A chiropractor can help their patients with much more than back or neck pain. One of the lesser-known benefits of chiropractic health is that it can make it easier for patients to conceive, whether they are just now planning to try for a child or have been trying for months. Dr. Jack Harrison, DC, at North Pole Chiropractic in Alaska is an expert in how this holistic approach can help with a patient’s fertility goals and has shared a few benefits below.

Treatment for chiropractic health offers overall body benefits, which in turn boosts fertility and allows for a healthier pregnancy:

• Improved Body Function: A typical chiropractic treatment such as a spinal adjustment does not just provide pain relief, it actually improves the function of the body as a whole. For example, by re-aligning the vertebrae, the central nervous system is made more efficient. It then sends messages throughout the body–including the reproductive and immune systems–to help them work more efficiently. A healthier body is more likely to conceive and have a healthy baby.
• Priceless Advice: In addition to the treatments themselves, a chiropractor gives their patient a lot of advice during their appointment. This may include recommendations on lifestyle or diet changes for a healthier body. Following the advice will boost your body’s performance and function, making it easier to get pregnant.
• Stress Relief: Everyone experiences stress and anxiety, especially those who are having difficulty getting pregnant. This mental stress in turn physically impacts the body, which can become a vicious cycle as it makes it more difficult to conceive. A chiropractic treatment offers both immediate and long-lasting relief from stress and anxiety.
