Achieving Sunny Days, Even With Allergies

By Donna Stark

Millions of people look forward to the end of March because it generally means the dark days of winter are about to turn into the sunny days of spring. But for some people, a different kind of darkness steps in and takes the place of the winter one. And unfortunately, this darkness has nothing to do with the sun's rays. Instead, it has to do with the way seasonal allergies make your feel. If you suffer from seasonal allergies and know what I am talking about, come on in to The Joint Chiropractic for help!

Symptoms of Seasonal Allergies

For many people, seasonal allergies are nothing more than a mild annoyance, but for others, those same allergies can really affect their ability to live a comfortable life. Take a look at the varying degrees of symptoms a person may experience.

• Runny nose
• Nasal congestion
• Sneezing and coughing
• Watery, itchy eyes
• Sore throat
• Fatigue and low energy
• Sinus pressure or pain
• Headaches and migraines

Chiropractic Care for Seasonal Allergies

Although allergy symptoms can vary from person to person, there is a treatment that can help all. Regular chiropractic adjustments are an effective way to alleviate and reduce the severity of allergy symptoms. By improving the communication between the nervous, immune, and respiratory systems, the body is able to function more effectively and as a result, can handle those allergy symptoms a lot better. Take a look at the following examples.

• Allergens are expelled from the body easier
• Histamine levels are controlled
• Cortisol production is regulated
• Pain and discomfort are reduced

Things You Can Try, Too

If you have been trying to overcome spring allergies go ahead and give chiropractic care a try, but don't forget that there are several things you can do on your own as well. Here are some suggestions.

• Stay indoors when the pollen count is high
• Keep your windows closed
• Clean all air filters in your home
• Take a shower and change your clothes after being outside
• Change bed linens regularly
• Vacuum all carpeted areas
• Wash hands and keep them away from your face
