Most people think about getting an adjustment when they have back or neck pain, but have you thought about seeing your chiropractor to help you fight off a cold virus or the flu?

Instead of treating cold or flu symptoms with medications that can have deleterious side effects, chiropractic offers a healthy, safe alternative. Better yet, regular adjustments can stimulate the immune system to fend off illness and keep you in good health.

To stimulate the immune response, a chiropractor will adjust the mid back. There is a part of the nervous system on either side of the thoracic spine called the sympathetic nervous system which controls your fight-or-flight response as well as your immune response. The immune response is responsible for the release of antibodies and white blood cells that fight off infections in the body.

If you are feeling under the weather—or better yet, before you are feeling under the weather—visit your chiropractor for an immune-boosting adjustment.

Yours in health,
