woman enjoying natureDuring summer, we enjoy the longer days and warm temperatures but unfortunately, this season can also trigger allergies. Breathing in pollen, dust mites and other allergens releases a chemical in the body’s cells called histamine, which can cause common allergy symptoms like sneezing, runny nose and itchy eyes.

While medication is a common remedy, these allergy treatments come with side effects and potential long-term complications. Fortunately, natural approaches can help you manage summer allergies. Learn how chiropractic care can be an effective holistic solution.

The Role of Chiropractic Care

Chiropractors work to address the root cause of a condition, rather than just treat the symptoms. The central nervous system, which houses the brain, spinal cord and a network of nerves, controls and coordinates all bodily functions, including the immune response.

When the spine is misaligned, it can negatively impact the nervous system and lead to a heightened sensitivity to allergens. Chiropractic treatment focuses on removing nerve interferences in the spine to enhance nervous system function, reduce inflammation and restore balance in the body.

Gentle Adjustments for Natural Immunity

Chiropractic adjustments are a gentle and non-invasive solution for people of all ages. Spinal manipulation promotes overall health and well-being, including the body’s resistance to allergens. During an adjustment, controlled force is applied to a spinal joint to restore motion and improve function. The lymphatic system is also activated, which helps protect your body from infection.

By restoring proper nerve function, helping the flow of lymphatic fluid and ensuring the body’s systems are working in harmony, chiropractic care supports your natural ability to heal and respond appropriately to allergens.

Improving Lung Function

Proper lung function is essential for those suffering from allergies. Chiropractic methods help to improve breathing by ensuring the nerves that control the respiratory muscles are functioning correctly. Spinal adjustments can reduce nerve irritation and allergic reactions.

Nutritional Guidance

Chiropractors can also provide nutritional guidance to boost immunity. Certain foods and supplements strengthen the immune system and ease inflammation, helping the body respond more effectively to allergens.

One notable remedy is turmeric, specifically its active compound curcumin. Curcumin has anti-inflammatory properties that can help manage symptoms caused by allergies. Adding turmeric to your diet as a spice or supplement can provide a natural immune system boost.

Drawbacks of Conventional Allergy Medications

While allergy medicines can provide temporary relief, they often come with side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth. Long-term use may lead to more serious complications, including decreased immunity and potential kidney or liver damage.

"I started my chiropractic journey a few weeks before having my 3rd baby. They were amazing, patient and gentle during the pregnancy. They weren't pushy when I took my time, post pregnancy, to come back. They were amazing with my schedule and did everything to work with me. I felt so comfortable with them that I brought my new born baby and my 3 year old in to get adjusted!"

"The administrative staff and practitioners are all friendly, capable, efficient, and very responsive. In addition, Dr. Keith Wade is knowledgeable, passionate about his craft, patient and thorough in answering questions. As a direct result of all that, my low back, ankles an knees feel much better, I am in less pain, and I am less afraid that my back will keep hurting or "going out." I am very grateful."
