Immune Function and Chiropractic

By: Dr. Alan Rosenthal

People are tuned into the fact that a strong immune system is crucial to living a long and healthy life. Our health environment constantly forces us to think of how important our immune system is to live.

Building a healthier immune system naturally is much better for your health than using drugs. Medications, although extremely useful in crises care, can interfere with the body’s natural methods of healing had can even give your immune system a harder time.

Building Immunity through Chiropractic

More and more research shows that the control of immune function is through your nervous system. A recent research paper demonstrates how Chiropractic wellness care of certain areas of the spine increases serum immunoglobin M levels, an important part of immune function.

The author of the paper stated that immune organs and tissues receive direct control from the sympathetic nervous system and that the immune system has specific receptors to receive this vital information.

The spleen (another important immune organ) receives nerve control from the mid-area of the spine (T6-T10). Participants in the research that had spinal adjustments in this region had a statistically significant increase in serum immunogloblin M levels than did the control group. The research also showed that these levels were still increased several days after the adjustments.

Chiropractic and You!

Your body has a natural way of increasing the function of your immune system so that you will be more capable of fighting different types of bacteria, viruses and other diseases.

We have known for quite some time that Chiropractic patients get less colds and flus. They get sick less often than the average person, and there is evidence that they get cancer less often.

Put quite simply: What do you want in your life? Do you want a body that is built strong naturally, so that it can thrive with vitality, energy and vibrancy throughout life; or a body that is constantly compromised? If compromised, your ability to enjoy life will be less. You may use different medications frequently, and eventually the strength of your body will dwindle to end life earlier.
