The immune system has an incredible ability to heal and keep us healthy. It protects you moment by moment, helping to destroy harmful invaders inside the body, such as bacteria, dirt, dead cells, and viruses. Other natural defenses, like fevers and swelling, help stop infections and bring healing to injured areas and cells, ensuring optimal immune health.

However, an unhealthy immune system can either overreact, as in allergy treatment or hypersensitivity disorders or underreact, as in immune system disorders like immune deficiencies. Common conditions affected by poor immune response include allergies, asthma, arthritis, autism, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Even our emotions can significantly impact our immune system.

Connections with others are essential to nourishing the immune system, as healthy relationships can support our immune response and overall well-being. But the most crucial connection is within ourselves. The nervous system function is key to regulating and empowering the immune system. When the nervous system isn't functioning at 100%, the immune system cannot work optimally. Spinal misalignment or subluxation in the spine creates nerve stress that impairs communication between the brain and immune system, weakening the body's defenses.

At Vertical Chiropractic in Sarasota, a Gonstead chiropractor is uniquely trained to locate and correct spinal misalignments, or subluxations, that can inhibit immune function. These spinal misalignments not only cause pain relief issues but also block the vital nerve communication that controls the body’s ability to heal and protect itself.

Compressed nerve pathways caused by spinal misalignment can weaken your body’s natural ability to fight diseases and maintain disease prevention. Research shows that chiropractic care can relieve pain and stress relief, correct spinal misalignments, and improve nerve function. This inside-out approach to healing allows your immune system to function at its best, supporting natural healing and keeping you healthy.

If you're looking to boost your immune system naturally, chiropractic care might be the solution you've been searching for.
