BOOSTING YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE

Most people think vitamins and a good diet are the best way to boost the immune system, but another great regimen to add is chiropractic care. Getting regular adjustments can help people’s bodies stay in alignment, which helps the nervous system communicate well with the rest of the body. Chiropractic care focuses on the spine and when the spine is in alignment, that helps the rest of the body. This will help fight off infections and help keep the immune system running at its best to prevent sickness. If you are looking to boost your immune system, get in touch with Thrive Family Chiropractic in Urbandale.

​Benefits to your Immune System

Chiropractic care focuses on the structure of the body, specifically the spine. Adjustments can not only relieve pain, but can be an important step to maintaining good health by improving the immune system. Dr. Shane Hoffman does this by removing any pressure on the nerves so that the brain can communicate with the rest of the body without any interference. This helps the body, especially the immune system, to continue to function properly to fight off infections and heal from illnesses faster.

​Why Is a Strong Immune System Important?

​The immune system protects the body from outside germs such as bacteria, toxins, and viruses. The better the immune system is working, the stronger it can fight off these invaders. This will help with allergies and colds, but it’s exceptionally important when the body gets hit with stronger infections or viruses. The better the immune system is working, the better it can protect the body. For example, COVID, flu, HIV, and serious cardiovascular conditions require a strong immune system to defend the body.

Benefits for Adults and Children

Chiropractic care is not just for adults. In fact, there are many benefits for children, including infants, to receiving care from a chiropractor. Regular visits to the chiropractor can help children and infants boost their immune systems to help prevent future problems and trips to the doctor. Pediatric chiropractic care can also help with anxiety, ADD, ADHD, asthma, allergies, bedwetting, colic, and more. Getting any chronic issues under control will also help a child’s immune system so that when they get sick from germs at school or at daycare, their bodies are ready to fight off the sickness and keep the child healthy. Adults can also suffer from many chronic issues that can be helped with chiropractic care. Regular adjustments help take pressure off of the central nervous system and improve the overall function of the immune system and the entire body.

If you or your child needs a boost to your immune systems or if you have ongoing medical issues that need help, consider chiropractic care from Dr. Shane Hoffman of Thrive Family Chiropractic.
