The Spine-Immune System ConnectionIf you’ve been a patient at Soft Touch Chiropractic in Porter Ranch, you’ve heard me talk about how spinal health impacts overall wellness.
A study published in Nature Reviews Immunology (June 2009) confirms that the lower brain stem, specifically the medulla oblongata and Nucleus Tractus Solitarius (NTS), plays a central role in controlling the immune system.
Why C1–C3 Vertebrae MatterThe NTS receives input from the Cervical 1 (C1), Cervical 2 (C2), and Cervical 3 (C3) vertebrae. If these are misaligned, the brain receives faulty information, and your immune system can’t function at full capacity.
In Plain English:

• Your neck acts as the communication highway between your brain and immune system.
• A misaligned neck is like sending soldiers into battle with no clear orders.
• The result? Weakened immune defense and poor healing.

Have You Had Whiplash?If you've ever been in a car accident or experienced a sudden stop, your neck could be out of alignment — even if you feel fine.
👉 Whiplash injuries often go unnoticed and can severely affect neurological and immune function if not corrected.

The Chiropractic SolutionGetting your neck evaluated and adjusted by a chiropractor can:
✅ Restore proper alignment
✅ Improve brain-to-body communication
✅ Strengthen your immune system naturally

Schedule Your Neck EvaluationDon’t wait for symptoms to appear.
If your C1–C3 vertebrae are misaligned, your health could be at risk.
