If you want to really boost your immune system, then get regular chiropractic adjustments!  A new study shows that people who receive regular chiropractic adjustments increase their immune response by 200%. 

You have probably learned about the connection between spinal alignment, and the function of your nervous system.  But did you know that your nerves affect every cell, organ or tissue in your body?  Your nervous system feeds energy to your cells and organs.  If it doesn't work right, then your cells and organs suffer.  If it functions properly, your body has a natural power to fight off bacterial and viral invasions!

A review in the Chiropractic Journal of Australia, found that the nervous system plays a primary role in the modulation of the body’s immune response. In particular, chiropractic adjustments (which remove interference from the nervous system) were found to positively influence T and B lymphocyte numbers as well as the body’s natural killer cell numbers, antibody levels, phagocytic activity and endorphin levels.

Patients with HIV (who received upper neck spinal adjustments) experienced a 48% increase in immune cell production.  (In Touch Magazine 1999)

Patients, who had been diagnosed with a serious illness and were under long-term chiropractic care, had a 400% greater    immune competence than people who were not under chiropractic care. (From a study by Dr. Ronald Pero)

Since the nervous system regulates hormones, it can also have an impact on a person’s susceptibility to cancer, according to Ronald Pero, Ph.D., the Chief of cancer prevention research at New York’s Preventive Medicine Institute. In a research study that he oversaw in Lund, Sweden, Dr. Pero, also found a link between an increased risk for certain cancers such as lymphomas and lymphatic leukemias in people who had suffered spinal cord injuries.

In addition, he charted the immune responses of 107 patients, who were given long-term chiropractic adjustments to discover a startling 200% increase in their level of immune-competence compared to those who were not under chiropractic care.

These studies and others support what chiropractors have known for years…that chiropractic can enhance the body’s natural ability to heal itself with the potential side effect of a longer more enjoyable life!
