Chiropractic Care for Seasonal Allergies

By Donna Stark

Fall is a time when most people look forward to heading outdoors and engaging in fun activities, but for those who suffer from seasonal allergies, it can be a time of extreme sadness and frustration too. Being cooped up inside while everyone else is enjoying their outdoor adventures is tough to deal with, but fortunately, there are some things that can help. If you are fighting with seasonal allergies and would like to join in on the fun that everyone else is having, head on in to see your local chiropractors at The Joint Chiropractic. They have some great suggestions to share!

Stay a Step Ahead

It's important to stay a step ahead of any allergen attacks by preparing your body before you head outdoors, and you can naturally do so with regular chiropractic adjustments. Routine chiropractic care reduces the stress on the body's nervous, respiratory, and immune systems and improves their overall functions. By placing your body in proper alignment, communication between your nerves and brain will be more efficient, the quality of your breathing will be improved, and the strength of your immune system will be boosted. All of these benefits will put your body in a much better position to fight against those allergies.

On top of that, your chiropractor can help you determine if any changes need to be made to your daily habits and behaviors. Sometimes, a few tweaks to your lifestyle can make a huge difference in how you feel. Here are two really good suggestions.

• Choose the best time - Even though there are definite times when you probably shouldn't head outdoors, that doesn't mean you can't find time to enjoy the sun. You just have to be smart about it. Before you step outside, be sure to go online and check your local pollen counts. It's best if you plan on heading outdoors when they are at their lowest.
• Clean the allergens off - After enjoying your time outside, the best thing you can do, if it's possible, is to take a shower, wash your hair, and put on a change of clothes. This helps prevent any pollen left on your body from entering your home and continuing to make your life miserable.
