Conception Childbirth & Infertility

As an osteopath women often came to see me with pelvic problems. Some common factors emerged. They either had back pain or sciatica. They had difficulties in pregnancy or giving birth. Emergency caesarians were sometimes needed. They had symphysis pubis disorder (SPD) in pregnancy. This condition is a softening of the ligaments that join the pubic bones putting a strain across the groin. It leads to lack of stability & difficulty in walking. In studying the anatomy of the pelvis and through helping hundreds of women I discovered that osteopathic treatment can not only relieve back & hip pain or some causes of sciatica, but also help improve the chances of fertility. A number of women found that they became fertile not long after osteopathic treatment or that they did not experience severe difficulties in pregnancy or childbirth.
