A Surprising Solution to Your Allergy Symptoms
June 21st, 2009 | by admin |Everyday life can be miserable when you have allergies. A walk in the garden, a play date with Fluffy, a seafood pasta, or even something as small as a nut can produce such unwelcome symptoms as itchy eyes, a runny nose, sneezing, or a skin rash. But, occasionally our allergic reactions can go from just plain irritating to dangerous and life-threatening as our air passageway becomes constricted and we have a problem breathing. If you have allergies, it may seem that, from time-to-time, your environment is a very unfriendly place and that the world around you is, literally, out to get you!
You may question why it is that other people appear to be so unaffected by the environment, while your body reacts, or rather overreacts, to it It’s a valid question. The answer is that some individuals, like you, have a hyperactive immune system that virtually “freaks out” when they encounter common substances such as pollen, dander, shellfish, or nuts.
Can your chiropractor help with your allergy symptoms? You may be surprised by the answer. A lot of people have noticed that they experience ease from their allergy symptoms after chiropractic treatment, even though chiropractic care doesn’t actually treat allergies. This relief occurs because chiropractic adjustments affect the whole nervous system, including the autoimmune system. When there’s an impedance in the nervous system, in conjunction with other problems, the autoimmune system, whose responsibility it is to assist us in adapting and responding appropriately to our environment, can become under-active or overactive. The problem is the latter when it comes to your allergies. Because chiropractic adjustments lessen or take away disturbances in the nervous system and bring the body back into balance and harmony, the treatments provide that same balance and harmony to the auto-immune system as well. A vital immune system responds appropriately to commonly named allergens in the environment.
So, as pointed out above, your chiropractor doesn’t actually treat allergies. You could say, rather, that a decrease in your allergies is simply a part of a healthy nervous system. If you want to get back into harmony with your surroundings as soon as possible, call your chiropractor today.
