Chiropractic Care and the Flu Season

If you've never thought of going to see your Chiropractor because you were feeling "under the weather", perhaps you should. Although Chiropractic care does not directly treat the cold or flu, Chiropractic adjustments of certain regions of the spine have been shown to help stimulate the immune system. The effects have been found to be evident by numerous recent research studies, as well as statistical data collected by the World Chiropractic Alliance:

“These results are not so surprising given what we now know about the interaction between the nervous system and the immune system” stated Dr. Matthew McCoy, WCA Board member and Editor of the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research. “Through research we know that chiropractic has beneficial effects on immunoglobulins, B-lymphocytes (white blood cells), pulmonary function and other immune system processes.”

One such study, conducted by Patricia Brennan Ph.D and her team, found that when a chiropractic “manipulation” was applied to the middle back, the response of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (white blood cells) taken from blood collected 15 minutes after the manipulation was significantly higher than blood collected 15 minutes before and 30 and 45 minutes after the chiropractic procedure. This research demonstrated an “enhanced respiratory burst” following the chiropractic adjustment. This “burst” is needed for our immune cells to destroy invading viruses and bacteria.

Chiropractic adjustment have also been found to bring relief to congested sinuses and Eustacian tubes, which bear close proximity to the Cervical Spine. Simple soft tissue work when combined with chiropractic and proper nutritional support can bring great relief to patients of all ages.
