How Chiropractic Can Help Your Allergies
By Sara Butler
Spring is one of the best times of the year. The sun is out and shining, the weather is getting warmer, and the flowers are starting to bloom. But it’s that last thing that can put a real damper on some people’s enjoyment of the season because allergies can be a terrible affair for a lot of people. Lucky for you, your chiropractor at The Joint is here to help you with your seasonal allergies!
The Symptoms of Seasonal Allergies
Symptoms of seasonal allergies can be mild or they can be severe, it really just depends on your body and how it reacts to the allergens in the environment. The most common symptoms of seasonal allergies include:
- Sneezing
- Runny nose
- Itchy eyes
- Congestion
When these symptoms become chronic and interrupt your daily life, then it’s time to seek help – and your chiropractor is just the person to help you.
Traditional Allergy Treatments
Traditional treatments for seasonal allergies help some people, but the real problem with them is that they merely mask the symptoms you’re experiencing. They don’t address the underlying problem that is causing you to have symptoms; they often have serious side effects associated with them. That’s why a natural cure is what you should strive for, and that’s something chiropractic care may just be able to provide.
Chiropractic Care for Allergies
Your nervous system controls everything in your body – absolutely everything. Your nervous system adapts to the world around you and acts accordingly to it. When it comes to allergies, that’s an overreaction by your body to the environment and it’s not normal, even though it’s something many people have to deal with. By focusing on the health of your nervous system, then you may react differently to your environment – even to allergies.
When your chiropractor adjusts your spine, they are removing joint dysfunctions and restrictions. That means that your nervous system can work at its best, free of restrictions that don’t allow it to function at its optimal level. This can cause your body to respond differently to environmental allergens you are exposed to, hopefully not reacting in a way that makes you sick!
When you combine chiropractic care with a healthy lifestyle and healthy diet, then you can deal your allergies a deadly blow. So, enjoy spring more with the help of your chiropractor!
