Surely when you think of chiropractic, pulled nerves, pinched nerves or all kinds of pains that can be treated with chiropractic adjustments come to mind. In essence, you are right, as at our chiropractic center in Barcelona we treat and help many people who have ailments in their body.
In this article we come to talk about something different, as chiropractic can also be of great help to those who do not feel any pain. This is possible thanks to the fact that chiropractic is perfect for strengthening your immune system and, therefore, improving your defenses.
Therefore, if you want to get sick less or start feeling much better, this article is of interest to you. Here you will find the relationship between the nervous and immune systems and how chiropractic can help you, not only to reduce accumulated tension, but also to improve your health.
What is the relationship between the nervous and immune systems?
The relationship between the nervous and immune systems is complex and bidirectional, with both systems constantly influencing each other.
The immune system is able to modulate the immune system response through hormones or nerve pathways and the immune system is able to influence brain function and behavior through immune molecules.
This good relationship is essential for the body to be able to offer a coordinated response to internal or external threats faced by the organism. Thus, when both systems are well connected and in good condition, defenses are better and, for example, it is more difficult to get sick or recover faster.
How does chiropractic influence the immune system?
Chiropractic seeks to optimize the function of the nervous system through chiropractic adjustments. These adjustments are performed on the spine to remove subluxations and reduce inflammation, as well as other problems.
Because the nervous system and the immune system are interconnected, when nerve function is optimized, communication with the immune system is also improved, thus optimizing both systems.
It is important to note that chiropractic is not a treatment for diseases of the immune system. Therefore, chiropractic’s focus on the immune system offers benefits ranging from reduced stress and inflammation to improved nerve communication.
Benefits of chiropractic care for your defenses
You can come to our chiropractic center even if you don’t have any ailment because strengthening your immune system always has great benefits.
Thanks to chiropractic adjustments you can emphasize the care of your body, for example, by reducing physical and mental stress. If you have a misaligned spine you may be putting stress on the nervous system, a type of physical stress that the body registers and, of course, suffers from.
With chiropractic adjustments you release that stress and get the body. This allows the defenses to work much more efficiently as they are not suppressed at any time by stress hormones.
Chiropractic adjustments improve your body’s defenses by improving communication between the body and the brain. This is possible because chiropractic adjustments are able to eliminate possible clogging of the vertebrae, for example, due to prolonged bad posture. By eliminating the jams or interference, the brain is much more effective in sending orders and, therefore, improve the body’s defenses.
Finally, when the body has a nervous system that works much more efficiently, it is able to adapt better to changes in the environment. By adapting better, the defenses can work more calmly, which allows them to be more prepared for changes and, therefore, to be stronger.
Chiropractic, stress and immunological health
Misalignments that may exist in the spine can cause stress. This is possible because these movement restrictions can irritate the nerves and send a constant stress signal to the brain.
This does not necessarily have to be painful, but our organism can be affected by stress without us being aware of it and, therefore, affect our well-being and the other facets of our daily life.
The care achieved through chiropractic adjustments is to reduce subluxations and restore mobility. Through chiropractic adjustments our practitioners reduce nerve irritation and consequently reduce nerve irritation. This reduces the activity of the sympathetic nervous system by reducing the release of hormones that cause stress.
It is for these reasons that many patients not only end cervical pain when they attend a chiropractic session, but they can also enjoy a relaxing effect. By visiting your Barcelona chiropractor you will go from a state of constant alertness to a state of rest and digestion that is essential for the body care of the person.

Nowadays we are subjected to many stimuli that affect our quality of life. The accelerated pace of work sometimes endangers the overall health of people, something that is not always reflected in pain, but in the state of our neurons.
Getting regular chiropractic adjustments is the best way to improve one’s overall health. Like a good diet, these adjustments affect the immune system and not only make us feel better by relieving stress, but also improve body recovery which allows us to be better prepared and get sick less.
