Hi, I'm doctor Sue Yunan, and I want to share
something that many people might not realize. Your spine and
your immune system are deeply connected. As a doctor of
chiropractic care and regenerative medicine, I've seen firsthand how spinal
health influences overall wellness, including immunity. It's something I feel
passionate about because I believe in empowering people with natural
(00:22):
ways to support their bodies defenses. Let's start with the basics.
Your spine isn't just there to support your posture. It
houses and protects your central nervous system that includes your
spinal cord, which is the main highway of communication between
your brain and the rest of your body. Every function
in your body, including your immune response, is regulated through
(00:44):
this system. So if there's interference misalignments we call subluxations,
it can impact how efficiently your body responds to illness.
When your spine is out of alignment, it can compress nerves,
limit mobility, and reduce the body's ability to function at
its best. The immune system may not receive clear signals,
(01:05):
which can weaken your response to viruses, bacteria, and other threats.
But when we correct these misalignments. With chiropractic adjustments, we
restore that communication. That's when the body begins to self
regulate and heal the way it was designed to. There's
also a stress connection that I often discuss. Chronic stress
(01:26):
is a known immune suppressant. When your nervous system is
under constant pressure, whether from physical strain, emotional stress, or
poor posture, it triggers a state of fight or flight
in your body. That kind of stress response lowers immunity
over time. Regular chiropractic care helps bring the nervous system
back into balance, reducing that always on stress mode and
(01:48):
allowing the immune system to function optimally. In my clinic,
I've had many patients come in during cold and flu
season looking for ways to boost their natural defenses. They're
off and surprise to learn how much their spinal health
affects their overall well being. After a few sessions of
targeted adjustments, many notice improved sleep, better energy levels, and
(02:10):
fewer colds. This isn't magic, it's simply the body working
the way it should once interference is removed. It's also
important to remember that chiropractic care is not a cure
for disease. What it does is support the body's inateability
to heal itself. Your immune system is powerful, but like
any system, it functions best when everything else is in alignment.
(02:34):
Chiropractic adjustments are one of the most natural and non
invasive ways to support that alignment. If you're someone looking
to take a proactive approach to health, especially in a
world where staying well is more important than ever, I
encourage you to consider chiropractic care as part of your
wellness routine. A strong immune system starts with a healthy
(02:54):
nervous system, and that starts with your spine. Thank you
for taking the time to learn more. Your health is
your greatest asset. N
