Psycho-Neuro-Immunology and Chiropractic

Huh?  Psycho what?  No, its real!  According to various studies, how  you think (Psychology), your Nerve System and Immune System are connected!  That's good news!   

   

      We know that mental states such as STRESS influence our health and effect our immune system.  We are more prone to illness and injury when we are stressed out.  I do not need a scientific study to prove that!

     BUT, let's flip our scenario.  What happens when we are happy? 

 

"In 1964, magazine editor Norman Cousins was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis, a life-threatening autoimmune disease, and given a 1 in 500 chance of recovery. Cousins rejected his doctors' prognosis and embarked on his own program of happiness therapy, including regular doses of Marx Brothers films, and credited it with triggering a dramatic recovery. He later established the Cousins Center, which is dedicated to investigating whether psychological factors really can keep people healthy. "

        

     Research in the 80's and 90's revealed that the Brain is directly wired to the immune system - portions of the nerve system connect with immune related organs such as the thymus gland and bone marrow(where cancer and disease fighting white blood cells are born).

     The mind-body connection is critical for every health and well being and studies are finally proving what we have intuitively know for centuries - everything is connected!  "For as he thinketh in his heart, so he is" Proverbs 23:7 KJV.  Our thoughts, our nerve system and immune system are connected!        

     

      CHIROPRACTIC improves neural function by removing interference at the spinal level.  The nerve system control and coordinates you bodily functions.  All eleven (11) body systems depend upon the mental impulses that leave the brain and travel along nerves innervating ( control) every tissue in the body.  The bones of the spine PROTECT this system.  Spinal health and the IMMUNE system are connected.
