Chiropractic care is able to assist in maintaining your overall health during flu and cold season. There are a few reasons why it is beneficial to get adjusted when illness is in the air. Chiropractic care helps alleviate stress from pain, restricted move- ment, and inflammation. Stress is scientifically proven to harm one's immune system. Simply put, when you are stressed, you are more susceptible to germs. Pain and disfunction cause stress. Chiropractic care helps relieve a person from pain. By being a healthier version of yourself, you will have less stress and be less susceptible to disease. In a research study performed by Dr. Pero, Ph.D., chief of cancer prevention and a professor at New York University/New York Preventative Medicine Institute, it was shown that a person's white blood cell count experienced a 200% increase after a chiropractic ad- justment. White blood cells are the cells in our body that fight and kill germs. It is backed by clinical research that chiropractic care causes an increase in white blood cells, which in turn makes a person's immune system stronger.
