How Your Spine Affects Immune Function
Your immune system is deeply connected to your nervous system, which controls every function in your body—including how your body detects and fights off illness. That's why spinal health plays a crucial role in overall immunity.
When the spine is misaligned (subluxated), it can:
- Disrupt nerve signals to the immune system
- Contribute to chronic inflammation
- Increase cortisol (stress hormone) levels
- Interfere with lymphatic drainage and detox
- Weaken your body's natural ability to heal
Think of it like static on a phone line between your brain and immune cells. Chiropractic care helps clear that signal so your body can communicate and respond effectively.
Chiropractic Care: Your Seasonal Wellness Ally
At SISU Spine & Rehab, we take a holistic, preventive approach—helping you stay ahead of seasonal stress before it affects your health.
Here's how we support your immune system:
1. Spinal Adjustments to Remove Nerve Interference
Chiropractic adjustments reset the nervous system, improving communication between your brain and immune organs (such as the thymus, spleen, and lymph nodes).
2. Stress Relief
Stress weakens immunity. Our adjustments calm your nervous system and reduce muscle tension, helping lower cortisol and supporting your body's ability to rest, digest, and repair.
3. Enhanced Circulation and Lymphatic Flow
Good spinal mobility promotes blood flow and lymphatic drainage, helping remove toxins and distribute immune cells throughout your body.
4. Wellness Coaching
We'll guide you with practical tips on posture, sleep, hydration, and breathing—simple daily habits that boost immune resilience.
"Since starting care at SISU, I've noticed I don't get sick nearly as often. When I do, I bounce back quicker. I used to catch every cold going around—I feel more resilient now."— Matt S., Springboro
