Do you see a CBP Chiropractor? Have you noticed that you are sick less than you have been in the past? Ever wondered why? It’s because regular adjustments help to boost your immune system.

Why is that?

Getting adjusted helps to increase all body functions, all body systems, and that includes your immune system. Any time you get an adjustment, white blood cells are released into your bloodstream. White blood cells help to fight bacteria, infection, and stress in the body, so it’s very important that you keep your immune system strong and one of the best ways of doing it is to get regular spinal adjustments.

I’ve also noticed I have experienced fewer allergies.

This will also help with seasonal allergies, which is an overstimulation of the immune system to a stimulus. If you are having seasonal allergies it is usually because you have an over-reaction of your immune system. The idea of getting adjusted regularly will help your immune system to work more properly so that it can handle an allergic stimulus a lot better than without.

How do adjustments work, exactly?

Adjustments help your nerves have less pressure on them. Your spinal nerves come from your spinal cord which is encased in your spine itself, in the bones. So if you have pressure from a misalignment on your spine it’s going to prohibit your nerves from working at 100% and that’s going to make your immune system work twice as hard and it will affect your body’s function. If you are taking care of your nervous system all other systems will function better and you will be sick less and experience fewer allergies to name some of the benefits.

Can I also use holistic methods to prevent sickness and allergies in addition to getting adjusted?

There are many natural remedies for sickness and allergies as long as you make it a priority to get adjusted regularly. Herbal teas can help with allergic reactions as well as herbal elixirs such as elderberry syrup, which is antiviral and high in antioxidants. No matter what you do make sure that you schedule an extra appointment with your CBP Chiropractor when you feel a bit run down, you’ll be surprised by the extra immune boost you’ll get from it.
