Overcome Seasonal Allergies

With warmer weather comes allergies, and pollen coats everything outside. Millions of people suffer from seasonal allergies, and some are so severely affected that they cannot participate in outdoor activities. Learn how you can avoid sneezing and sniffling with natural allergy relief through chiropractic care.

Maintain A Healthy Immune System to Overcome Seasonal Allergies

The immune system aids your body in fighting foreign substances (allergens) that cause histamine or inflammation within you. However, there are cases when your immune system attacks harmless allergens, such as dust and pollen, and builds an unnecessary defense with antibodies, causing the allergic reaction.

Most people don’t realize that their nervous system controls every bodily function, including their immune system. Your nervous system transmits information to your brain that controls your body’s functions, regulates your movements, and even coordinates with your organs. Your body cannot function properly when the information supplied to your brain is incomplete or cut off entirely. The most obvious culprit that information from flowing to your brain is subluxations (misalignments) in the spine. By interfering with your nervous system, these subluxations weaken your immune system’s ability to function correctly. When your immune system is underperforming, you can overreact to allergens and overproduce mucus, leading to sinus infections, upper respiratory infections, and digestive issues.

You might not immediately think of a chiropractor if you are dealing with allergies, but it is something to consider as you seek natural allergy relief.
