The Spine-Immune System Connection: What Most People Miss
Your immune system doesn't work alone—it's part of a complex network connected to your nervous system, which is housed in your spine. When your spine is out of alignment, it can disrupt nervous system function, which may affect your immune system's balance.
Chronic misalignments, also known as subluxations, may:
- Disrupt communication between your brain and body
- Lead to body-wide inflammation
- Raise stress and cortisol levels
- Slow down healing
- Weaken immune response
When your body constantly works to offset these stressors, your immune system may not perform optimally.
How Chiropractic Care Helps Support Your Immune System
At SISU Spine & Rehab, we go beyond pain relief—we aim to optimize your body's performance, including its ability to fight illness and manage stress.
1. Restoring Nervous System Balance
Gentle spinal adjustments help clear nervous system interference, enabling better communication with your immune system.
2. Reducing Inflammation
By improving spinal alignment and joint mobility, chiropractic care helps regulate your body's inflammatory responses—a key factor in immune function.
3. Improving Sleep and Stress Response
Proper alignment and reduced physical tension promote deeper sleep, lower stress hormones, and better resistance to everyday viruses, fatigue, and brain fog.
"I started seeing Dr. Serbinski for back pain, but over time, I noticed I wasn't getting sick as often. I felt more energized and balanced, especially during cold season. It was a game-changer."— Natalie H., Springboro
