Chiropractic for Allergy Relief - Livingston County Chiropractic

Spring has officially sprung, and that means allergy season is in full bloom. Despite all that we love about spring — warmer weather, longer days, sunshine — this season has many of our patients feeling less than their best, and chiropractic care can help. Itchy, watery eyes, sneezing, and stuffy noses are just a few of the unwanted symptoms that allergy sufferers deal with. If this sounds familiar, here are our suggestions.

OTC Remedies

If you aren’t already taking allergy medication, now might be the time to start. A daily allergy pill can help manage your symptoms are your body heals. Keep in mind that these medications manage the symptoms of seasonal allergies and don’t treat the root cause of the issue.

Spring Cleaning

You aren’t alone in procrastinating spring cleaning, but it can help with allergy symptoms.

Keeping a clean environment won’t eliminate all allergy symptoms, but it can help reduce them. Allergens like pollen cling to your body, hair, and clothes and are often tracked into your home. Be sure to wash your face and hands (though we’ve been doing plenty of that already!), wipe down objects, and sweep or vacuum regularly to keep dust at bay and prevent allergies from acting up.

Chiropractic Care at Livingston County Chiropractic Center

When you think of a chiropractor, you probably think of a doctor for back or neck pain. Most people don’t realize that chiropractic can greatly benefit allergy sufferers and helps people find natural allergy relief. As chiropractors, it is our job to use spinal adjustments to properly align the spine and remove interferences and misalignments. This allows the central nervous system (CNS) to function optimally, which includes the immune system. Allergies are essentially an overreaction of the immune system, so you want to be sure it is as healthy as possible. Many of our patients have shared great results in finding relief from their allergy symptoms with the help of regular chiropractic adjustments.
