Stay Strong, Stay Healthy at any Age Part 4:  How your brain/nervous system CONTROLS your immune system - Dr. Jason Jones Elizabeth City NC, Chiropractor

Do you always suffer flu or cold? Is it getting on your nerves? Do you sometimes feel that’s normal? Well, the truth is that the fact that some people get sick doesn’t mean everybody has to. Your ability to fight infection or ward of disease is strongly dependent on an important system in the body called the “Immune System.”

The interesting part is that your brain/nervous system has a huge control over your immune system. Over the past 20 years, there has been much research conducted on the human immune system, and findings have clearly shown that there is a correlation between your nervous system and your state of immunity.

Little wonder, many of our patients at our chiropractic office in Elizabeth City, NC, who come in with sore throats, colds, stomach viruses and sinus congestion often report an accelerated recovery after our chiropractic adjustment.

Many of them now notice that when their co-workers are all catching flu and cold, they are not. Others notice that they are get sick less frequently than before.

What does this mean? It means that chiropractic correction of the subluxation has a strong effect in improving immune responses of the body. This chiropractic adjustment actually reduces nerve interference.

So, let’s discuss better the correlation between your nervous system and immune system.

How your brain controls your immune system

The concept that the brain controls the activity in the immune system is derived from the theory of stress.

Research on the inter-relationships between the central nervous system and the brain has shown that there’s a vast network of communication pathways between the two systems.

The nervous system and immune system interact with each other more than you think. Both systems release messenger molecules that communicates with each other and other body organs.

The nervous system collects information from the entire body and sends it to the brain and this influences receptors in the immune system.

The brain uses the nerve cells to communicate with the immune system and trigger an immune response. The immune system can also send a trigger to the brain to notify if of any foreign, unwanted body. The brain then tells the nervous system to react appropriately.

Many studies have shown increase levels of antibodies in the immune system after Chiropractic adjustments. And that’s where a chiropractic care comes to play. Little wonder our patients who were sick with sore throat, colds, and sinus congestion always report accelerated recoveries after some chiropractic adjustments.

To keep it simple, the goal of a chiropractic care is to remove every interference in the nervous system- including stress- that may compromise your immune system. This helps to improve your natural day-to-day function. This is possible because the brain and nervous system controls the functions of your entire body, including your nervous system.

Chiropractic adjustments reduce stress on the nervous system, improving its communication with the rest of the body.
