One of the most alarming recent studies published found that since the 1970's, sperm counts have dropped by over 50% in developed countries. In fact, previous studies show that this trend began in the 1950's, with the greatest decrease in the last 20 years. While a lower sperm count has a significant effect on fertility, this is just a symptom of a deeper, underlying problem, which has broad implications, as testosterone levels and overall heatlh can also be affected. There are many theories as to why this is happening. It's unlikely that there is a single cause, as with most health issues, but a combination of several factors, including endocrine disrupting chemicals found in plastics, alcohol, cigarettes, refined sugar, and saturated fat. Another environmental toxin which is often overlooked is the increasing amounts of electromagnetic pollution. Numerous studies have shown a link between the wireless frequencies and decreased sperm counts, sperm motility, and even fertility. Today, nearly everyone is constantly in close proximity to a microwave-emitting device, such as a cell phone and WiFi is now literally everywhere. A recent study has shown that even the rate of testicular cancer is rising in teenage boys. Some scientists believe that this is likely because nearly every teenage boy carries a cell phone in their front pockets. Another factor which I believe has contributed to the decrease in sperm counts is the altererd nerve supply to the reproductive organs. The proper nerve supply to any part of the body is essential. Pelvic and lumbar subluxations are present in nearly every male today, which directly disturbs the nerve and blood supply to the testes. This results, in part, due to the lack of motion in the pelvis, as life now revolves around sitting and most men hardly walk. Chiropractic plays an important role in restoring proper function of the spine and pelvis, thereby improving nerve and blood flow to the reproductive and endocrine systems.

| The male reproductive organs have an extensive nerve and blood supply. Chiropractic care can improve the function of these organs, helping with sexual dysfunction and fertility. |
