While chiropractic care is not a fertility treatment, optimizing spinal and pelvic neurological function creates a better physiological environment for conception. Many couples undergoing fertility care benefit from concurrent chiropractic support.
Fertility is governed by a complex interplay of hormonal, neurological, vascular, and structural factors. The lumbar and sacral spine supplies nerve innervation to the reproductive organs, and pelvic misalignment can create physical barriers — such as intrauterine constraint and compromised blood flow to the ovaries and uterus. The hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, which regulates reproductive hormones, is influenced by the overall state of the nervous system. Chronic subluxations that maintain sympathetic overactivation can suppress HPG axis function. Chiropractic care optimizes spinal and neurological function as a supportive component of holistic fertility care.
Dr. Foss focuses on optimizing lumbosacral alignment and pelvic balance to support the best possible neurological and vascular environment for the reproductive organs. SOT pelvic corrections normalize the nerve supply to the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes while reducing pelvic floor tension that may contribute to structural barriers to conception. Craniosacral therapy supports the hypothalamic-pituitary system through occiput and sphenoid corrections. Chiropractic care in this context is best understood as removing neurological obstacles to the body's natural fertility mechanisms — a supportive complement to medical fertility treatment.
At Pura Vida Chiropractic, Dr. Foss uses Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT) — a gentle, category-based system that addresses the spine, pelvis, and craniosacral rhythm as one integrated unit. SOT restores proper biomechanics, reduces nerve interference, and creates the neurological environment your body needs to heal itself.
For many patients, combining spinal correction with regenerative therapies produces faster and more lasting results. Depending on your condition, Dr. Foss may incorporate one or more of the following:
Photobiomodulation with a 10–15W Class IV laser delivers therapeutic light energy deep into tissue, reducing inflammation, blocking pain signals, and speeding healing at the cellular level.

Chiropractic doesn't treat the medical causes of infertility (hormonal, tubal, ovulatory, male-factor), but it can support a healthier reproductive environment by correcting pelvic and sacral dysfunction, balancing the autonomic nervous system, and supporting overall stress regulation. Many patients combining chiropractic with medical fertility care report improved outcomes.
SOT pelvic and sacral adjustment improves blood flow and nerve supply to the reproductive organs. Cranial work supports HPA-axis regulation. Care is provided throughout the cycle and is appropriate alongside IVF, IUI, and natural-cycle conception attempts. Webster Technique is particularly well-suited to this work.
Most patients trying to conceive see Dr. Foss weekly for 2–3 months, then taper to every 2 weeks. Care continues through any IVF or IUI cycles, with appropriate adjustments around procedure timing. Many patients continue chiropractic care through pregnancy after conception.
Yes. SOT is gentle and compatible with all medical fertility care including IVF, IUI, and medication-assisted cycles. Dr. Foss coordinates timing around procedure schedules and is familiar with the typical fertility treatment protocols his patients are using.
