Chiropractic Care for Illness: How It Works

By Genevieve Cunningham

Many people use chiropractic care as a means for diminishing or eliminating back pain. While this is a great reason to get care, it’s not the only reason to seek out professional help. As more people are opting to add this sort of natural care to their lives, more people are discovering that it’s also a great way to boost overall health and fight off illness. To understand how this works, take a look at how regular care from a trusted chiropractic professional can boost your health and leave you feeling better than ever.

Chiropractors Get Your Spine Healthy

Chiropractors aren’t going to take a look at your throat or hand over a prescription for antibiotics. They are going to take a look at your spine and look for problem areas where joint restriction or dysfunction are occurring. If they find such areas, they’ll use manual spinal manipulation to place the spine back into proper working order and leave it in much better health than when you walked through the clinic doors.

The Spine Affects the Immune System

So what does this have to do with fighting illness? Probably a lot more than you think. The spine is linked to the body’s central nervous system. This system is responsible for communication in the body. It sends and receives messages to and from the brain to various other systems and nerve centers in the body. This means that when the central nervous system is in poor health, or any part of it (such as the spine) is working inefficiently, the communication in the body suffers, and the function of these various systems suffers as well.  This includes the all-important immune system, which is crucial in your quest for staying healthy.

The Immune System Fights Illness

If the poor health of the spine affects the health of the immune system, you’re undoubtedly going to get sick more often. Why? Because the immune system is the body’s natural defense against foreign bodies such as germs. Without a strong defense, these germs make it into your body and grow until it causes you to be ill. By keeping the spine strong, you’re also keeping the immune system strong, and therefore keeping those pesky germs out of your body.
