What Are Allergies?
Allergies are caused by your immune system’s response to foreign substances, like pollen, dust, or pet dander. As your body tries to attack these substances, it produces histamines which result in sneezing, itching, and cold-like symptoms.
Allergy symptoms differ from person to person and by the allergen. Some of the most common allergy symptoms include:
- Itchy, watery eyes
- Stuffy nose
- Post-nasal drip
- Sneezing
- Coughing or wheezing
- Difficulty breathing or asthma attack
- Scratchy throat
- Skin rashes or hives
How to Get Rid of Allergies
Certain medications, like allergy pills or nasal sprays, work wonders for some people, while others barely find relief.
While not all allergy medications carry side effects, none of them treat the underlying issue. One of the benefits of professional chiropractic care is that it treats the exact source of the problem, not just your symptoms.
Chiropractic Treatment for Allergies
Our Clearwater chiropractor, Dr. Jere, has been treating allergies for decades. He uses muscle testing to find the cause of your allergic reaction. Then, he’ll perform spinal manipulation to strengthen your immune system.
Chiropractic Adjustment
When your immune system is compromised, it’s not in the best position to ward off allergens.
A misaligned spine can weaken your body’s defenses. Chiropractic adjustments remove subluxations, promoting improved communication between the brain and spinal nerves. This balances your nervous system and helps your body fight foreign substances.
Adjustments can also benefit your respiratory system by relieving pressure on the nerves that innervate the lungs. This can improve your breathing and reduce allergy symptoms.
Nutritional Counseling
Without the essential nutrients, your body can’t produce the cells it needs to support adequate immune function. Certain foods and diets are also known to increase or trigger an allergy response, and Dr. Jere can help determine what those may be.
Finally, exercise is important for boosting your immune system. Aerobic exercise has been proven to suppress histamine-producing cells that cause allergies. Dr. Jere can create personalized chiropractic, nutrition, and exercise programs to meet your specific needs.
