Chiropractic Care and The Immune System

As you know, the Central Nervous System (CNS) is responsible for controlling the communication and overall function of the body. One fact that surprises a lot of our patients is that chiropractic care can actually BOOST your immune system. Here's how:

If you read up on any illness, chronic disease, ailment etc. you'll find the common thread between all of them is "inflammation and stress". Most of the stress in the human body tends to collect around the spine.

As stress collects around the spine, it produces more inflammation, which in turn interrupts and impacts the Central Nervous System's ability to control the rest of the body. This makes it increasingly difficult for the CNS to coordinate an immune response because all of its communication pathways are blocked up.

Studies have indicated that chiropractic care can improve the immune response by 200%. In today's climate, I think we can all agree that improving the body's immune response is a great thing.
