Treatments can be very costly with no guarantees of conception. Many times, several attempts are made with no suc- cess, putting an enormous emotional and financial strain on the family and taxing the delicate hormonal balance of the woman, further decreasing her chances of conception. At Natural Medicine & Rehabilitation (NMR) we recognize the highly sensitive emotion- al challenges that come with infertility and failed pregnancies, and the need for more natural answers to such an intricate and delicate issue. Optimal health and fertility is the result of complex interactions of many bodily systems, internal and external factors, not merely our reproductive organs alone. It is crucial to understand the roles each of these factors play in our ability to conceive. For example, inabili- ty to properly manage stress can influ- ence ovarian function by creating a ‘fight or flight’ response in the body. During periods of stress, reproduction is not a priority for our bodies. Poor nutri- tion and increased toxic load are proven to not only decrease egg quality and miscarriage rates due to chromosomal abnormalities, but also to lower sperm counts in men. Women who are trying to conceive later in life may experience decreased blood flow or misalignment of reproductive organs. Such changes are similar to those that affect our aging joints and muscles and can be reversed with visceral manipulation techniques such as Merciér Therapy. Fertility challenges must be addressed with a multifaceted approach that identifies and treats the root cause of the imbalance. This should include a thorough history and physical exami- nation, pelvic organ positioning, nutri- tion and toxicity assessment, stress assessment, laboratory and diagnostics review. This allows for an individualized plan for each of the women we are supporting through this wonderful journey. The journey to conception at NMR is drug free and utilizes Merciér Therapy. This program supports women who are looking to conceive naturally or undergoing medically assisted pro- grams, such as IUI or IVF, to maximize their chances for conception. We are excited to offer Merciér Therapy as a non-invasive treatment with an 83% pregnancy success rate within one year of finishing the Shared Journey Fertility Program TM . This program offers support in areas of nutrition, supplementation for hormonal balance, gyno-visceral manipulations and a year of on-going support and guidance. Gyno-visceral manipulations are part of Merciér Therapy and utilized to relieve congestion, tension, and stagnation in and around the stomach, intestines, uterus, bladder, ovaries, and pelvic floor to restore proper organ align- ment. This supports the structures of the pelvic, abdomen, hips and lower back and ensures proper blood flow to maximize reproductive organ function- ality. Re-training the pelvic organs to return to their normal status, position and function is the natural approach to increase the chance for conception while enhancing the health of those structures and the body in general. This therapy can drastically improve success rates of using IVF alone, which has a 29.4% pregnancy success rate. There are only 150 Merciér Therapy practitioners world-wide who are cer- tified to offer the Shared Journey Fer- tility Program TM , Dr. Claudia being one of them right here in New Jersey. If you are looking for a natural, restora- tive fertility program or to improve your success rate with IVF, we are here to help.
