Sickness and Chiropractic Care in West Des Moines IA

Chiropractic care in West Des Moines IA won't make you immune to "sickness", but it WILL help you fight illness and recover quicker.

There are times in our office when we hear practice members say, "I couldn't come in last week because I had the flu. I thought my adjustments would prevent me from getting sick." And we often reply with, "Wonderful!" This response might seem strange, however, let us explain…

Signs Of "Sickness" Mean Your Body Is Functioning Properly in West Des Moines IA

The runny nose, and cough, are signs your body is doing what it's programmed to do - fight off the viruses, germs, and illness it is exposed to. In other words, when you get the flu, the fever, lethargic feeling, and cough, actually serve a purpose. These symptoms are outward signs that your body is doing what it's supposed to in order to fight off the illness inside it! And here is a crazy thought for you to consider, these symptoms are actually not examples of "sickness", but rather examples of "health"!
