🧠 JUST THE FACTS: Chiropractic & the Common Cold
Did You Know?
There’s growing evidence of a reflexive link between the nervous and immune systems—called neural immunoregulation. This concept suggests that a chiropractic adjustment, especially to the upper back, may stimulate white blood cell activity and reduce inflammation, potentially aiding the body’s response to colds.
🔬 What the Research Shows:
• Spinal Manipulative Therapy (SMT) has been associated with:
• Decreased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (which worsen inflammation)
• Increased levels of immunoregulatory cytokines (which help regulate immune response)
Upper Cervical Adjusting Techniques (UCATs) have shown a temporary boost in Secretory Immunoglobulin A (SIgA)—a key immune defense in mucosal tissues—within 30 minutes of treatment.
• These findings support the idea that chiropractic care may help modulate immune function, though more rigorous studies are needed to confirm long-term effects.
✅ Key Takeaway:
Chiropractic adjustments may stimulate immune responses without side effects, offering a potential complementary approach to wellness. Continued research is essential to fully understand this relationship.
