Why does your body react, or rather overreact, to the environment with such an intense allergic reaction while other people seem unaffected? It’s a valid question. The answer is because some individuals, like you, have a hyperactive immune system that actually “freaks out” when they come into contact with everyday substances such as pollen, dander, shellfish, or nuts.

Can your chiropractor help with your allergy symptoms? You may be surprised by the answer. Even though chiropractic care doesn’t treat allergies, many men, women, and children notice that they experience ease from their allergy symptoms after getting chiropractic adjustments. This relief comes about because chiropractic adjustments affect the entire nervous system, including the autoimmune system. When there’s a disturbance in the nervous system, in addition to other problems, the autoimmune system, whose job it is to assist us in adapting and responding appropriately to our environment, can become under-active or overactive. The dysfunction is the latter when it comes to your allergies. Because chiropractic adjustments decrease or take away disturbances in the nervous system and bring back balance and harmony to the body, the treatments bring that same homeostasis to the auto-immune system as well. A healthy immune system reacts appropriately to supposed allergens in the environment.

So, as pointed out above, your chiropractor doesn’t actually treat allergies. You could say, instead, that a decrease in your allergies is clearly a part of a well-adjusted nervous system. Make an appointment, today, to see your chiropractor and get back into harmony with your environment.
