Resolution of Infertility followed by a healthy pregnancy and delivery with Chiropractic.

In the Journal of Pediatric, Maternal and Family Health published on March 12, 2012.  There was an article documenting the resolution of infertility in a woman previously diagnosed with a case of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.  Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, a condition resulting from an imbalance of women’s female sex hormones, can lead to infertility and affects approximately 6.6 % of reproductive aged women.  Check out the full article here : http://drlarsenchiro.com/2012/06/19/resolution-of-infertility-followed-by-a-healthy-pregnancy-and-delivery-with-chiropractic/

Vertebral subluxation

 

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

Jump to: navigation, search

This article is about the chiropractic concept. For medical subluxations, see Subluxation.

Vertebral subluxation is a term that is commonly used by some chiropractors (specifically, “straight chiropractors”) to describe signs and symptoms of the spinal column. Those chiropractors who assert this concept also add a visceral component to the definition. Chiropractors maintain that a vertebral subluxation complex is a dysfunctional biomechanical spinal segment which is fixated. Chiropractors additionally assert that the dysfunction actively alters neurological function, which in turn, is believed to lead to neuromusculoskeletal and visceral disorders. The WHO acknowledges this difference between the medical and chiropractic definitions of a subluxation…

Here is some more news  from around the web about Chiropractic treatments giving good results for infertilty. Now of course the chiropractors themselves are biased in favour of telling you that their treatments methods might work for you and you need to take that into account.  But also look at real cases of independent studies that seem to show that these treatments are genuine successful treatments for some people.  Definately worth checking out and I will be doing some follow up articles myself on this topic so be sure to subscribe to my newsletter.

In this short article we’ll take a look at the confusion about exactly what infertility really means and look at the signs of infertility. First of all it’s important to realize that most cases of so called infertility are really cases of sub fertility or reduced or impaired fertility. The word infertility taken literally as unable to conceive is used incorrectly for most people as the true nature of their problem is actually sub fertility or impaired fertility. And often simple steps can correct that situation.Full article on > Signs of Infertility < here.

First off is to cover the basics that some people may overlook in trying to become pregnant and that is to ensure all your ducks are in a row so to speak. For example, having sex on a regular enough basis or emphasizing having sex at the optimal time in the month may be a key factor. Another thing is to try to eat a healthy diet, cut down or cut out alcohol. Stop smoking. Continue reading →

OK, in this short post we’ll be taking a closer look at Polycystic Ovaries. It is often known as PCOS with the PC standing for PolyCystic part and the OS standing for Ovarian Syndrome. Research has shown clearly that there is a connection between having polycystic ovaries and infertility. We have a larger article on PCOS here.

There are several factors that can contribute to cause PCOS thus the medical profession regard it as a complex condition. Excessive production of Insulin is a common factor in PCOS and this can lead to production of the male hormone testosterone which in turn harms the development of healthy eggs by the follicles.

Let’s look at an ordinary menstrual period where a woman produces between 10 to 20 egg follicles. This process occurs after FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) is produced. Continue reading →

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease or PID as it is also known is term to describe an infection affecting a woman’s reproductive system. This could be any organs or structures within the pelvic area but particularly the uterus, ovaries or fallopian tubes. Although pain in the lower abdomen is quite common there are also many women that do not have any noticeable symptoms. PID can come about following an STD type of infection such as chlamydia and gonorrhea but also a consequence of using an Intra-Uterine Device (IUD). PID is known to be significant risk for causing infertility in women. PID can cause serious gynecological diseases such as ectopic pregnancy, abscess growth, infertility and also recurrent pelvic pain.

How big a problem is PID for women?
As many as 750,000 (three quarters of a million!!) women experience PID in the USA per Continue reading →

Lets have a brief look at Male Fertility in this post. Male infertility or sub-fertility has been on the increase in the last 30 years. There’s no doubt that this has been a topic that many men do not want to discuss. In this post we will be looking at some of the reasons for this and delving into the different types of infertility that affect men. Read a more in depth article on Male Fertility here…

Whilst many are under the impression that infertility lies mainly with the woman, in fact nearly as many men have fertility problems as women. It has baffled scientists for many years for the reason that male sperm levels have been plummeting in the population generally and many scientific theories have arisen to to explain this very real phenomena. Still today, it’s not definitely known why or how sperm counts are affected, and indeed it Continue reading →

OK, so let take a look at Infertility Statistics so we can see the problem with some perspective. Infertility affects large numbers of people and seems to be on the increase. I don’t think there are any definite theories on why this occurring but scientists the world over are looking into this problem. or really, a set of problems as their are probably multiple reasons for this. See our major article on Infertility Statistics here…

In actual fact although many people are lumped into the classification of being infertile, in reality they fall into a very large group of couples that simply find it difficult (or very difficult) in getting pregnant, but do indeed succeed in becoming pregnant eventually. In these cases we can refer to them as difficulties due to sub-fertility.

There are estimated to be 50 to 80 million women worldwide with infertility problems. Continue reading →

OK, in this short post we will have a look at Infertility Insurance. Some countries such as the UK, have very good free healthcare systems (NHS in UK) that can provide treatments free. In other countries of the world, including the USA, almost all fertility healthcare is run by private enterprises which means direct or indirect payments for health services. Most of the newer high tech infertiltiy treatments are very costly, so deep pockets are required if you don’t have a medical plan or healthcare insurance. Take a look at my more in-depth page on Infertility Insurance here…

Thirty years ago there were many classes of infertility that had no hope of treatment.

But for many this has become a great frustration because although these treatments have come along, they are expensive and can be out of reach for many people. Continue reading →

Endometriosis Symptoms

In this short post we will take a look at Endometriosis Symptoms and the role that endometriosis plays in infertility.  First to say is that endometriosis is a fairly common condition in women and varies in the severity and diversity of the problem.  There are estimated to be about 1 in 2000 new cases of women diagnosed with endometriosis in the USA in a year and the average age is 39 years old.  There are 3 times as many black women diagnosed with the condition compared to white, Asian or Hispanic.

The endometrium is the lining uterus and this is the very same tissue that is constantly changing throughout a woman’s menstrual cycle in preparation for a fertilized egg.  The endometrium thickens during the menstrual cycle and if no pregnancy results breaks away to cause the bleeding we see on menstruation. In actual fact the lining is thickening in preparation to accept a fertilized egg and this is a perfectly natural function.  The cells of the endometrium are strongly influenced by hormones throughout a woman’s cycles.  The Continue reading →
