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

Can your chiropractor help with your allergy symptoms? The answer may surprise you. Even though chiropractic care doesn’t treat allergies, quite a few men, women, and children notice that they experience ease from their allergy symptoms after getting chiropractic adjustments. This relief occurs because chiropractic treatment affects the complete nervous system, including the autoimmune system. When there’s an impedance in the nervous system, along 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. In the case of your allergies, the breakdown is the latter. Since chiropractic manipulations reduce or eliminate disturbances in the nervous system and bring back balance and harmony to the body, the manipulations provide that same homeostasis to the auto-immune system as well. A healthy immune system responds appropriately to commonly named allergens in the environment.

So, as explained above, your chiropractor doesn’t directly treat allergies. You could say, rather, that ease from your allergies is merely a part of a well-adjusted nervous system. Make an appointment, today, to see your chiropractor and get back into harmony with your environment.
