Understanding Allergies 

Allergies are simply an overreaction of your immune system. Although people do not often think of their allergy issues this way, it is true. Your immune system is designed to identify a dangerous foreign invader in your body and attack it. When you have an allergy to something, it means that your immune system has a short circuit and will attempt to attack something that is actually quite harmless, like pollen. The immune system is controlled by the nervous system. So, to fine-tune problems with the immune system, you must start with the nervous system.

The Chiropractic Care Link 

This is where chiropractic care can come in and help. The nervous system cannot operate correctly if the spine is out of alignment. A misaligned spine will cause nervous system messages to misfire as well. These misfires will eventually start to interfere with healthy functions and can lead to worse allergy symptoms. Although spinal adjustments cannot cure allergies, getting your nervous system working at top efficiency will start to improve your health on all fronts. Our chiropractic team can also talk with you about supplements that can help with allergy symptoms such as vitamin C and vitamin D.
