How Chiropractic Adjustments May Support Immune Health

How can a chiropractor help support your immune system?

While chiropractic care doesn’t “treat” the immune system directly, clinical studies suggest that it can contribute to improved immune function by:

• Reducing Nervous System Stress: Chronic stress weakens the immune response. Chiropractic care helps reduce physical and neurological stress, allowing your body to recover and adapt better.
• Promoting Better Sleep: Good sleep is essential for immune resilience. Many patients report improved sleep quality after chiropractic adjustments.
• Encouraging Healthy Circulation: When your nervous system is functioning properly, your body can better regulate blood flow, which supports immune cell transport.
• Supporting a Balanced Inflammatory Response: The nervous system plays a big role in how your body manages inflammation. Chiropractic care may help your body maintain a healthy inflammatory balance, an important part of immune defense.

The Spine, Nervous System, and Immune Function

Do you feel like your immune system isn’t as responsive as it used to be?

When you think of chiropractic care, your mind probably goes straight to back pain relief or better posture. But did you know that your spine and nervous system also play a vital role in how your immune system functions? At Pivotal Chiropractic, the focus is on optimizing the body's natural ability to heal and protect itself—without drugs or surgery. Supporting immune health is one important piece of that puzzle.

Your nervous system is the master control center of your body. It communicates with every cell, organ, and system—including your immune system—through the spinal cord and its network of nerves. If spinal misalignments interfere with this communication, your body may struggle to respond efficiently to infections, inflammation, or chronic stress.

Specific structural chiropractors (like Dr. Gessert) focus on finding and correcting these misalignments. By improving spinal alignment and removing nerve obstruction, chiropractic adjustments help restore clear communication between the brain and body. This can lead to better overall health, including a more responsive immune system.
