Your immune system and nervous system are in constant communication — one influences the other every single day. When the nervous system functions optimally, your body can regulate and defend itself the way it was designed to.
That connection is exactly what caught the attention of Dr. Ronald Pero, Ph.D., chief of cancer prevention research at New York’s Preventive Medicine Institute and professor at New York University.
In his three-year study of 107 people who had been under chiropractic care for five years or more, Dr. Pero measured immune function and compared the results to those in the general population and to patients with cancer and other serious diseases.
What he found was remarkable:
✨ Chiropractic patients showed a 200% greater immune competence than people who had not received chiropractic care
✨ And a 400% greater immune competence than those with serious diseases
✨ Their immune strength did not decline with age
Dr. Pero concluded, “We have never seen such a positive improvement in a group.”
This study highlights what chiropractors have known for decades — when the nervous system is clear and balanced, the body’s innate ability to heal and protect itself is enhanced.
Your body was made to heal. Chiropractic simply helps it do that.
