Immune boost from chiropractic:
Research shows that when we adjust your upper neck, we’re not just helping with pain and stiffness, we’re giving your immune system an immediate boost. This helps explain why many of our patients notice they don’t get sick as often. The effect is temporary, which is why we recommend regular care to maintain these immune benefits. The immune boost peaks about 30 minutes after your adjustment and gradually returns to baseline over two weeks.

We have learned over the past 25 years that your body has a neuroendocrine-immune (NEI) supersystem that runs on constant internal communications [neuroendocrine means nervous system + hormonal system]. One goal of the chiropractic adjustment is to support clear and well-regulated communications, like a computer’s operating system. This is one reason that our care plans for wellness include an adjustment every few weeks.
Our preliminary findings demonstrate an immediate, temporary increase in SIgA levels after a UCAT treatment at the CCJ.
