I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.  This weekend not only gives thanks to our troops for all they do for our country, but it also entails swimming, boating, driving long trips, eating a lot, late nights, dancing and much more.  I had a very stressful week last week with some family issues, then we had to drive 5 hours to Atlanta and back, boating and lifting my precious daughter all day.  My back was Out!  No, not painful, but it was out of alignment.

Many people suffer from headaches, allergies, sleep issues, bowel problems, infertility and don't realize it could be from their back being out of alignment.  Chiropractic care is not just for those in a major accident or a sports injury. 

It is about Prevention!

Research has shown that chiropractic care boosts the immune system. Chiropractic adjustments relieve stress from the nerve system, which is a critical link and has governing role over the immune system.
Consider the following:
  • Spinal lesions, similar to vertebral subluxation complexes caused by misalignments, are associated with exaggerated sympathetic activity, which releases immune regulatory cells into the blood circulation and alters immune function. The nervous system has a direct effect on the immune system due to the nerve supply to the important immune system organs. 1, 2, 3
  • White blood cells, which eat and destroy bad cells, are enhanced through chiropractic care. 4
  • HIV positive patients adjusted over a 6-month period showed a 48% increase in CD4 cells, an important immune system component. 5
  • The chief of cancer prevention at New York’s Preventative Medicine Institute found that people who received regular chiropractic care over a five-year period had a 200% greater immune competence than those who had not received chiropractic care. The chiropractic group showed a 400% greater immune competence than people with cancer and other serious diseases. 6
Chiropractic care for maintenance of a strong immune system should be a standard regimen for everyone. Typically, patients on a maintenance schedule will be able to hold their chiropractic adjustments from 1-3 weeks, depending on stress levels. However, in times of immune system suppression, a patient can have their spine examined for misalignments several times per day to ensure their nerve systems are free of interference. Wellness chiropractors and Maximized Living doctors use several objective technologies to check for diminished nerve supply, the presence or absence of subluxations, and how well (and how long) their patients are holding their adjustments. - www.maximizedliving.com

Subluxations put pressure on the nerves and keep the nervous system from functioning properly.  By getting an adjustment and aligning the spine, it takes away the nerve interference.  Clearing the way for uninterrupted communication from your nerves to your brain.  This results in a strong immune system.

I went and had an adjustment today and I love how I feel after.  My hips feel square, my upper back has less soreness and my jaw is back in place which stops my headaches. 

Check out a Chiropractor in your local area.  I love the techniques from Life University in Georgia.  So I try to find a Chiropractor who graduated from Life. 

Lets get cracking.  :-)
