Chiropractic Care and the Immune System

Our lifestyle plays a huge role in whether or not we stay healthy on a consistent basis, and it can be hard to bring the right nutrients into your daily eating regime to assure you are boosting your immune system. Our immune system is a vital part of us staying healthy, as well as our body being able to function optimally.

What is the role of our immune system?

The main role of our immune system is to protect and fight against infectious organisms, and keep them from entering our bodies. It is made up of proteins, tissues, organs and white blood cells which work together to keep us healthy.

Problems with immune system

While our bodies are protected by our immune system, sometimes this system may have issues and not work properly. A few causes include:

• Autoimmune disorders
• Cancer
• Immunodeficiency disorder
• Allergic Disorder

Treatment for Immune System Complications

There are a variety of treatments available for those suffering from complications within the immune system. With the disorders listed above, there are a variety of medications that may be available to aid in the various symptoms that may be associated with each. There is also an alternative form of treatment for those that are looking for a non-invasive and natural way to treat their immune system.

Chiropractic Treatment

While many may associate chiropractic treatment with those that are suffering from neck or back pain, know that there are many more benefits. Chiropractic care aides in the overall health of patients and although adjustments of the spine help in relieving the pain of those suffering from back and neck discomfort, these adjustments also help our immune system. Our immune system is directly connected to our spine and when not aligned, it may throw your entire system off track. Thus, decreasing the responsivity.

One of the main causes of immune system problems comes from subluxations which is an compression of nerve pathways. Chiropractors may use a variety of spinal manipulation to help relieve this compression and in turn may boost your immune system.
