Can Chiropractic Help keep me healthy?

With flu season and this beloved E-coli outbreak here in Hastings, I thought it would be good to explain just a little more about how important regular chiropractic care can be.

The nervous system and immune system are hardwired and work together to create optimal responses for the body to adapt and heal appropriately. Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to boost the coordinated responses of the nervous system and immune system.

One of the most important studies showing the positive effect chiropractic care can have on the immune system and general health was performed by Ronald Pero, Ph.D., chief of cancer prevention research at New York’s Preventive Medicine Institute and professor of medicine at New York University. Dr. Pero measured the immune systems of people under chiropractic care as compared to those in the general population and those with cancer and other serious diseases.

In his initial three-year study of 107 individuals who had been under chiropractic care for five years or more, the chiropractic patients were found to have a 200% greater immune competence than people who had not received chiropractic care, and 400% greater immune competence than people with cancer and other serious diseases.

The immune system superiority of those under chiropractic care did not diminish with age. Dr. Pero stated:

“When applied in a clinical framework, I have never seen a group other than this chiropractic group to experience a 200% increase over the normal patients. This is why it is so dramatically important. We have never seen such a positive improvement in a group”

And now research has explained why this happens. When a chiropractor adjusts a subluxation, signals reach the brain and shut down the bodies stress response, thus returning the body to a more normal state.

It should be pointed out that the people in this study were under regular chiropractic care, not pain relief type care. We at Unlimited Chiropractic have created a membership practice which allows for weekly chiropractic checks/adjustments for a low monthly fee. We don't take appointments to save time, no contracts or hidden fees either. And our first visit is $20 to try us out and see for yourself why we are becoming the premier choice for chiropractic in the SE metro and beyond.
