–on really! What did you really do anyway? Grow up and stop your whining – It’s just a banged finger!
And then – Lots of very real, serious problems don’t hurt at all…
Does a diabetic say: “Ouch… my pancreas is really hurting today” ?
Does the heart patient say: My “blood pressure is really acting up and making my blood vessels hurt a lot today” ?
Of course not – no-one feels these problems.
Now, here’s the really interesting stuff: If your low back is out of alignment it (also) might not actually be in pain. But, even though it is not hurting you – the nerves at the subluxated / stuck / or poorly functioning joint will still send a signal to the brain indicating there’s a problem which always, and un-avoidably initiates a return signal that will most certainly be sent back from the brain to the site of the problem. (That is one of the bigger functions of the brain). This return signal will then, very likely, affect and interfere with the way the rest of the nerves in that whole area of the body are working / not working.
Of course it will affect it – this is the basis for a majority of illnesses and organ failures.
Bottom line here is actually a question:
What are the rest of those nerves supposed to be controlling?
If those nerves control the way the ovaries and uterus do what ovaries and uteruses do…do you think it’s possible that the ovaries and the uterus might not work exactly the way they’re supposed to do?
Do you think it might affect whether or not a woman can conceive and carry a child to term?
Do you think it might be a good idea to get the back checked for joint problems (even non-painful ones if you’re trying to get pregnant?
Do you need to go re-read paragraph 10?
