This is the time of year when you start hearing about the flu on television and in the news. Every one knows that you should wash your hands regularly, get plenty of rest, and drink lots of fluids during flu season.  Is there anything else you can do to give your immune system a boost to protect from illness?

Spinal adjustments have been shown to boost immune function because they serve to correct the spinal misalignment’s that cause neural dysfunction. These misalignment or interference can stress the body out, which may lead to a weakened immune system and lowered response to a foreign body, such as the cold and flu virus.

 We may not be able to completely prevent illness, but there are certainly ways you may lessen the severity or duration of your time under the weather.  Now that’s something anyone can be happy with, right? If you would like to learn more about using chiropractic to combat the flu this season, please call Chait Chiropractic Center at (941)371-1070.  We are here to help!
