Maybe a healthier diet, going to the gym more often, taking vitamins, etc. Yet, no one ever mentions the correlation between chiropractic care and COVID-19 or how chiropractic care can be incorporated as part of your healthy lifestyle. Chiropractic is the science, philosophy, and art based on aligning the vertebras of the spine, so your nervous system can function at it's best. You may be asking yourself how in the world the vertebras of the spine have anything to do with your nervous system and that indeed is a great question. Along your entire spine runs the spinal cord which comes straight from the brain, and at each vertebral level you have spinal nerves that branch out from the spinal cord and attach to all the different organs in your body. Yet, let's put things into perspective, let's say you have a vertebra out of alignment, and it's pinching or putting pressure on that specific spinal nerve that is branched out from that level, do you think that organ that's normally receiving the signal from that nerve is going to receive that message from the brain? The same thing may happen if you are watering your plants outside with the hose and it got tangled at a specific section, the water coming from the tap (the signal coming from the brain) will not make it out to the plants (the organ), therefore the message is lost or interrupted. This concept is called a subluxation and a chiropractors' main goal is to locate, analyze, and correct subluxations. In regard to a subluxation, if your organs aren't receiving the messages from the brain then you can become extremely sick, your body may go into stress, there may be pain, and/or you can develop chronic illnesses. During the pandemic, many people had extremely high levels of stress, therefore creating emotional traumas in their bodies. If you receive chiropractic adjustments you are setting your body up to get rid of any misalignments, so your body can handle stress in a healthier way through logical thinking. Chiropractic adjustments will also take away those interferences along your spine, so if you do get COVID-19 for example, your immune system has all the defense mechanisms it needs to fight it off. The philosophy of chiropractic is to analyze, locate, and correct subluxations, but with an end goal of letting the body heal itself. As a chiropractor, you adjust the designated segment that needs to be adjusted and then allow the body to adapt to that adjustment. The chiropractor unwinds the knot in the hose, but the body finds the way of getting the water to shoot out of the hose cap and out to the plants. This goes hand in hand with the update on how COVID-19 is in 2022. The overall pattern seems to be that there are spikes in contaminations particularly July-August of 2021 and December 2021-January 2022. When there were no spikes, it seemed as if there were no cases COVID-19 and Chiropractic Care
