Chiropractor Costa Mesa offers a surprising solution for your allergies: Everyday life can be miserable when you have allergies. A walk in the garden, a play date with Fluffy, a shellfish stew, or even something as small as a nut can cause such unwelcome symptoms as itchy eyes, a runny nose, sneezing, or a skin rash. To make things worse, for some of us allergic reactions can go from just plain irritating to dangerous and life-threatening as our air passageway constricts and we have a hard time breathing. It may even seem to you, from time to time, that your environment is a pretty hostile place and that the world around you is, in fact, out to get you!
Why does your body react, or rather overreact, to the environment with such a severe allergic reaction while other people seem unaffected? It’s a valid question. The answer is that some people, like you, have a hyperactive immune system that literally “freaks out” when they are confronted with common substances such as pollen, dander, shellfish, or nuts.
Have you been wondering if your chiropractor can help your allergies? The answer may surprise you. Even though chiropractic care doesn’t treat allergies, quite a few individuals notice that they experience ease from their allergy symptoms after receiving chiropractic adjustments. This relief occurs because chiropractic adjustments affect the entire nervous system, including the autoimmune system. When there’s an impedance in the nervous system, in conjunction with other problems, the autoimmune system, whose task it is to assist us in adapting and responding appropriately to our environment, can become under-active or overactive. The problem is the latter when it comes to your allergies. Since chiropractic manipulations decrease or take away 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 strong immune system reacts appropriately to supposed allergens in the environment.
So, as pointed out above, your chiropractor doesn’t directly treat allergies. You could say, instead, that relief 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.
