Allergies – An Alternative to Medications with Chiropractic and the ‘Cold’ Laser

It has been my observation that no matter what season it is here in the Valley of the Sun, it is ‘allergy season.’

A healthy immune system means high resistance to disease and infection, better ability to deal with stress, and greater health and well-being. Many things influence how well your immune sys­tem functions: your nerves and hormones, your diet, your genes and your emotions. The most common immune system disorder is the allergy. Allergies occur when the immune system overreacts to an allergen (dust, pollen, milk, dog or cat dander, strawberries, etc,) and produces too many neutralizing chem­icals (especially histamines) to counteract it.

Conventional medicine has no cure for allergies, only treatment of symptoms. Because runny eyes, irritation, redness, fullness in the sinuses and other allergy symptoms are caused by histamines, antihistamines are often prescribed to dry mucous membranes. However, antihistamines can cause serious heart problems and should not be used with alcohol, sedatives or tranquilizers. Also, steroid nasal sprays can damage the cilia in the nose and upper respiratory tract and affect the adrenal gland.

Allergy sufferers have praised chiropractic care for over a century. Chiropractic care is not a treatment for allergies, however. The goal of chiropractic care is to locate and correct a serious type of spine and nervous system stress called the vertebral subluxation. By releasing stress on the nervous system, chiropractic permits the immune system to function more effectively – something all allergy sufferers need since a nervous system with less stress functions more efficiently.

Your nervous and immune systems are interrelated and the health of one affects the health of the other. In addition to chiropractic care, the LazrPulsr ‘cold’ laser has protocols specifically targeting allergies.  We find the combination to be very effective for those who have sought our assistance. Imagine what life would be like without the additional aggravation caused by allergies.

If you or a loved one are plagued by allergies of any sort, doesn’t it make sense to investigate a non-invasive answer to the misery you are suffering?  Call today for an appointment to see if we can help you.

Getting rid of your pain,
