There are numerous correlations between chiropractic care and increased function of the immune system. According to Dr. George Ellwanger, upper cervical chiropractor "Researchers now know that there is a critical link between the body's central nervous system and the immune system. Something chiropractic researchers have been aware of since the 1918 flu epidemic, when it was found that the rate of chiropractic patients that got the flu was less than half that of non-chiropractic patients." The nervous system controls every organ, cell and tissue in your body. If your nervous system is not working at 100% then neither is your body. Regular upper cervical chiropractic checkups can insure that your nervous system is functioning at 100%. For more information on upper cervical chiropractic please visit thespecific.com.

What does it mean to be healthy?

What do you think that health is? Many of us think that health is just the absence of disease. If I feel good I must be healthy. I challenge you to think about the definition of health according to the World Health Organization. Health is “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” How many times do you hear of someone that was doing just fine. They exercised regularly and ate well. The next thing that you know you hear that they had a heart attack. Do you think that this person was well? The obvious answer is no.
