Loss of energy/ Decreased Immune function/Anxiety
If your body is not aligned properly, it can mean any the following: the muscles and joints in your neck and back are not lined up with each other properly, they do not move properly, or the muscles do not contract properly. When this happens, the musculoskeletal system, and nerves can be adversely affected, and it can impair your body’s ability to function properly. Your body’s ability to respond to physical or mental stress will be diminished. It can cause issues with loss of energy, or increased anxiety. If the problem persists more serious problems can start to develop. More important than developing pain issues, is that your body can fail to operate properly, or defend itself from disease.
The way in which your body defends itself from disease is through its immune system. One of the major routes of your immune system is your lymphatic system. This is how your immune system is circulated throughout the body. Well, your lymphatic system works on a muscular pump. If your joints muscles and joints don’t move properly, your lymphatic system will fail to work properly. When this happens your immune system can become compromised. If your body cannot defend itself well, it is more likely to develop disease. Not to mention, that if your body doesn’t respond well to stress, your immune function can be further affected. This can affect the way your body responds to colds or viruses. Your immune system is hugely important to your health. Its what helps you body fight diseases from the common cold to cancer. There are even new cancer fighting strategies out there that focus only on increasing the immune system to fight cancer. How cool is that? How important is your immune system to your health?
