Creating a Healthy Couple First!
Creating a baby seems like an easy and fun thing to do. For some this comes true but the reality is 1 in 8 couples have difficulty getting pregnant or staying pregnant.
Many times the woman blames herself when there is a miscarriage. The same is true for the inability to conceive, as many believe this is a female issue. So let me clear this up! It’s thought that 1/3 of infertility is female related, 1/3 of infertility is male related and 1/3 of infertility is a combination of both partners, or the famous explanation of “unexplained” infertility.
Preparation has never been more important when it comes to creating life!
Let’s just give an example of how I plant my garden. First, I prep my soil all year by adding nutrients (compost) so it is full of nutrients when the weather breaks! My seeds need nutrient dense soil that provide the building blocks to produce vibrant plants and vegetables. While those plants are growing, I give them water and protect them from bugs and toxins that can interfere with their growth and development. In a few weeks to months I have vibrant healthy vegetables as a result of creating the optimal environment for them to grow in.
Are you catching on?
Similar to the way I prepare my garden, I assist you and your partner in creating an optimal environment to support healthy conception and pregnancy.
So how can a chiropractor help?
When the spine or pelvis are not moving properly (subluxations/misalignments), it compromises the nervous system and contributes to dysfunction of the body. Misalignments can cause pain and lead to a myriad of dysfunction that disrupts your quality of life.
When these misalignments are corrected, by safe and gentle chiropractic adjustments, it restores normal function to your spine and pelvis allowing the nervous system to better coordinate and regulate your bodies function thus increasing your potential of conceiving.
Just like I prepare the soil for my garden all year, our bodies need at least 4-6 months of prep work to regain our health. For us ladies, it takes about 4 months to create new eggs to be released from our ovaries and for you men, about 2-3 months to create new sperm. Additionally, men and woman turn over their red blood cells after being in circulation for 120 days.
Dr. Iman has been working with a group of chiropractors from all over the world for a few years now. The goal of this group of chiropractors is creating health for couples that are looking to add to their family! In addition to chiropractic adjustments we have a few essentials for both parents to partake in that we discuss in further detail during your office visits. At your first appointment we will do a chiropractic exam and assess for any spinal misalignments. In additional visits we will dive deeper into your overall health to help guide you and your spouse in the right direction to creating health.
