Your Ventura Chiropractor knows that allergies can make our everyday life a misery. Unwelcome symptoms like itchy eyes, a runny nose, sneezing, or a skin rash can be the consequence of a simple walk in the garden, a play date with Kitty, a seafood pasta, or even something as small as a nut.
To make the situation worse, for some individuals, and perhaps you’re one of them allergic reactions can progress from just plain irritating to dangerous and life-threatening as the air passageway begins to close and breathing becomes labored. This progression of symptoms can commonly cause a state of panic.
In fact, if you have allergies, it may seem that, from time-to-time, your environment is a pretty unfriendly place and that the world around you is, in deed, out to get you!
You may be curious as to why it is that other individuals seem so unaffected by the environment, while your body reacts, or rather overreacts, to it. It’s a great question. The answer is because some individuals, like you, have a hyperactive immune system that literally “freaks out” when you encounter ordinary substances such as pollen, dander, shellfish, or nuts.
Can your Ventura Chiropractor help with your allergy symptoms? The answer may surprise you. Many people have noticed that they experience relief from their allergy symptoms after chiropractic treatment, even though chiropractic care doesn’t actually treat allergies.
The reason for this is because chiropractic adjustments affect the entire nervous system, including the autoimmune system. When there’s an impedance in the nervous system, in addition to other problems, the autoimmune system, whose job it is to help you to adapt and respond appropriately to your environment, can become under-active or overactive. The dysfunction is the latter (overactive) when it comes to your allergies.
Because chiropractic adjustments lessen or take away disturbances in the nervous system and bring back balance and harmony to the body, the adjustments bring that same balance and harmony to the auto-immune system as well. A strong immune system reacts appropriately to so-called allergens in the environment.
So, as mentioned above, your chiropractor doesn’t actually treat allergies. You could say, rather, that ease from your allergies is merely the by-product of a healthy nervous system. If you want to get back into harmony with your environment as soon as possible, make an appointment with Ventura Chiropractor today.
