chiropractic care helps boost your immune system
To understand how chiropractic care helps improve the immune system it’s important to discuss what weakens the immune system in the first place. Below is a list of the factors that affect the immune system. These are things everyone should be mindful of if they want to be proactive about preventing illness and poor health.
Reminder: Do not try to tough out sickness, especially with symptoms like fever, chills, congestion, and shortness of breath. If you have these or other flu-like symptoms, seek out immediate medical help. Our Chiro2me doctors are ready to help, give us a call.
What Factors Can Weaken Your Immune System?
sleep
proper nutrition
excercise
Studies have shown that lack of sleep and chronic sleep deprivation is not only bad for your health but also your immune system. When you are at rest, your body releases protective antibodies to fight off inflammation and infection. Sleep deprivation hampers the production of these antibodies, exponentially increasing the likelihood of getting sick.
excercise
proper nutrition

Staying active with regular excercis is a great way to not only remain healthy but boost your immune system. Studies reveal that when participants engage in regular moderate exercise enhances a person’s overall immune defense and metabolic health.

The scientific community has linked inadequate nutrition to poor health in a vast array of studies. It goes without saying that a proper diet is crucial to maintaining a resilient immune system. If you are someone who is not getting the proper nutrients you need for your health, consider augmenting your diet with Chiro2me's wide range of supplements.
stress

Chronic stress can negatively impact a person’s health. Not only persistent durations of stress are a significant factor for medical conditions, high blood pressure and heart attacks, but it can also weaken their body’s immune response. This decreases a person’s ability to combat disease, especially during times of duress. If you are experiencing chronic stress or anxiety, let our doctors help you.

Germs live all around us, including the surface of our bodies. We pick them up like Velcro as we go about our day-to-day lives. Fortunately, the body’s first line of defense, the skin shields our bodies from the infiltration of most germs. Unfortunately, we can unintentionally expose ourselves to these germs when we eat or touch our faces. So good hand hygiene is essential to maintain our health and the health of those around us.
social distancing

Social distancing may be a relatively new term, but its concept has been practiced for centuries. When someone is sick, they often refrain from interactions to help keep others remain healthy. In short, if you are feeling ill, practice social distancing, and seek medical care as needed
4 WAYS CHIROPRACTIC CARE STRENGTHENS IMMUNE SYSTEM
1. It Allows Proper Communication to Your Immune System
Messages are sent throughout your body via your nervous system, which is primarily housed within your spinal column in your spinal cord. When your immune system needs to act, whether by releasing antibodies, discharging hormones, or increasing production of white blood cells, the brain needs to send a message to make that happen. If you have interference in the communication pathways (that is, the spinal cord), the message may not arrive at its destination, or it may arrive distorted. When you’re under regular chiropractic care, your spinal column will be aligned and there will be little to no nerve interference in your nervous system, allowing for proper communication between your brain and immune system.
2. It Helps You Get Sick Less Often
When you get sick, your body is fighting off an invader that it deems dangerous. Most medications tend to eliminate the invader immediately, leaving your body with an inability to know how to fight it off if it attacks again. Chiropractic focuses on optimizing whole body function, meaning that your body will have the ability and opportunity to fight off a dangerous invader, and it will be able to do so effectively, quickly, and thoroughly. The next time that invader approaches you, your body will kick into high gear and eradicate the invader promptly, oftentimes before you even realize it was present.
3. It Helps You Get Over Sicknesses Faster
Optimal immune health means fewer and less severe sicknesses, but it also means faster recovery when you do get sick. Chiropractic care has been shown to increase the body’s antibody levels, which are important in maintaining health. When we create more antibodies, we can use more, and we can then fight off sicknesses easier.
4. It Helps Your Mindset Change
When you realize that chiropractic works to minimize sick days and maximize your health, and when you realize that you don’t have to take another medication or have another surgery to feel better, you start looking for other ways to improve your health and immune system function. Your mindset will shift from sickness care to actual health care, and you’ll embrace new ways of optimizing your immune system and whole body health.

Chiropractic focuses on the spine, which protects the spinal cord, which controls the nervous system. Your nervous system works with your immune system to help your body heal when sick or injured, fight off bacteria and viruses, and adapt to changing environments. Optimal immune health comes from optimal nervous system health, which is rooted in your spine.
