Ever wonder why you or your family seem to get sick just when the weekend or holiday begins? It feels like bad timing, but there’s more to it. Let’s explore why this happens—and how chiropractic care plays a key role.
The Body’s Natural Response to Stress
When we get sick, it’s actually our body fighting intelligently for us. Fever, fatigue, and other symptoms are signs that the body is working to eliminate toxins and heal. Interestingly, this process is controlled by the nervous system, not just the immune system.
Why Does It Happen on Weekends?
During the week, we’re often stressed, running from one task to another. Our nervous system shifts into a “fight or flight” mode, pushing down symptoms and keeping us going. When the weekend or a holiday starts, we relax. This shift allows our body to move into “rest and recovery” mode, and that’s when we finally deal with the stress we’ve been holding back.
The Chiropractic Connection
Chiropractic care directly influences the nervous system. Subluxation, or interference in the spine and nervous system, can affect how well your nervous system adapts to stress. Regular adjustments help restore balance, improving your body’s ability to handle daily stress and recover effectively. This is what we call adaptability
