Improve Immune system

Improve Immune System Chiropractor Centerville, VA

Have you noticed you're getting sick more often than you should? Are you looking for natural ways to strengthen your body's defenses? The connection between spinal health and immune function might surprise you.

At Turner Chiropractic Clinic, we have been providing immune-supporting care for Centreville residents since 1992, helping patients naturally enhance their body's defense systems.

The Nervous System-Immune System Connection

Your immune system doesn’t work in isolation. It’s connected to your central nervous system – the master control network that regulates all bodily functions. This complex relationship means that when your nervous system is functioning optimally, your immune system can respond better to threats.

What many people don’t realize is that spinal misalignments can put tension on the central nervous system, potentially:

• Slowing down communication pathways between systems
• Reducing blood and nutrients to organs and tissues
• Putting the body in a constant state of stress
• Making you more susceptible to illness and infection
  

How Chiropractic Care Supports Immune Function

Chiropractic adjustments may help boost immune function in several ways:

• Restored Nerve Communication: By removing interference to the nervous system, chiropractic care helps restore communication between your brain and immune organs.
• Reduced Stress Response: Adjustments decrease the production of stress hormones like cortisol that can suppress immune function when chronically high.
• Improved Circulation: Better spinal alignment increases blood flow so immune cells can travel more efficiently throughout the body.
• Enhanced Respiratory Function: Research has shown chiropractic adjustments may support respiratory health – a key component of immune defense.

Research from the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics has shown chiropractic adjustments may increase production of key immune cells that help the body fight infections. One study at New York’s Preventive Medicine Institute involved 107 people with various health conditions and found those who received chiropractic care had 200% stronger immune competence than the control group.



Another study in the same journal looked at 32 people who received chiropractic adjustments for six weeks. Results showed significantly higher levels of immunoglobulin G (IgG) in those who received chiropractic care. IgG is a major antibody that plays a big role in immune response, helping to identify and neutralize pathogens like bacteria and viruses.

Our Approach

• Personalised Assessment: We start with a full health and spine assessment. By identifying areas of stress or misalignment we can determine how to boost immune system function through targeted adjustments.
• Gentle Spinal Adjustments: Using low force, precise techniques we realign the spine to release nerve pressure. Many patients experience more well being and less aches and pains as their nervous system settles back into balance.
• Holistic Guidance: In addition to adjustments we may recommend lifestyle changes – better hydration, moderate exercise, stress management and quality sleep – to support immune health. Chiropractic care works best when combined with healthy habits.
• Ongoing Monitoring: Immune function isn’t static it’s an evolving system influenced by stress levels and daily routines. With regular check ins we can fine tune your treatment plan to keep your spine and nervous system running optimally.
