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.


Support Your Health Goals with an Ann Arbor Chiropractor


At Pivotal Chiropractic, care is always individualized. Dr. Gessert takes the time to understand the full picture of your health, not just your symptoms. 

If you’ve been feeling run down, stressed, or like your immune system just isn’t as strong as it could be, consider getting your spine checked. A properly functioning nervous system is essential for whole-body health.
