Chiropractic Care and your Immune System
So why is it that some people get sick and others stay symptom free? Why is it that some people seem to be more susceptible to the seasonal flu, colds, and other ailments, while others breeze through the "flu season" without a sniffle? Well, the primary reason is the function and effectiveness of their immune system, or the lack thereof. Our bodies are designed with an innate intelligence that responds to exposure to various viruses and bacteria. There are defense mechanisms within our bodies that are designed to withstand the constant exposure to these various microbes. Our body's defense mechanism is controlled by our nervous system.
The reality is that viruses and bacteria have a constant presence in our environment. In fact, these little guys are critical for the normal function of our bodies. Throughout our intestinal tract we have an estimated 3 to 6 pounds of this gut flora. Pretty weird to think about that, but that's part of what keeps our system in balance.

Villa Park Chiropractic Corrects Problems Caused by Stress
STRESS is one of the big disrupters of this delicate balance. Stress comes in many ways. There is emotional stress such as a difficult job. divorce, moving, or economic strife or stress can be caused by physical conditions such as a fall or a sports injury., Even poor posture can cause stress. This is common due to more people working remotely, typically in poorly designed work stations or environments. Other issues such as chemical exposure, environmental toxins, and electromagnetic frequencies can disrupt our body's normal patterns. The result of any of these stress triggers can be increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, elevated blood sugar, decreased digestion, disrupted sleep, and SUPPRESSED IMMUNE FUNCTION. Over a short term episode, our stress response is a critical part of our survival, often referred to as our "fight or flight" response. But over longer periods, this fight or flight response wears our body, and our immune system down. If you think need help, call Dr Eric Sense DC at VIlla Park Chiropractic at 714-998-2296
The bones of our spine are called vertebra. These bones can become displaced from their normal position and movement patterns, ultimately putting pressure on our nervous system. We call this condition a SUBLUXATION. Subluxations of the spine stimulate the stress response, resulting in some or all of the previously mentioned physiological changes including suppression of our immune system. It has been proven that chiropractic adjustments are effective in reducing the subluxations, resulting in improved function of our systems, including our immune system.
Now more than ever, it's important to take a proactive approach with your healthcare. Eat better, get regular exercise, get a good night sleep, take appropriate vitamins and supplements, and have your spine and nervous system checked by your chiropractor. A healthy nervous system can be the difference of getting sick or not. If you think need help, call Dr Eric Sense DC at VIlla Park Chiropractic at 714-998-2296
