What are allergies?

Allergies are when your body reacts to a foreign substance, such as pollen. It sees this foreign substance as an invader and works to fight it off.

How can chiropractic help with allergies?

Chiropractic care can help strengthen your immune system by correcting any misalignments in the spine. When the spine is aligned, it allows your nervous system to function optimally, allowing it to fight off allergens more easily. Chiropractic adjustments can also help alleviate pressure on the nerves connected to the lungs, allowing the breath to move more freely. Most allergy treatments mask the symptoms rather than treat the root cause. There can be many factors contributing to allergies, but chiropractic can help improve your immune system’s response to allergens. Are you ready to breathe freely? Contact us to set up an appointment.
