Cold and flu season is officially upon us. Though we may see lower cases as we practice social distancing, there’s still the chance of getting sick. Fortunately, chiropractic is a natural and effective treatment that can help improve your immune system. Here’s how chiropractic care may be able to help you stay healthy.
Cold and Flu 101
The cold and flu are both viruses, making them incredibly difficult to stop. Viruses don’t work the same way that other bacterias do. Viruses don’t respond to antibiotics and only respond to antivirals in a very specific window of time. The best option is to avoid getting sick to begin with. The good news is that most people are now practicing measures to prevent illness including avoiding sick people, washing hands regularly, wearing masks, and avoiding crowded spaces. Another measure is to boost your immune system, which is where chiropractic care comes in.
How Chiropractic Can Help
Chiropractic care may be able to help prevent illness because the spine plays a major role in the function of the immune system. The spine is part of the central nervous system (CNS) which communicates with the immune system so it can work efficiently. When the spine is in poor health, that communication is broken and the immune system suffers. When the spine is healthy, the CNS is too, and the immune system follows suit. The healthier your spine, the healthier your immunities, and the better your body will be able to fight off illnesses
