How can a chiropractor help with allergies?
Allergies are one of the most common chronic health conditions in the world. These are some of the most common types of allergies. Some of these can be life threatening.
Allergens can be inhaled, ingested, or enter through the skin. You may be allergic to a pollen on one plant but not another so allergies are sometimes hard to track.
Allergies can affect anyone at any age, thought allergies are more common in children. They may wear off with age but hormones, stress, smoke, perfumes, or environmental irritants can bring them up again and the severity of the symptoms may vary from childhood.
50+ million people suffer from allergies in the United States alone.
Our immune systems job is to recognize and remove harmful toxins or antigens from our body. Once a toxin is detected in the body, the immune system kicks into protection and release mode trying to get it out of the body. Coughing, sweating, sneezing, fever are all ways to get invaders out of our system.
As a chiropractor, I know the benefits of getting adjusted not only to move better but to be better.
Misalignment in the spine and body blocks the proper flow of information through the nervous system to the brain. The brain determines what actions to take depending on the environment around us and how our body is functioning in such an environment. If it is not moving correctly the areas that control the immune response weakens. Coming in for a chiropractic adjustment brings balance to your nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and improves your immune system's ability to receive and deliver the appropriate signals.
Health all depends on the brain, spinal cord, and the nerves that branch out to all organs, glands and tissues.
