In 2018, nearly seven million men and women in the usa sought help through assisted fertility treatment, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). The price of this treatment averages $17,000usd with an average success rate of less than thirty-three percent. Both women and men can have problems that cause infertility. About one-third of infertility cases are caused by women’s problems. Another one-third of fertility problems are due to the man. The other cases are caused by a mixture of male and female problems or by unknown problems. The science of chiropractic is founded on the premise that a properly functioning nervous system is the foundation of health and that the structural integrity of the spinal column must be maintained in order to facilitate optimal nervous system transmission and communication in the human body. There are many reasons that spinal adjustments can contribute to the resolution of many cases of infertility. First of all, the uterus...

On the subject of Upper Cervical care and TMJ (jaw) disorders, check out the linked study titled Selected ENT symptoms in functional disorders of the upper cervical spine and temporomandibular joints. M. Hölzl et al Published online: 11 February 2019 They start out stating: Definition of the upper cervical spine The cervical spine is not a unitary system, but is divided into the craniovertebral joints (occiput to C3) and the lower cervical spine (C3 to C7). The difference is manifested in the morphology and joint mechanics as well as in the muscle dynamics and neurophysiology. The segments of the craniovertebral joints comprise the atlanto-occipital joint (Oc-C1) and the atlantoaxial joint(C1/C2). In addition, C2/C3 must be accounted for as an additional part of the system in neuroanatomical, functional, and clinical terms, because the cervico-trigeminal neuroanatomy, converges toward the spinal trigeminal nucleus from the cervical spinal roots of C1–C3. The craniovertebral joint region is a sensory organ for the perception of body position and movement and they continue A “blockade” is a reversible dysfunction of the craniovertebral or temporomandibular joints. Please read this study as they discuss the relationship of the craniocervical region with tinnitus, dysphagia, cervicogenic vertigo, and various cervical disturbances traced to the upper neck. Looking at the illustration from this article, keep in mind the statement of Dr.Amy Pruszenski , “If there is no eye pathology (glaucoma, torn retina,…) consider the...

Sometimes it’s difficult to tell if you need a Structural Correction. Maintaining a regular checkup schedule helps us catch you when you have a Structural Shift away from Normal. Here are a few ways to know if you may need to get in to see us even sooner. THE 48-HOUR RULE: If your pain or other symptoms persist longer than 48 hours, schedule an appointment with your chiropractor. Here’s why: your body is signalling that something is wrong. Pain is your personal smoke alarm you need to actively listen to pain signals, or you may pay the price later. Simply taking pain medication is tantamount to taking the batteries out of that smoke alarm or putting a band aid on without accessing the Primary Condition. The central nervous system is highly adept at compensating and adapting for your structural shifts or injuries so that you can function. Unfortunately, if you’ve been dealing with painful symptoms anywhere from three days to three or more years, your body may be compensating in harmful ways that prevent or slow the healing process. PROBLEMS MOVING: If you do not have full range of motion (look over your shoulder and see what’s behind you), bend over easily, or move your limbs through their full range, you should give us a call....

If you have a friend or family member that has struggled with sciatica, lower back pain, hip pain or other conditions related to lower spinal pain, or if you have struggled with these conditions yourself and now you’ve seen the results because of upper cervical care, you may have a hard time explaining how it helped you. We have found that many conventional treatments focus on the lower back when the actual cause of the problem may be in the upper spine. The upper neck can be a factor in the development of lower back pain for two reasons. First, the upper cervical spine (neck) has thousands of “sensors” responsible for maintaining both the proper posture and alignment of the spine, as well as the balance and stability of the head. These sensors are constantly monitoring the head position, making the necessary changes throughout the lower spine to assure that the head remains upright. Secondly,the spine works and moves as one continuous unit. The top two vertebrae, called the atlas and axis, are the most mobile segments in the spine. These two bones move in six different directions, allowing the head to move up or down, bend side to side, and turn left to right. The other vertebrae move primarily in two directions, making them stronger and more...
