Sneezing, Coughing, Fevers Oh My!!
Have you been stuck wondering what you can do to help your immune system function better during the winter months so as not to come down with the typical colds, flu, and viruses that plague us this time of year? What if I told you the answer is contained right within your body!!!
Patients who come in with colds, sore throats, sinus congestion and stomach viruses often remark that their recovery seems to be accelerated by the chiropractic adjustment. Recent scientific developments now lend support to the idea that chiropractic correction of the subluxation can aid the immune responses of the body by reducing nerve interference.
This is one of the most exciting areas of chiropractic. More and more research is pointing to an immune system enhancement effect of the spinal adjustment. A properly functioning nervous system is better able to respond quickly to those pesky intruders that leave us feeling tired, achy, congested, and otherwise blah.
The anatomical and physiological connections between the immune system and the nervous system suggest that the nervous system plays a role in the modulation of the immune response.
Your immune system plays such an enormous role in the overall health of literally every cell and tissue in the body. Not only is it the immune system’s job to protect from coughs and colds but also it helps fight against cancer; repair damaged joints and slow down the aging process.
Don’t limit chiropractic care to aches and pains. Make chiropractic a part of you and your family’s wellness strategy. KEEP YOUR POWER TURNED ON!
