A Surprising Solution to Your Allergy Symptoms
September 27th, 2009 | by admin |Everyday life can be miserable when you have allergies. A walk in the garden, a play date with Kitty, a seafood pasta, 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, on occasion a person’s allergic reactions can go from just plain irritating to dangerous and life-threatening as the air passageway begins to close and breathing becomes difficult. This evolution of symptoms can frequently cause a state of panic.
In fact, if you have allergies, it may seem that, from time-to-time, your environment is a pretty unfriendly place and that the world around you is, truly, out to get you!
You may question why it is that other people seem 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 virtually “freaks out” when you are confronted with everyday substances such as pollen, dander, shellfish, or nuts.
Can your chiropractor help with your allergy symptoms? The answer may surprise you. Quite a few people have noticed that they experience relief from their allergy symptoms after chiropractic treatment, even though chiropractic care doesn’t actually treat allergies.
This relief takes place because chiropractic manipulation affects the entire nervous system, including the autoimmune system. When there’s a disruption in the nervous system, in addition to other problems, the autoimmune system, whose job it is to assist you in adapting and responding appropriately to your environment, can become under-active or overactive. The dysfunction is the latter (overactive) when it comes to your allergies.
Since chiropractic adjustments decrease or eliminate disturbances in the nervous system and bring back balance and harmony to the body, the treatments provide that same balance and harmony to the auto-immune system as well. A vital immune system reacts appropriately to so-called allergens in the environment.
So, as pointed out above, your chiropractor doesn’t directly treat allergies. You could say, rather, that relief from your allergies is clearly the by-product of a healthy nervous system. If you’d like to get back into harmony with your surroundings as soon as possible, make an appointment with chiropractor today.
