Can Chiropractic Help Your Immune System?

The idea that chiropractic care is solely for treating back and neck pain is one we hear frequently. But, for some time now, more and more people are beginning to understand all the ways that chiropractic can improve overall health and wellness. For many of our patients, treatment isn’t just for a specific ailment, but to promote a general sense of well-being. Here’s how chiropractic can help you feel well and stay well.

The Immune System and Nervous System Connection

The immune system helps keep your body well. It is your body’s natural defense system against illness. When bacteria and germs enter the body, the immune system responds immediately and does its very best to rid the body of the foreign object. So, where does your nervous system come in to play? The nervous system is your body’s communication center. If any communication is happening in the body, your nervous system is responsible. So when a foreign body enters your body, your nervous system has to tell your immune system to get to work. Without a strong nervous system, your immune system won’t function optimally.

Your Nervous System and Spine

You may be wondering how this links with chiropractic care. Well, your extremely important nervous system includes your spine. In fact, your spine makes up a large portion of your nervous system and helps carry those messages throughout your body. If your spine is in poor health, your nervous system and communication will suffer. That causes important functions like the immune system to suffer as well. At Williamsburg Chiropractic, we focus on reducing and alleviating joint dysfunction in the spine, which enhances the health and function of the spine, the nervous system, and the immune system.
