Chances are if you are in the U.S., you or someone close to you is battling the flu.  The U.S. Centers for Disease Control just announced the flu has now spread to 43 states, all experiencing either high or widespread flu activity. Are you prepared for the flu season?

Chiropractic care may be your answer to a clean bill of health this season and has been shown in hundreds of research articles to improve the function of the body’s immune system. If your immune system is working at 100%, especially because you get the benefits of chiropractic care, versus people who don’t use chiropractic, you have greater ability to be healthy and not suffer from as many cold’s and/or flu as the general population does.

Chiropractic care can give your immune system a boost with a spinal adjustment and can help raise your natural resistance to disease by removing a serious interference to your proper body function — Vertebral Subluxations.

According to the World Chiropractic Alliance, spinal adjustments can help your immune system function better. An adjustment by a Doctor of Chiropractic corrects vertebral subluxations, which can cause interference of the nervous system. When an adjustment is performed, it releases pressure on the nerves and allows more efficient interaction between your body’s nervous system and immune system. When your immune system is healthy it is better prepared to prevent or combat the flu.

Regular chiropractic care is beneficial to the body. Preventing the flu is just one of the many positive side effects of regular chiropractic maintenance. Eating right, exercising, and having a healthy body are all important issues in combating the flu as well.
