Fertility Issues and How Chiropractic Can Help

Nothing is more frustrating than fertility troubles. Creating a family is often the number one goal for someone to achieve in life and having difficulties with that can be frustrating, saddening, and not to mention costly. However, when becoming pregnant is difficult, the first thing you should try is chiropractic care. Here at Therapeutic Solutions, LLC in Newport News, VA, Dr. Christopher Brill has experience treating women having trouble conceiving.

When the nerves throughout the body do not have a clear path to and from the brain, messages are disrupted and the body does not function as it should. Dysfunctional nerves are often present because the spine is not in line. When the spine is misaligned, this is called a subluxation. These subluxations put pressure on the nerves and blood vessels, as well as other parts of the body, disrupting messages to and from the brain. This leads to impaired organ function and general health, including fertility.

When your spine is in line, the rest of your body is functioning as it should. Dr. Brill can make spinal adjustments to put the spine back in line and relieve the pressure that can be causing fertility problems. Spinal adjustments consist of small, quick movements to the spine and joints.

Tips for Everyday Spinal Wellness

The hustle and bustle of our daily life can be hectic and sometimes our health can take a backseat to our list of to-dos, appointments, and work. However, correcting certain habits throughout your day can make you feel a lot better, all without taking any extra time! Dr. Christopher Brill of Therapeutic Solutions, LLC of Newport News, VA has some tips he recommends for overall wellness.

If you spend your days working at a desk, sitting in the right position is very important. Make sure your chair is a good fit for your back, providing support in the right places. Your feet should touch the floor at a ninety degree angle. Your computer screen should be positioned so that you look up at it, not down.

Posture is important whether you are sitting or standing. Standing or sitting up straight, keeping your chin up, and wearing proper shoes will help facilitate good posture. While sitting, it is recommended to have your feet flat on the floor, without crossing your legs. For a job where you are sitting for long periods of time, it is recommended that you stand or stretch for a minute or two every half hour.

While lifting heavy objects, good posture is especially important. Improper lifting could lead to an injury. Keeping your spine in line and bending at the knees will help avoid injury. Twisting your body while lifting even light objects is not recommended.

Scoliosis and Chiropractic Care

Scoliosis is the abnormal sideways curvature of the spine. While many cases are mild, severe progression can lead to chronic back pain, and difficulties with the heart and lungs. Here at Therapeutic Solutions, LLC in Newport News, VA, Dr. Christopher Brill has extensive experience treating patients with scoliosis, helping them slow down and even stop the progression of scoliosis.

Stopping the progression of scoliosis works the best in children before puberty stops. Wearing a brace while the bones are still growing makes it much more likely that there will be low progression in the curvature.

There are two types of braces recommended for scoliosis. One is an under-arm brace that will help curves in the middle spine and lower spine. A full-torso brace called the Milwaukee brace will help curves that are in the upper spine or the neck, as well as the lower and middle spine.

Dr. Brill also has treatment for those who do not need to wear a brace or for those whose bones have stopped growing. Spinal adjustments, physical therapy, home exercises, and monitoring can all help achieve pain relief due to scoliosis, as well as prevent future health issues in association with scoliosis.

Dr.  Brill can take x-rays to determine the severity of the curvature in the spine and determine the best treatment for your specific case. Scoliosis is best caught early. If you are concerned about your spinal health or the spinal health of a loved one, please visit Dr. Brill for an evaluation.
