Chiropractic Care Boosts Immune System!

Most of you are aware of the benefits of chiropractic care for back and neck pain. But did you know that another advantage of chiropractic treatment is improving immune function? The immune system is the body’s line of defense designed to fight off bacterial and viral infections. Chiropractic adjustments remove spinal dysfunctions to allow your nervous system to function at its best. If the nervous system is not functioning properly, then the immune system cannot function properly, and the body becomes susceptible to bacteria, viruses, and illness that it can usually fight off.

The critical link between the nervous system and the immune system is not a new discovery. In 1975, Ronald Pero, Ph.D., chief of cancer prevention research at New York’s Preventive Medicine Institute and professor of medicine at New York University concluded in his study that people under chiropractic care for more than five years demonstrated 200% greater immune function than those who had not. A 1991 study, led by Patricia Brenna, Ph.D., demonstrated an increase in cells that destroy bad cells following chiropractic treatment.

Chiropractic healthcare is a conservative approach and a smart choice for everyone (newborns to seniors). Prepare for the cold and flu season naturally and start chiropractic care today to boost your immune function and enhance your body’s natural line of protection!
