Enhanced Phagocytic Cell respiratory Burst Induced by Spinal Manipulation. JMPT 1991:14:399-408.
This
study was designed to measure the effect that a Chiropractic adjustment has on
the immune system. Blood was taken from each of the patients 15 minutes before
and 15 minutes after the adjustment. These results were compared to patient’s
blood test who received a sham (pretend) adjustment. The immune response from
subjects who received the adjustment was significantly higher after than before
treatment, and significantly higher than the response from the sham subjects.
Patients
who come in with colds, sore throats, sinus congestion and stomach viruses
often remark that their recovery seems to be accelerated by the chiropractic
adjustment. Recent scientific developments now lend support to the idea that
Chiropractic correction of the subluxation can aid the immune responses of the
body by reducing nerve interference.
This
is one of the most exciting areas of chiropractic. More and more research is
pointing to an immune system enhancement effect of the spinal adjustment.
