CHIROPRACTIC CARE FOR

Allergies

For some, allergy season can feel like it will never end. In fact, allergies is one of the most common health complaints worldwide. According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, about 40% of children and 30% of adults experience some kind of allergy. This is due to various factors, such as pollutants in our atmosphere and other side effects of our modern world.

In fact, some individuals theorize that the prevalence of allergies is on the rise due to our often clean environment. This hygienic environment means we aren’t exposed to as many germs and irritants as our body used to be. This means our immune systems struggle to differentiate between harmful and harmless irritates, causing allergic reactions to arise. At the same time, this is only one factor of the equation, with many other factors also impacting allergy rates.

While allergy shots and medication might seem like a good idea, the costs can add up quickly. For a more affordable and non-invasive method, many individuals are turning to chiropractic care for relief.

How Chiropractic Care Treats Allergies

Allergies happen due to the trigger of histamine reactions. This is what causes you to cough or sneeze in the presence of that allergen. Basically, allergies are overactive histamine reactions that happen due to a heightened immune response. 

 Yet, this isn’t the end of this complicated domino effect. Your nervous system plays a key role in activating the immune system, causing allergies. If a subluxation occurs along your thoracic vertebrae, your adrenal glands can become hyperactive, which leads to hyper reactions due to environmental triggers. Yet, research demonstrates how when subluxations are addressed, allergies are reduced.
