One Patient's Story: Pregnancy Support and a History of PCOS

NST does not diagnose, treat, or cure PCOS or any other medical condition, and it is not a fertility or pregnancy treatment. This is one patient's personal account, shared with her permission — always talk with your OB-GYN or physician about PCOS, fertility, or pregnancy-related care.

Our work at the clinic is not limited to muscle strains, posture can also affect the health of the internal organs.

A 33-year-old woman came into our clinic in 2012 with several complaints, including pain the low back, hip, and SI joints. At the time she was pregnant after several miscarriages; the patient also had a history of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a painful condition that many women suffer with during their child-bearing years. With this condition, women experience infrequent and/or prolonged periods, increased levels of androgen, and can deal with complications such as infertility, sleep apnea, depression, and nausea.

Postural analysis revealed significant distortions of the hips, including excessive flexion and a flexion disorder. After a month’s worth of treatments, our patient told us she felt better. She went on to have a healthy delivery.

Within two years, she experienced a miscarriage and a return of low back and hip discomfort, along with nausea and reduced appetite. She continued NST sessions focused on the hips, and told us her discomfort eased and her appetite improved over time. She later became pregnant again and, with NST sessions continuing throughout, had a healthy delivery. NST does not treat PCOS, infertility, or pregnancy complications, and we can't say what role, if any, the sessions played in her outcomes — we're sharing her story only as her own personal experience, not as a guarantee or typical result for others.
