Chiropractic Adjustments Help Boost Your Immune System | Jacksonville Chiropractic and Acupuncture

This holiday season, you may be feeling a little more stressed than usual. Add supply chain shortages, cold weather, and a pandemic, and it’s easy to become overwhelmed.

At Jacksonville Chiropractic and Acupuncture, we concentrate on reducing your aches, pains, and stress, to help your body achieve total wellness. I’m Dr. Jeremiah Carlson. I want to explain how important a strong immune system is and how chiropractic adjustments help.

What Are Chiropractic Adjustments?

To understand what chiropractic adjustments are, it is useful to know what chiropractic care providers do. Chiropractic doctors specialize in the musculoskeletal system. We diagnose and treat disorders of the spine, nerves, joints, and muscles to return the body to a state of wellness.

Chiropractic adjustments involve spinal joint manipulation by using the hands or using small instruments. Joints of the spine are gently returned to alignment.

Chiropractic adjustments provide relief for pinched nerves, headaches, migraines, backaches, and numerous other conditions. Chiropractic adjustments also improve immune system function.

Why Is It Important to Have a Strong Immune System?

The role of your immune system is to stop or reduce infection in the body. Without a strong, powerfully functioning immune system, the body is vulnerable to invaders like bacteria, viruses, and other germs. The immune system shields organs from damage caused by diseases.

When the immune system does not function properly, you may notice feeling overly tired or run-down. If you have a weak immune system, you will be vulnerable to catching frequent colds, the flu, or far more serious conditions. The body cannot fight off infections as it should.

There are several things you can do to keep your immune system strong. Eating healthfully, even throughout the holidays, gives your body the nutrients necessary to function well. Exercise and activity are important for your health. Adequate rest is essential to helping your immune system.

How Do Chiropractic Adjustments Help Boost Your Immune System?

Chiropractic adjustments also help the immune system function at its best. At Jacksonville Chiropractic and Acupuncture, chiropractic adjustments maximize patient wellness by supporting complete spinal health. If the vertebrae of the spine are out of alignment, the body cannot function as it should. The immune system is impacted.

After chiropractic adjustments, the body produces elevated levels of key components necessary to boosting the immune system. Chiropractic manipulations also reduce inflammation. Chronic inflammation causes the immune system to respond as if under continual attack, so reducing inflammation helps the immune system function properly.

Chiropractic Adjustments Help Your Immune System

Chiropractic adjustments help the body function normally, reduce inflammation, keep the spine aligned and in good health, and keep your immune system strong.
