Many people think chiropractic care is only good for body aches and pains. But did you know chiropractic can help improve overall body function, including your immune system. How can that be? Well, every cell, organ and tissue in the body depends on the nervous system to convey and relay important information. When there’s abnormal pressure placed in this area, it can affect the way it functions. One of the most vulnerable and common areas for pressure to be placed in the nervous system is at the brainstem. This is because the atlas (C1) bone, the least stable bone in the spine, sits directly below it. This bone is very vulnerable to misaligning due to different trauma and/or injuries we face throughout life.
When the atlas (C1) misaligns and places pressure, not only does it affect the way the brainstem functions but all the connecting cells, organs and tissues function as well. When the body has this excess stress, they have to work extra hard to function properly. The need for this excess energy can rob it from other bodily functions such as your immune system.
When the body is in alignment, it functions with ease. As a result, you experience less distress and are able to adapt to stress in your life more effectively. This in turn increases your immune function which is your defense against abnormal cell growth and external pathogens that seek the opportunity to grow in DIS-eased tissue.
