Spring may have just started, but we’re already thinking about the woes of allergy season. As enjoyable as springtime is — the sunshine, the warmer weather, more time outside — seasonal allergies can really diminish that joy. Here’s how chiropractic can help manage your allergy symptoms.
Allergy Symptoms
For allergy sufferers, symptoms can range from mild to severe. It all depends on the individual’s body and how it reacts to the allergens in the environment. The most common seasonal allergy symptoms we treat patients for include:
Sneezing
Itchy eyes
Runny nose
Congestion
When you experience these symptoms, they can be a huge interruption in your day-to-day life and that’s when it is time to seek help. At Bird Chiropractic, our experienced chiropractors may be able to help you find natural allergy relief through a combination of chiropractic treatments.
Traditional Allergy Treatment
Traditional treatments can be helpful for allergy sufferers, but the issue is that they only mask the symptoms, rather than treat the root cause of the symptoms. Some also come with unwanted side effects such as drowsiness and upset stomach. That’s why whenever possible, we suggest taking the natural route with holistic treatments (like chiropractic care!).
How Chiropractic Care Helps with Allergies
Your nervous system is the control center of your body, and that includes your immune system. Allergic reactions — including those that result from seasonal changes — are essentially an overreaction by your body to the environment. Even though allergies are something a lot of people deal with, you don’t have to suffer through a beautiful spring! By focusing on improving the health of the nervous system with chiropractic care, you may find that your body reacts differently to its environment, including allergens.
Regular chiropractic adjustments remove joint dysfunctions and restrictions from the spine, meaning your nervous system can function at its best. This causes your body to respond better to environmental allergens so you can feel your best and suffer less.
