My spine helps my Immune System?

Chiropractic adjustments enhance the function of your nerve system. Each adjustment builds on the one before as you build positive health momentum.

Part of being healthy is having a vigorous immune system. While once thought to be separate, we now know that immune cells float through our blood stream making contact from time to time with nerve endings to get information about where to go and what germs to kill.

For these cells to have good information and effectively kill invading cells, repair damaged or muted cells, and develop a quick response for future infections the nerve signals they respond to must be strong and clear.

The impact of chiropractic on the immune system can hardly be overstated. Clinical and research based improvements in immune function range from decreased incidence and severity of childhood symptoms (ear infections, allergies, etc.) to increase in T cell counts of people with AIDS.

Silent Miracles

Some of the most exciting stories however, are the silent miracles we see on a daily basis.

Silent Miracles are the individuals and families that choose to receive regular chiropractic care on an on-going basis. These are the folks that make it a point to get their spine adjusted to improve the overall function and quality of their lives.

They're "Miracles" because they know that through regular chiropractic adjustment they are functioning at a higher level and expressing themselves more fully in Life. They are living as we are meant to live - in a vibrant life experience.

These people are often asked, "Why are you still seeing a chiropractor? You seem so healthy...?"

The answer is simple. They have caught, or understand, the message of chiropractic. They're not getting adjusted to fix something that is wrong with them. They are getting adjusted to assist something that is right with them.

They do not have dramatic and heroic stories of how their health was on the brink or collapse and after a fateful visit to a chiropractor their life changed for the better. They get to live the Daily Miracle of Health.
