What is NaProTECHNOLOGY and the Creighton Model (CrMS)?
FoundationalNaProTECHNOLOGY (Natural Procreative Technology) is a medical approach that works with natural fertility cycles to diagnose and treat reproductive disorders, using the Creighton Model FertilityCare System (CrMS) as its foundation for precise biomarker tracking.
The Creighton Model FertilityCare System is a standardized charting method that tracks specific fertility biomarkers, primarily cervical mucus patterns, bleeding, and other observable signs. Unlike basic fertility awareness methods, CrMS requires formal instruction from certified practitioners and follows rigorous protocols for accurate data collection.
CrMS charting creates a detailed record of each woman's unique cycle patterns. These biomarkers reveal hormonal function, ovulation quality, and potential reproductive health issues. The standardized approach means the data can be interpreted consistently by trained clinicians worldwide.
NaProTECHNOLOGY uses this charting data to guide both diagnosis and treatment timing. Instead of suppressing natural cycles, clinicians identify the root causes of cycle irregularities and treat them while preserving reproductive function. Treatment protocols are timed to work with the body's natural rhythms rather than against them.
- CrMS instruction follows standardized protocols developed at the Creighton University Model FertilityCare System
- Research shows CrMS can identify luteal phase defects, ovulation disorders, and hormonal imbalances through biomarker patterns
- NaProTECHNOLOGY protocols are taught at centers worldwide, including the Pope Paul VI Institute
RRM Integration
RRM Academy supports CrMS principles within the broader Restorative Reproductive Medicine framework. RRM clinicians use cycle charting data alongside advanced diagnostics and surgical interventions. This combination allows clinicians to address both functional and structural causes of infertility while maintaining the couple-centered, cause-based philosophy that defines restorative care.
NaProTECHNOLOGY represents a paradigm shift from symptom suppression to root cause treatment, using precise biomarker tracking to restore natural reproductive function in couples.
