Allergy Relief and Chiropractic Care

Spring is in full swing, and that means allergy season is too. Seasonal allergies leave many of our patients feeling less than their best. Stuffy noses, itchy watery eyes, and sneezing fits are just a few of the unwanted symptoms due to allergies. If you suffer from allergies, check out our suggestions.  

SPRING CLEANING  

Whoever came up with spring cleaning was really on to something. Keeping a clean home and body is especially important as we practice social distancing and it can also help with relieving allergy symptoms. You may not be able to get remove pollen in the air, but you can get rid of it to the best of your ability and limit the amount of allergens in your home. You’re already washing your hands regularly but rinse your face as well. Sweep frequently and wipe down objects that accumulate dust, which can cause your allergies to act up.  

OTC REMEDIES  

You know that Shields Chiropractic, we are all about healing the body naturally. However, an allergy pill can help keep symptoms at bay. This option is more for those that suffer from occasional allergies, and it can help with seasonal stuffiness. If you have serious allergies, your primary care physician can help you come up with the best treatment plan for you, though we do have another option for you.  

CHIROPRACTIC CARE  

Most people think chiropractic is only for treating neck and back pain. Even those that are aware of many of the benefits of chiropractic care don’t realize that chiropractic treatments can make a huge difference for allergy sufferers. Our experienced chiropractors use spinal adjustments to return the spine to proper alignment. When that happens, the central nervous system can function optimally, which includes your immune system. Because allergies are an overreaction of the immune system, it’s important to make sure your immune system is in great shape. Many of our patients find their allergy symptoms are more manageable with the help of chiropractic care, and some the positive effects after just one adjustment!
