The common cold and flu are common at this time of the year. Chiropractic helps boost your immune system and fight off the common cold and flu better than without Chiropractic.
The common cold and flue are characterized by the stuffy nose and head, scratchy throat, water eyes, stuffed sinuses and congestion and possibly fever in the case of the flu. But why does this happen? Just like a plant micro-organisms need the proper environment to grow and spread. Our bodies are warm, have plenty of fluid and a weakened immune system they can evade.
Your natural immunity is the only reason these infections go away. Your immune system attacks and neutralizes microorganisms that invade your body. Your immune system accepts queues from your nerve system, learning where to go and help the body. This field of study is called neural immunology.
Chiropractic strengthens your body from the inside out. Each adjustment “turns on the power” within your nerve system. Your nerve system is like an electrical system, touching every single cell, tissue, muscle and organ of your body, including immune cells.
Many families of our own office, like the Distels of Avon, CT have expressed how their kids no longer miss days of school due to sickness or disease. When they do “catch a cold” it’s often over within 24-48 hours (1-2 days), rather than the 7 – 10 days popularized by the medical media.
While Chiropractic won’t prevent you from ever having another cold again, by strengthening your immune system with regular Chiropractic care, you can certainly limit your exposure while strengthening your body’s ability to ward off sickness and disease.
To speak with families who have utilized Chiropractic for this purpose and experienced exactly what we are writing about, please cal the office. We have multiple people willing to sit down and talk with you about what we do and how Chiropractic has helped them and their families lead healthier lives.
