Lower Inflammation Naturally with Chiropractic Care
Oct 3, 2025 -- Posted by :Chronic inflammation is the hidden trigger behind many health challenges—from joint pain and fatigue to heart disease and brain fog. At the center of this inflammatory storm is a powerful messenger called Interleukin-6 (IL-6).
At Coast Chiropractic Centers, we help patients lower IL-6 levels naturally using neurologically-focused chiropractic care. This drug-free, non-invasive approach supports your body’s innate ability to heal, reduce inflammation, and function optimally—starting at the source.
What Is IL-6 and Why Does It Matter?
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a cytokine—a signaling protein used by your immune system. In healthy doses, IL-6 helps the body fight infections and repair tissues.
But when IL-6 levels remain elevated, it becomes a chronic inflammation trigger associated with:
Arthritis and joint degeneration
Cardiovascular disease
Obesity and metabolic syndrome
Autoimmune conditions
Cognitive decline and neurodegeneration
Chronic pain and fatigue
Simply put: Too much IL-6 keeps your body in a state of alert and stress.
How Chiropractic Care Helps Regulate IL-6
Chiropractic adjustments don’t just realign the spine—they also impact the nervous and immune systems, which directly influence inflammation markers like IL-6.
Here’s how chiropractic can help:
✅ Reduces Nervous System Stress
Spinal misalignments (subluxations) create mechanical and neurological stress, which can keep the body in a chronic "fight-or-flight" state—fueling inflammation. Adjustments relieve this stress and help the nervous system return to balance.
✅ Enhances Vagal Tone
Research suggests chiropractic care can increase vagal nerve activity, which plays a role in lowering systemic inflammation and calming cytokine activity, including IL-6.
✅ Lowers Pro-Inflammatory Markers
Several studies have shown that regular chiropractic care can lead to decreased levels of IL-6 and other inflammatory markers over time—especially when combined with lifestyle support.
✅ Promotes Musculoskeletal Repair
By restoring joint motion and reducing muscular tension, chiropractic care helps the body repair tissue more efficiently, reducing the need for excessive inflammatory response.
IL-6 and Pain: What You Should Know
High IL-6 levels are associated with increased pain sensitivity and tissue breakdown. This is especially true in conditions like:
Fibromyalgia
Chronic back or neck pain
Rheumatoid arthritis
Osteoarthritis
Sciatica and nerve inflammation
By helping lower IL-6 levels, chiropractic care may reduce pain naturally without medications, while supporting the healing process.
What to Expect in Inflammation-Focused Chiropractic Care
At Coast Chiropractic Centers, we take a whole-body approach to inflammation regulation, starting with:
Detailed assessment of spinal alignment, mobility, posture, and nerve tension
Personalized chiropractic adjustments to correct imbalances and calm nerve stress
Targeted therapies such as laser therapy, CBD ultrasound, and intersegmental traction to reduce soft tissue inflammation
Lifestyle support including movement, hydration, and nutritional guidance to reduce systemic IL-6 triggers
Our goal is to restore alignment and calm the inflammatory loop from the inside out.
The Role of Lifestyle in Managing IL-6
We enhance chiropractic results by helping patients reduce IL-6 naturally through:
Anti-inflammatory diets rich in omega-3s, leafy greens, and antioxidants
Movement and posture correction to reduce joint stress
Hydration to flush inflammatory byproducts
Stress reduction through breathing, sleep optimization, and vagus nerve stimulation
When your spine is aligned and your lifestyle supports recovery, inflammation has nowhere to hide.
The Bottom Line: Less IL-6 = Less Inflammation, More Healing
If you’ve been battling chronic pain, fatigue, stiffness, or inflammatory conditions, your IL-6 levels could be part of the problem—and chiropractic care may be part of the solution.
At Coast Chiropractic Centers, we offer a natural, evidence-informed approach to inflammation management that doesn’t rely on pills, shots, or guesswork.
