Allergies are incredibly common nowadays. According to the Allergy Report from the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, allergies are the sixth leading cause of chronic illness and usually develop during childhood or early adulthood. With more than 20% of Americans suffering from allergies, it’s more important than ever to address the cause of allergies instead of just placing a band-aid on the symptoms.

What We Can Do

How Can Chiropractic Help?

Most people are surprised to hear that chiropractic care can help allergies. So it's important to first understand what causes a person’s body to suffer an allergic reaction in the first place.

Your immune system normally protects your body against harmful viruses and bacteria, as well as foreign matters known as allergens. Allergens are generally benign and don’t really cause problems for most people.

But someone with allergies will have an oversensitive or unhealthy immune system. When it identifies an allergen, the body’s immune system respond by releasing chemicals like histamines. Histamines are what cause allergy symptoms, such as sneezing, coughing, watery eyes and wheezing.

This is why many allergy medications are called “antihistamines”. Allergy medications are the most popular way of coping with the unpleasant effects of an allergic reaction. Unfortunately, antihistamines only address the symptoms of allergies. Not the cause of allergies. More alarming is the fact that antihistamines, if used over a long period of time or are combined with other medications, can be deadly. Recently, Canadian researcher Lorne Brandes, in an article published in the May 1994 Journal of the National Cancer Institute, showed that certain antihistamines make cancerous tumors grow faster in lab rodents.

While chiropractic care doesn’t necessarily “cure” allergies, it can definitely help.
