The Connection Between Chiropractic Care and Immune Health

Surprisingly, the alignment of your spine and nervous system plays a significant role in your overall health, including immune system function. When your spine is properly aligned, it allows your nervous system to function optimally. The nervous system controls and coordinates every function in your body, including your immune response. However, misalignments in the spine, known as subluxations, can interfere with these vital communications.

Chiropractic Care and Immune System Function

Chiropractic care focuses on the detection and correction of subluxations in the spine. By realigning the spine, chiropractors aim to restore proper communication between the nervous system and the rest of the body. When your nervous system is functioning correctly, your immune system can better recognize and respond to threats.

Research has shown that chiropractic adjustments can lead to an improvement in immune system function. One study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that patients receiving chiropractic care experienced a 200% increase in immune system competence compared to those who did not receive chiropractic adjustments. This research highlights the tangible benefits of chiropractic care in boosting the immune system.
