Press Release Summary: Flu season is upon us. Dr. Angelo Karakasis can help you give
your immune system a boost to help you stay healthy.


Press Release Body: The flu season begins in November and is at its height between
December and March. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, up
to 1 out of every 5 Americans will get the flu this year. Are you prepared for the
flu season?

Chiropractic care may be your answer to a clean bill of health this season. Dr.
Angelo Karakasis, D.C. can give your immune system a boost with a spinal adjustment
at his office, Garrett Pain and Rehab. A study shown in the Journal of Vertebral
Subluxation Research in 1997 showed chiropractic care to be effective in treating
the flu. Over 2,800 individuals received regular chiropractic care and the result
was an average 15% decrease in the incidence of colds and the flu.

According to the World Chiropractic Alliance, spinal adjustments can help your
immune system function better. An adjustment corrects what are called vertebral
subluxation\'s, which cause interference of the nervous system. When an adjustment is
performed, it releases pressure on the nerves and allows more efficient interaction
between your body\'s nervous system and immune system. When your immune system is
healthy it is better prepared to prevent or combat the flu.

\"Regular chiropractic care is beneficial to most individuals. It has been proven
over and over to help the body function properly. Preventing the flu is just one of
the benefits that my patients have seen. A large part of the population don\'t
necessarily need the flu shot. What they should focus on this flu season is just to
be as healthy as possible. Eating healthy foods, exercising, having good hygiene,
and having a healthy body are all important issues in combating the flu,\" said Dr.
Karakasis.
