Immune Support in Winter: The Role of Chiropractic Care
Your immune system and nervous system are intricately connected. The spine houses the spinal cord, which acts as the communication superhighway between your brain and immune system. When misalignments (subluxations) interfere with this pathway, immune responses may weaken.
How Chiropractic Enhances Immunity:
Promotes optimal nerve flow by correcting spinal misalignments
Reduces stress, which can suppress immune function
Improves circulation of lymphatic fluid and immune cells
Chronic tension and poor posture—common in winter due to inactivity and cold—can also tax your nervous system. Chiropractic care reduces spinal tension and promotes nervous system balance, giving your body a stronger defence against illness.
Additional Winter Wellness Tips:
Get 7–9 hours of sleep
