Two years of the coronavirus pandemic has made everyone more aware of the importance of having a robust immune system. Your immune system is the part of your body that fights viruses, bacteria and infections. Having a strong immune system means you will be less likely to catch any ailment and more able to fight it off should you need to.
Of course, chiropractic care does not prevent or cure COVID-19, but what it does do is improve your overall health. This in turn means you are less likely to get sick.
How Does Chiropractic Care Help the Immune System?
Chiropractic care supports the nervous system. Chiropractic adjustments reinforce good spinal health and help to restore joint function. Because the nervous system uses the spine as a type of freeway for carrying information to the rest of the body, if it is injured or misaligned, you are more likely to suffer from an injury or illness.
In some cases, the immune system can suffer from compressed nerve pathways. This weakens the immune system’s natural mechanisms for fighting off illness. Correct alignment of the spine improves nerve function and will boost your immune system.
Stress and the Immune System
One of the biggest ways that your mood and state of mind can affect your health is through your immune system. The immune system can be weakened by too much stress.
One of the best things about regular chiropractic care as part of a healthy lifestyle is that it helps to relieve stress. Stress can build up in the spine, leading to neck, shoulder and back pain as well as diminishing the immune system.
Chiropractic Care for Stress
Chiropractic adjustments as well as other chiropractic methods, such as laser therapy and massage have been shown in studies to be highly effective for stress relief as well as physical ailments.
Chiropractic Care as a Form of Preventative Care
When we talk about chiropractic care as part of a healthy lifestyle, what we are really talking about is using chiropractic care as preventative maintenance for your health.
Just like you would take your car to the shop for a tune up and to have the tires rotated, you should do the same for your body.
You know that when your vehicle is properly cared for, it is far less likely to end up on the side of the road broken down. If you make seeing a Chiropractic Doctor part of your regular health routine, your body is far less likely to develop an illness or injury. Just like the well cared for car, your body won’t be as susceptible to every problem that comes along, thus building up your immune system.
