Chiropractic & Immune Health: Staying Strong Through Flu Season

Hey there, it’s Dr. Zimmerman from Bayer Chiropractic, and today we’re talking about a question we get a lot this time of year. Can chiropractic care actually help boost your immune system? Now, to be clear, chiropractic isn’t a cure for colds or the flu. But what we do focus on is the nervous system, and that’s the same system that communicates with your immune system.

When your spine is out of alignment, it can interfere with nerve signals that help regulate immune function. When we make an adjustment, we’re not just helping reduce pain or improve mobility, we’re removing interference in the nervous system so your body can function at its best, and that includes how your immune system responds to stress.

Illness and inflammation, especially in the winter when we’re exposed to more viruses and run down by the cold. Stress and lack of sunlight. It’s even more important to support the body’s natural defenses. Chiropractic adjustments combined with good habits like staying hydrated, getting enough sleep.

Managing stress and eating whole foods can help you stay strong all season long. So if you’re feeling run down or just wanna give your body an extra edge, schedule a visit with us. Bear Chiropractic is here to support your health year round. Give us a call at chiropractic or visit chio grand rapids.com.

Let’s keep your body aligned and your immune system strong.
