Question
Hi...I've been going to physical therapy for a radial head fracture (happened 8/29/08) 2x per week and recently started getting adjusted by the chiro in the same day (2x/week) for my neck and back. I am currently in the 2 week wait of trying to conceive- do you think getting the adjustments are safe during ths time or could they possible affect implantation/fertilization/etc?
Any help u can give me is appreciated!
TIA
Hello Meredith,
Chiropractic adjustments help to align the joints of the vertebrae (spine) which house the spinal cord. Adjustments restore joint mobility and help relieve pressure on the nervous system. To answer your question Chiropractic adjustments may be beneficial and safe for you!
Have a great day,
Dr. Brendon O'Brien D.C.
