You may be familiar with the fact that Chiropractic adjustments can improve many conditions. Allergies is one of those conditions!
What causes allergies?
Your immune system has a task to recognize and remove harmful substances from your body. Inflammation, sneezing, coughing, & vomiting are methods the immune system uses to rid the body of dangerous substances. An allergic response is when your immune system is activated to fight against a substance that is usually considered harmless. The allergic reaction is caused not by the substance itself, but by how your body reacts to this substance. The body reacts by trying to rid the body of these seemingly harmful substances by coughing, sneezing, creating inflammation, etc.
How Chiropractic care can help?
Chiropractic Care can release the nervous system which allows the immune system to work more efficiently. The immune system depends on correct communication between the brain & the spinal cord to control & coordinate their functions. If there is an interruption in the communication system, such as a subluxation (misalignment), the immune system may become compromised.
When an immune system is functioning optimally it helps prevent disease & infection, & also helps you to deal with stress and essentially makes sure the body is healthy overall. It attacks the invasion of foreign substances like pollution, dust, and pollen and heads them off before they do damage.
Subluxations (misalignments in the spine) can disrupt how the brain communicates with the rest of the body. Through adjustments, pathways between the brain & spine can be opened up again and the body’s alignment can be restored.
The Takeaway
Chiropractic adjustments do not treat allergies or the immune system. The adjustments eliminate interference to the nervous system to allow the body to function the way it was designed to.
Chiropractic care helps realign the spine thus opening the necessary pathways of communication between the brain and the spine, in turn, allowing the body to heal itself.
Evidence proves that the solution to most allergy problems already exists within the body.
If you know anyone who suffers from allergies, and may be looking for a more natural route than medicine to handle them, let them know that Chiropractic may be the answer they are looking for! If they are local, I’d love to help them. If they are not, let me know where they live and I can find someone they can get care from.
