Roughly four years ago, there was conversation amongst friends about one couple’s inability to conceive. One of the friends suggested the couple try their chiropractor. The appointment was set. Only one small detail: they lived an entire state away.
But that wasn’t going to stop them.
Four and a half hours one way and they sat down with the chiropractor and discussed their concern. Now keep in mind, there weren’t a whole lot of auxiliary symptoms to speak of. They had been married for nearly five years with no progress in the arena of child-conceiving. X-rays were taken along with the examination.
Now keep in mind that if any area of your spine has lost healthy motion or alignment, it presents itself either by a loss of proper function, pain, or both. This means it is very likely that something that should be working well could not work well and leave no trail of pain to feel. That’s a very confusing point for many. Pain shouts so much louder than dysfunction.
With this fine husband and wife, pain wasn’t the motivator, but their inability to conceive was. The results of their testing were reviewed with them and although we encouraged them with seeking a chiropractor closer to home, they insisted they would like to come up one weekend per month and “see what happens.”
They made some recommended diet changes, watched their postural bad habits with a keen eye, and made a priority of driving a state away for chiropractic care once per month for both the husband and the wife.
A year later they announced they were pregnant, giving birth to a beautiful baby boy. At that point they started occasionally seeing a chiropractor closer to home and we didn’t see them very often. At least not until just this past week, a year and a half since we saw them last. They came walking in with their almost two-year-old son and a new six-month-old daughter in tow. They wanted their newest child to have the benefit of a chiropractic check-up!
At the end of the visit I asked for permission to take a picture of their two beautiful children. I wanted to share the story of what a body is capable of if you include chiropractic in your health. They were more than happy to let us take a picture and share the story for your benefit!
After twenty or so quick pictures, I managed to get one of them both smiling at the same time. When you look at those two beautiful kids, know that chiropractic makes a difference!
