Everyday life can be miserable if you suffer from allergies. A walk in the garden, a play date with Fluffy, a shellfish stew, or even something as small as a nut can generate such unwelcome symptoms as itchy eyes, a runny nose, sneezing, or a skin rash. But, occasionally our allergic reactions can progress from just plain irritating to dangerous and life-threatening as our air passageway constricts and we have a difficult time breathing. If you have allergies, it may seem that, from time-to-time, your environment is a very antagonistic place and that the world around you is, in fact, out to get you!

You may wonder why it is that other individuals appear to be so unaffected by the environment, while your body reacts, or rather overreacts, to it It’s a good question. The answer is that some people, like you, have a hyperactive immune system that literally “freaks out” when they are confronted with ordinary substances such as pollen, dander, shellfish, or nuts.

Can your chiropractor help with your allergy symptoms? The answer may surprise you. Even though chiropractic care doesn’t treat allergies, a lot of men, women, and children notice that they experience relief from their allergy symptoms after receiving chiropractic adjustments. The reason for this is because chiropractic manipulation affects the whole nervous system, including the autoimmune system. When there’s an impedance in the nervous system, in addition to other problems, the autoimmune system, whose job it is to help us adapt and respond appropriately to our environment, can become under-active or overactive. The dysfunction is the latter when it comes to your allergies. Since chiropractic manipulations lessen or eliminate disturbances in the nervous system and bring the body back into balance and harmony, the treatments provide that same balance and harmony to the auto-immune system as well. A vital immune system responds appropriately to supposed allergens in the environment.

So, as pointed out above, your chiropractor doesn’t directly treat allergies. You could say, instead, that ease from your allergies is clearly the by-product of a healthy nervous system. If you want to get back into harmony with your surroundings as soon as possible, make an appointment with chiropractor today.
