Image
  When it comes to restoring health and wellness in the body, few combinations are as powerful—or as complementary—as massage therapy and chiropractic care.

  Sleep is one of the most important pillars of health, yet millions of people struggle with falling asleep, staying asleep, or feeling rested when they wake up. Chronic sleep issues are linked to everything from poor immune function to anxiety, weight gain, and cardiovascular disease.

The Link Between the Nervous System and Blood Pressure Your blood pressure is regulated by a combination of the brain, heart, blood vessels, kidneys, and hormones.

At our chiropractic office in Macomb, MI, our goal is to help patients build strong, resilient bodies — and that starts with a properly functioning nervous system and immune system.

The Nervous System and Immune System Connection To understand how chiropractic impacts immunity, you first need to recognize the close relationship between the  nervous system  and the  immune system . Your nervous system — comprised of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves — controls every system in the body, including the immune system. Signals from the brain travel th...
