Nature’s Flu Shot

11.png

What a trying winter season last year as so many people, maybe even you, went down with the flu (or cough, runny nose, nausea, high temperature, you name it) and had to watch their body put up a fight.

In our office, we always tell our patients, “The best way to prevent sickness is to develop a ROBUST IMMUNE SYSTEM (because that's your army against invaders!)”

There are many lifestyle choices that will support and strengthen that system and many folks don’t realize that a chiropractic adjustment is one of the most powerful!

The nervous system and immune system are hardwired and work together to create optimal responses for the body to adapt and heal appropriately. Neural dysfunctions due to spinal shifts are stressful to the body and cause abnormal changes that lead to a poorly coordinated immune response. Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to boost the coordinated responses of the nervous system and immune system.

That's why when a patient calls in to say they woke up sick and need to cancel, we tell them to do everything they possibly can to make it to their appointment because our care helps the body boost the healing up!

A visit to Dr. Ryan’s table may get them back to work, school or life faster.

Now, back to that virus that seems to be all over the news this time of year. Please, call on your trusted holistic practitioner, whether it is Summit Chiropractic or not. They will teach you about your body and how to support it naturally.

Here is a great recipe to share with anybody who wants a daily immune system boost to sip on:
