When you are plagued by allergy symptoms, you probably take medications to temporarily mask those symptoms. If you are lucky, you may be able to avoid the specific allergy triggers. But what if you could improve the way your body reacts to those triggers? Well, the good news is that you can — with a little help from Premier Family Chiropractic.
What are allergies, and why do we react so strongly to them? Different people respond to different sets of allergens, those specific substances that invade the body through food, air, water, or skin exposure. Potential triggers are everywhere, from the pollen that gives so many of us “hay fever” to the sometimes dangerous respiratory problems caused by peanuts or shellfish in certain individuals. When these substances enter the bloodstream, the body’s immune responds by regarding them as invaders that must be destroyed. It releases histamine to perform this task, and the histamine causes your allergic reaction. Even mild allergic reactions can cause itching, reddened or swollen skin, runny nose, sneezing, coughing and eye irritation.
Natural Allergy Relief from Our Chiropractor in Brentwood
Our Brentwood chiropractor, Dr. Uzelman, can help you gain a measure of real control over your allergies instead of simply using drugs to mute their effects. Did you know that allergy symptoms can be amplified by neuromuscular imbalances in the body? Even a small subluxation can make it harder for your nerves to send the correct signals to your various physical systems — including your immune system. As a result, your immune system overreacts to perceived threats, and your allergies can spiral out of control. Chiropractic treatment restores healthy nerve signaling so your entire body works better. This not only helps to reduce the frequency and severity of allergy problems, but it helps you maintain stronger defenses against genuine health issues. Contact our chiropractor in Brentwood to learn more — and sneeze less!
