Chiropractic and Your Immune System

Many studies have been done linking chiropractic care, a healthy nervous system and proper immune system function. Many attempts to control germs through the use of drugs (antibiotics) have not only failed in their application, but instead fostered the development of antibiotic resistant micro-organisms or “superbugs.”

Because every body system, including the nervous system, is under the control and coordination of the nervous system, it should come as no surprise that regular chiropractic care can keep both you and your immune system in top working order.
