Your immune system is your body’s frontline defense against infections, illnesses, and inflammation. But did you know it works hand-in-hand with your nervous system? When your spine is misaligned, it can interfere with nerve signals that help regulate immune responses, leaving you more vulnerable.
Chiropractic adjustments help restore spinal alignment, improving communication between your brain and immune organs such as the thymus, spleen, and lymph nodes. This supports a stronger, more balanced immune response.
Historical studies from the 1918 flu pandemic observed that chiropractic patients had lower mortality rates, and modern research shows chiropractic care can positively affect immune markers like natural killer cells and white blood cell counts.
If you’re tired of feeling run down or getting sick frequently, chiropractic care might be a supportive part of your wellness routine. It’s a natural, drug-free way to help your body stay strong and resilient.
