A lot of people go to chiropractors to alleviate stress and pain.
But one Sioux Falls chiropractor says getting an adjustment can protect your against the flu.
His name is Doctor Ben Rall and tonight he says what he can do for you is more effective than what a vaccine can accomplish.
For months, many of you have been waiting to get an H1N1 flu vaccine.
Ryan Brewer never stood in line because he never wanted the shot, at the advice of his chiropractor. "We haven't gotten any flu shots as recommended by Doctor Rall and we haven't gotten the flu at all."
Brewer says he's healthy because he and his family receive chiropractic adjustments from Doctor Ben Rall who tells us bringing the spine into alignment strengthens the immune system and eliminates the need for medicines and chemicals in your body. "Essentially what we're talking about is having a high functioning immune system so you can prevent not just the flu if you will but most of the diseases that that we know are related to an improper functioning immune system."
Rall also counsels his patients on incorporating more healthy foods into their diet as part of a stronger immune system.
And Ryan Brewer says his treatment doesn't just ward off the flu but it's also stopped other illnesses which had plagued him for years. "I haven't had any sinus infections, I haven't had any nasal congestion."
