Have allergies? Chiropractic care can help!

Have allergies? Chiropractic care can help! 

Have you been suffering from allergies this season and are desperate for a reprieve? Chiropractic care might be the solution for you! Studies have shown that those who have strong allergy symptoms have seen a reduction in their allergies after seeking care from a chiropractor. “How can this be?” one might ask. Well, chiropractic care is meant to help adjust the nervous system, a factor that also plays a role in how we respond to allergies. If you are curious about seeing how a chiropractor can help relieve your allergy symptoms, contact Connetquot Chiropractic today! Our team of skilled physical therapists wants to help you get the relief you need when it comes to your allergy symptoms! 


What causes allergic reactions? 

An allergic reaction takes place when a harmless allergen enters the body that your immune system recognizes as dangerous. Your immune system will then step in to fight off the harmless allergen, sending out histamine reactions. These reactions will then cause allergy symptoms to occur. This is why allergies are typically associated with the changing seasons. Pollen is an example of a harmless substance that is often mistaken as a “threat” by the immune system. Other common allergens consist of:


  • Pet dander

  • Bee stings

  • Dust mites 

  • Mold

  • Latex

  • Certain foods such as nuts and dairy products


What are the symptoms?

Symptoms from an allergic reaction can vary depending on the allergen your body is responding to. In most cases, individuals will experience itchy or watery eyes, a runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, and coughing. For those who suffer from food allergies, symptoms can include tingling and swelling of the face, mouth, tongue, lips, or throat. In more extreme cases, an individual can go into anaphylactic shock which requires medical attention immediately. 


How can a chiropractor help?

The direct relationship between the immune system and the nervous system is what makes chiropractic care so beneficial for allergy symptoms. Chiropractic treatments that can help improve your allergy symptoms can include: 


  • Realignment of the spine - Irritation in the cervical joint can often be a result of misalignment in the spine, causing poor immunity and increased allergic symptoms. By realigning the spine, it can allow for better communication between the brain and the rest of the body. In turn, improving your allergic responses. 


  • Respiratory system support - Like the immune system, the respiratory system relies on open pathways with the brain to properly function. A chiropractor can help open these pathways, allowing for the respiratory system to respond and withstand allergy attacks.


  • Recommended dietary plan - A chiropractor can also help with recommending certain foods that help diminish the effects of allergies. 


By improving the way your body’s immune, nervous and respiratory systems communicate, you can help keep those allergy symptoms at bay without the need for any medications.
