October=Allergies


It's that time of year again! Seasonal allergies can hit anyone, at anytime.

Neck Misalignment can produce or exaggerate allergic symptoms via control over airway dilation and immune responses. Many allergic reactions are due to hypersensitivity of the immune system and/or respiratory response (allergy attack, asthma attack, coughing attack, skin rash) to something in the environment such as dust, pollen, grass, etc.

  
"Rachel" (name changed to protect patient privacy) has had issues with breathing sine she was seven months old. Prior to adjustmetns, she was treating allergies and asthma with multiple medications, steroids, inhalers, and nebulizer treatments. Since seeing Dr. Bob, Rachel has been able to greatly reduce the medicines she is on. She now only takes Singulair and uses her inhaler and nebulizer as needed. The exacerbation of her asthma has been less often and she rarely needs to be on oral steroids, which in the past have been quite frequent.

The immune and respiratory systems depend upon normal communication from the brain and spinal cord throughout the body. A disruption in the communication can contribute to malfunctions in body systems, ending in allergies!
