Chiropractic Helps Maintain A Strong Immune System

hvjlhvlhjv

Chiropractic adjustments help regulate the nervous system. The nervous system controls the body and communicates with immune tissue to keep you healthy and fight infections.

Researchers in New York found that people under chiropractic care for more than five years demonstrated 200% greater immune function that those who were not. One study measured a 48% increase in immune cells in HIV patients over a six-month period, compared to an 8% decrease in the control group.

Chiropractic adjustments do not treat conditions directly, but through addressing spinal dysfunctions, chiropractic treatment encourages your body to respond appropriately, effectively, and optimally.

This time of year, colds are rampant. Maintaining a healthy spine will help you ward off illnesses and maintain a strong immune system. Come in today, get adjusted, and stay healthy!

What Can Regular Chiropractic Adjustments Do For You?

1. Preventative Injury Management

Our bodies undergo daily stresses and pressures that may be causing what are called “micro injuries.” If left alone, these small dysfunctions in our muscles and joints will eventually cause us to suffer more serious injuries. Chiropractic can address them early on and thus prevent more serious injuries from occurring.

2. Improved Posture

How you carry yourself every day has a huge impact on how your body functions. Chiropractic will work to pinpoint where your spine is not moving properly and restore motion, thereby allowing you to have optimal posture. 

3. Optimal Body Performance 

Some of the most impactful effects of chiropractic include increased oxygenation, improved circulation, muscle spasm reduction, enhanced flexibility, and more efficient delivery of nutrients to your cells, which leads to faster recovery time after a workout or injury.

4. Pain Relief & Elimination

Ideally, chiropractic works to keep your health in top shape rather than going to the doctor when you are already experiencing problematic symptoms. It will reverse the symptoms as well. It is our philosophy to address the root cause of your pain and get you to your healthiest point by starting with the root of all of your bodily functions: your spine.

Keys to Maintaining a Healthy Spine

Being aware of our movement patterns is essential to maintaining proper spinal health.

Here are 3 quick and easy tips to help your spine stay healthy:

1. When seated: keep your low back supported. Make sure your back is arched inward toward your belly and not outward against the chair.

2. When standing: is stress causing you to hold both shoulders up toward your ears? If so, take five full deep breaths. This will help relieve stress. Now drop your shoulders while keeping them pulled back.

3. When sleeping on your back: place a pillow under your knees. If you sleep on your side, place a pillow between your knees. NEVER sleep on your stomach.

Move Well, Eat Well, Think Well

I want to share with you three fundamental principles to a healthy life:

  • Move Well: Keep moving! That means you shouldn’t binge watch TV, or sit at your office desk for many hours straight. Breaks are important to your spinal health, even if they are short.
  • Move Well Part 2: Proper spinal movement through continued chiropractic care is essential to preventing accelerated spinal degeneration and ensuring healthy nerve function.
  • Eat Well: What you put into your body can be the best form of medicine or the worst form of poison. Choose wisely. Processed and artificial foods should be avoided.
  • Think Positively: We live in our minds; therefore, what you think is where you are and where you are destined to head. Think positively and your life will lead you to great places.
