The impact of Chiropractic on the Immune System

The main goal of a Chiropractic adjustment is to remove interference from the nervous system so your body can work better, and it works better in many ways!

A study from the National College of Chiropractic in Lombard, Illinois, found that disease-fighting white blood cell counts were 147% higher minutes after a chiropractic adjustment. Another study investigated the immune response in HIV-positive patients under chiropractic care. After six months, the group receiving chiropractic adjustments showed a 48 percent increase in white blood cell (CD4) counts. .

So it only makes sense to keep up with your regular schedule of Chiropractic appointments and if possible, to get adjusted when you are not feeling well.
