Chiropractic adjustments impacts the body’s immune response

Posted on by zgower

Can chiropractic affect immune function?  A study highlights key factors in how the adjustment influences immune response. 

A study measured the effects of chiropractic adjustments on indicators of the immune system. The outcomes of the study showed a single chiropractic adjustment to the spine causes a significant increase in the production of interleukin-2 (IL-2).  

Interleukin-2 is a type of protein, called a cytokine that helps increase the production and function of the body’s immune system.  Increasing levels of IL-2, signals an increase in immune system (specifically T cells and natural killer cells) to mount an attack against cancer cells.  The authors concluded that chiropractic adjustment can influence the biological immune response. 

Chiropractic care is fundamental to your body’s ability to adapt, heal and function optimally.  The study supports evidence of what chiropractor’s and people who receive regular chiropractic care have known for years; that chiropractic care helps your body stay healthy, boost natural immunity and reduce recovery time from sickness.  Chiropractic removes subluxation causing interference in the nerve system, which helps the body self regulate all systems and maintain health.  

Chiropractic restores life connection, restores normal body function, and helps improve quality of your life.

5/6 die of cancer/ heart disease.

67% of all bankruptcies are for health reasons- 75% had health insurance- Harvard 

Americans take 25 million pills an hour. – (Almanac of Chronic Disease 2008, Time Magazine) 

4.5 million in the U.S. have Alzheimers- a number that has doubled in the last 2 decades.

118 million antidepressants are prescribed each year for some 57 million American citizens who have been told they have a mental disorder. 

25,000 people are killed by hospital in Canada error each year.  200,000 people in the U.S. 

One billion worldwide are overweight. Result: High blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar rage out of control. The United States Congress call this problem “as serious a threat as global warming.” Wall Street Journal, “So Young, So Many Pills”

  • ASTHMA MEDS: 45,388,000
  • ADHD MEDS: 24,357,000
  • ANTIDEPRESSANTS: 9,614,000
  • ANTIPSYCHOTICS: 6,546,000
  • ANTIHYPERTENSIVES: 5,224,000
  • SLEEP AIDS: 307,000
  • NON INSULIN DIABETES: 424,000

People are sick, suffering and dying and they need our help.  They are disconnected from the inborn power within them to heal and function at 100%. 

“Save one person and you save the world.”

There is a God given power in your body continually controlling its existence. Chiropractic clears any interference to allow this power to freely express itself at its maximum potential.  When you’re expressing life with a clear connection to this innate intelligence, you have the best ability to be healthy, happy and successful.  

Who have you told about chiropractic? Their life depends on it.

The Incredible Benefits of Chiropractic Adjustments 

A research study performed in 2011 revealed the impact a chiropractic adjustment has on affecting the tone of the nervous system and overall health. 

The findings demonstrated that the sympathetic tone of the nervous system was inhibited, salivary amylase was decreased, regional brain metabolic changes occurred in the parts of the brain responsible for pain processing and stress reactions.  Participants had significantly reduced cortisol levels, decreased muscle tone and pain intensity following one chiropractic adjustment.

The study confirmed that a single chiropractic adjustment helped:

  • Decrease stress levels
  • Reduced the fight/ flight reflex response
  • Relaxed muscles
  • Reduced pain levels

The Ogura study proves that a chiropractic adjustment reduces the sympathetic-dominant state of the nervous system, reducing stress hormones.  Chronic stress puts the body in survival mode, and blocks the healing process. Chiropractic adjustments help clear the communication pathways in the nervous system, allowing the brain and body to restore balance, relax and function optimally.
