Chiropractic and Your Immune System!

By Dr. Jason Bergerhouse

The benefits of Chiropractic Care for your health are numerous. Some of the many benefits include pain relief in your joints, back, neck, etc. Others may include increased mobility, performance, balance, coordination or energy. We have been given an incredible ability to heal ourselves. It is not normal to have chronic pain or be sick all the time. A person can be unhealthy even though they may not have any symptoms. For example, 35% of all heart attacks happen without any prior symptoms or warning signs. Were those 35% healthy the day before they had their heart attack?

Since its inception, Chiropractic has asserted that viruses and microbes don’t threaten us all equally and that a healthy immune system easily repels most invaders.

The immune system protects us from the flu, as well as any other infectious disease, and strives to get us well again when we do fall ill. Our immune system, like every other system in the body, is controlled and coordinated by the nervous system. For example, white blood cells of the immune system are controlled by the nervous system.

Chiropractic corrects spinal abnormalities called Vertebral Subluxations. Subluxations cause interference to the nerve system by irritating the nerves. Since the nervous system controls all functioning of the body; including the immune system, Chiropractic care can have a positive effect on immune function.

During an immune response, the brain and the immune system “talk to each other” and this process is essential for maintaining homeostasis or balance in the body. If the Nervous System is not functioning properly, then the immune System cannot function at 100%, thus the body becomes fertile ground for bacteria, viruses and illness.

Children who have regular Chiropractic Adjustments have fewer colds, ear infections, and the flu. “People who receive regular Chiropractic Adjustments have immune system competency that is 200% greater than those who don’t.”  (Dr. Ron Pero. New York Preventative Medicine Institute and Environmental Health at NYU)

Even though you are not sick, your spine may be misaligned and causing interference to your nerve system. Regular Chiropractic check-ups can help you to maintain a healthy immune system and stave off illnesses. A Chiropractic Adjustment will restore the balance to your nervous system and restore the flow of energy and information throughout the body.

We live in a crisis society. Many people wait until they get sick to finally start taking care of themselves. Right now, more and more people are sicker than ever before and are taking more medications and drugs. The problem is drugs don’t work to actually HEAL you! It’s time to give those you love thre greatest gift of all…. their health, refer them in for a free consultation.
