5 Ways Chiropractic Care Supports Your Immune System
With flu season upon us, it’s important to maintain a healthy lifestyle to keep our immune system strong to defend against viruses. Chiropractic care positively impacts several systems in the body including the immune system. Here are 5 ways that chiropractic care can help to support your immune system and keep you healthy this flu season.
- Improves Nervous System Function: Chiropractic adjustments help correct spinal restrictions that may interfere with the nervous system’s ability to communicate with the immune system. Since the nervous system plays a key role in regulating immune responses, optimizing its function can enhance immune health.
- Reduces Stress: Chronic stress negatively impacts immune function. Chiropractic care often helps reduce physical and emotional stress by promoting relaxation and improving nerve communication, which can support a stronger immune response.
- Boosts Circulation: Spinal adjustments improve blood flow and circulation, helping to deliver more oxygen and nutrients to organs, including those involved in immune defense. This improved circulation can help bolster the immune system’s ability to fight off infections.
- Promotes Better Sleep: Regular chiropractic adjustments can help improve sleep quality by relieving discomfort and restoring nervous system balance. Better sleep is essential for optimal immune function, as it allows the body to rest, repair, and strengthen its defenses.
- Reduces Inflammation: Chronic inflammation can weaken the immune system. Chiropractic adjustments help reduce inflammation by restoring joint function, which can ease tension and stress on the body, promoting a healthier immune response.
