Spring is in full swing, and that means allergens are too. Many people may not be aware, but there are many allergy sufferers who have found relief with the help of chiropractic care. Allergies are an exaggerated response by the immune system to anything that the body doesn’t recognize as something that should be in the body. Although chiropractic care isn’t specifically an allergy treatment, it is a natural approach that helps the body function optimally, which is important for those suffering from allergies!
Common Allergy Treatments
Most people who suffer from allergies take a pill once or twice a day or use nasal spray. Those options may help relieve symptoms, but they don’t take care of the underlying issue. Fortunately, chiropractic offers benefits that can relieve allergy symptoms.
How Does Chiropractic Care Help?
Chiropractic adjustments and treatments release pressure that is on the nervous system, allowing the immune system to work more efficiently and effectively. Both the immune system and the respiratory system rely on strong communication between the brain and the spinal cord to coordinate and control their functions. If that communication is interrupted (from a misalignment, for example), it can lead to the immune system becoming compromised. Chiropractic adjustments realign the spine, which opens the pathways of communication between the brain and the spine that allow the body to heal itself. Chiropractic care is a holistic and natural approach to allergy treatment and allows the body to do what it was designed to do!
Not only does chiropractic support a strong immune system, but it also helps with the regulation of cortisol levels. This is particularly important during high allergy season. Most people suffering from allergies also have weak adrenal gland function and spinal misalignments can impact allergic reactions. We know you’re aware of the many benefits of chiropractic, but who would have thought chiropractic can help with allergies?
