What to Expect in a Fertility Assessment

 By Paul Doney - Chiropractor | Craniosacral Therapy & Myofascial Release

Those men and women who come to me for assessment regarding fertility issues have generally seen our naturopath, Gabriela Rosa, as part of a program of preparation for pregnancy.

Ideally I will see both partners. The chief thing that I am looking for is structural, postural or muscle imbalances that are going to affect the health and function of the reproductive organs.

With both sexes I commonly see pelvises that have become rigid and /or misaligned. Your pelvis should be a flexible structure. There is a degree of “springiness” that is seen in a healthy pelvis. When you pelvis becomes rigid it is a sign that the muscles and connective tissue that connect to the bones have become too tight. This places pressure on blood vessels, nerves and lymphatics that pass through these tissues to supply the reproductive organs. As a result these organs work sub-optimally, with poorer oxygenation, nutrition and waste removal. Over time they can become dysfunctional and even diseased.

The techniques I use to rebalance and “soften” such a pelvis vary from gentle balancing holds to massage and even spinal manipulation. It may be just one visit (if I think your pelvis is doing well) or a series aimed at bringing flexibility and stability to your whole body.

Other issues that I deal with are around menstrual dysfunction. Missed or irregular periods, painful or heavy bleeds, all respond to gentle rebalancing of the pelvis and spine. This process is usually assisted by herbs, vitamins or acupuncture.

Of particular concern to some women are the effects of scaring and adhesions from surgical procedures or as a result of endometriosis. These can have remarkable responses to gentle therapies such as Myofascial Release and Craniosacral Therapy.
