Health and wellness are important to Asheville residents. The presence of the Blue Ridge Mountains has long attracted people who love to get out and enjoy the great outdoors. People love to explore the many miles of trails and waterways throughout western North Carolina. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened the concern for staying healthy. When winter comes, we still have all the same old flu, colds, and strep throat potential, in addition to the dangerous coronavirus. 

It is vital for western North Carolinians to take care of their immune systems. Did you know the chiropractor can help? 

Chiropractic Care and Your Immune System

One of the misconceptions about chiropractic care is that it is meant only to help alleviate back pain. While that is certainly part of the process, there is so much more to the discipline than what you might have heard. 

Chiropractic care is a holistic way of looking at your health and wellness. It's based on the idea that the body is self-sustaining and self-healing. The brain, by its link with the spinal cord and the enormous networks of nerves that make up the body, effectively controls the entire body. 

When the nervous system is not working properly, the human body's entire performance suffers.

Drugs and medicine are not used as a means of treatment in the chiropractic world. While supplementation and nutrition are virtually always a component of the bigger picture, medicines and prescriptions are often used as band-aids to alleviate symptoms rather than addressing the root of the problem.

Chiropractic care seeks to get to the root causes of issues and make corrections so that the body can do what it does best.

There has never been a time where people were more concerned with protecting and boosting their immune systems than they are today. However, chiropractors have long been helping improve their immune systems through chiropractic care. 

Here is how it can work:

• Subluxations might affect your neurological system by reducing blood flow and slowing down signals from your brain.
• Chiropractic adjustments can aid in the restoration of blood flow and the improvement of your neurological system’s response.
• Your body can deliver the necessary messages more rapidly when your spine is operating properly.
• X-rays can be taken by your chiropractor to assist in discovering any more problems.
• Your chiropractor, as a holistic health specialist, can offer a number of tips and advice to help you rebuild and protect your immune system.

Drugs will only treat symptoms or help get rid of sickness after you have already come down with something. If you want to stay healthy and give yourself your best chance at avoiding sickness this winter, your first visit should be to your chiropractor.
