The spine is our lifeline. Most people do not get their first spinal check up until age 47. Imagine what your teeth would like if you did not get your first dental check up until age 47!

This is a little scary! We often make sure our yearly check ups are in place. We get our eyes checked, teeth cleaned, blood pressure taken, and so forth.

Why don’t we do the same for our spines?

Every time a person receives a chiropractic adjustment, it positively affects the brain and nervous system. This positive effect on the brain promotes a state of ease and well- being within the body.

Your nervous system sends messages from your brain to your body. A misalignment within the spine causes dysfunction and doesn’t allow your nerves to communicate properly.

We utilize specific chiropractic adjustments in order to correct the misalignment and allow the nerves to communicate optimally.

STUDIES SHOW CHIROPRACTIC BOOSTS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM!

The Spine Institute is staying open during this time so that we can continue to care for our patients. Chiropractic is an essential part of your health, especially during times of stress! Stress can lower your immune function and no one wants that right now! Chiropractic helps boost immune function by improving the function of the nervous system!

We are taking all the precautions in order to insure that our patients are safe and taken care of! We disinfect all tables and equipment after each patient, have germ-x available for patient use, and wash our hands after contact with each patient. We are also spreading out appointments in order to decrease exposure! So call and schedule your appointment 228-896-5343

“Stressful conditions lead to altered measures of immune function, and altered susceptibility to a variety of diseases. Many stimuli, which primarily act on the central nervous system, can profoundly alter immune responses. The immune system is affected by the nerve system through the connections with the endocrine and the autonomic nervous system. And chiropractic care improves the function of the nerve system through improving the movement of the spinal bones that encase and protect the spinal cord.” https://lesterchiropracticny.com/boosting-immunity/

***Repost from The Source Chiropractic:

Chiropractic is designed to strengthen the connection between brain and body. Our brain utilizes the nerve system to communicate vital messages to all organ systems and cells of the body via the nerves that exit the spine. Every single chiropractic adjustment is an attunement to facilitate an increase in HEALTHY LIFE VITALITY and optimal nerve function.⁣
