The Connection Between Chiropractic & Your Immune System

Boost Your Body’s Natural Defense with Chiropractic Care
Your immune system is your body’s first line of defense against illness, and maintaining a strong immune response is essential for overall health. But did you know that chiropractic care plays a vital role in supporting your immune function?
At Regional Health Center, we focus on whole-body wellness, ensuring your spine and nervous system are in alignment to keep your immune system working optimally. This week, we’re diving into how chiropractic care influences immunity and what steps you can take to strengthen your body’s natural defenses.

How Your Spine Affects Your Immune SystemYour immune system and nervous system are intricately connected. The nervous system controls every function in your body—including immune responses—by regulating communication between the brain and the rest of the body.
When spinal misalignments (subluxations) occur, they can interfere with nerve signals, creating stress and dysfunction in the immune system. Chiropractic adjustments help remove these interferences, allowing the body to function at its best.
Research-Backed Benefits of Chiropractic & ImmunityScientific studies have shown that chiropractic adjustments can enhance immune function:

• 🦠 A study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that chiropractic adjustments boost white blood cell count, which is crucial for fighting infections. (1)
• 🧠 Another study highlighted how reducing spinal misalignments can lower cortisol levels, reducing chronic stress, which weakens immunity. (2)
• 💪 Research from the University of Lund in Sweden found that chiropractic patients had a 200% greater immune competence than those who did not receive care. (3)

Simply put, when your spine is aligned, your nervous system functions optimally, reducing stress on your immune system and allowing it to protect you more effectively.

Testimonial: How Chiropractic Helped Boost Immunity"Since starting chiropractic care, I’ve noticed that I don’t get sick as often, and when I do, I recover much faster. My seasonal allergies have also improved, and I just feel better overall!" – Sarah M.
Sarah’s experience is not uncommon. Many of our patients report fewer colds, improved energy levels, and better overall well-being after consistent chiropractic care.
