Your nervous system and immune system are hardwired. That means they work together. Here's some research that I think you'll find interesting if you CARE the least little bit about your health and how you feel.

In 1975, Ronald Pero, Ph.D., chief of Cancer Prevention Research at New York's Preventive Medicine Institute and professor in Environmental Health at New York University, measured 107 individuals who had received long-term Chiropractic care.

The results were outstanding and proves something most people never know. The chiropractic patients (the people who received regular chiropractic adjustments) were shown to have a 200% greater immune competence than people who had NOT received chiropractic care, and a 400% greater immune competence than people with cancer or serious diseases. IT WORKS!

Your nervous system and your immune system work together to create optimal responses for the body - so it can adapt and heal appropriately. If you're not checked regularly, at the office, this can't happen. Nerve irritation (subluxations) are stressful to your body and can cause abnormal changes that lead to a compromised immune response. Then you can get sick.

This means you can't be healthy if you're not checked and aligned. Doesn't have anything to do with symptoms. "A person can feel great today, and die tomorrow." What's important is Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to boost the coordinated responses of the nervous system and the immune system. That means you heal faster and you stay healthier.

Now I've said this before, but I want to say this again. Subluxation is the term for misalignments in your spine. These misalignments cause irritation of your nerves which affect various organs and systems of your body. If you want to boost your immune system, and stay healthy like the people did in Dr. Pero's study, get adjusted.
