Allergies & Sinus Season In Greenville SC

Spring has sprung! And so has allergy season. What we love about flowers blooming, trees growing, and birds chirping can be hard to enjoy when you’re sneezing so much! Contact our Greenville SC chiropractic clinic for relief today.

While most people suffering from allergies reach for a decongestant or antihistamine, those who implement regular chiropractic care see greater benefits - even to the point they may be able to decrease taking prescription or over the counter medications.

• In a study of 360 participants, it was found that those receiving chiropractic care showed a 70% improvement in allergy response.
• In a case study of a 7 year old boy, the patient was able to discontinue allergy and asthma medications (as decided upon by his parents) and the use of his nebulizer after only two weeks of initiating chiropractic care.

Seeing that 10-30% of the total population are affected by seasonal allergies, we’re here to improve your immune system with a non-invasive approach so you can enjoy spring instead of suffering through it.

How Chiropractic Care Improves immune System Function In Greenville SC

Proper function of the immune and respiratory systems depend heavily on proper communication between the brain and spinal cord. Our cervical spine impacts the main “allergy” areas like your nose, nasal passages, ears, and throat.

The benefits of a neurologically based chiropractic adjustment may often be felt immediately, but are also proactive in supporting your immune system all year long by supporting a healthy functioning nervous system. An adjustment restores proper communication between the brain and spine which strengthens the immune system, and can also regulate the amount of histamine and cortisol produced during high allergy season.

Allergic Responses And The Immune System

When our immune system is fighting allergens, our body produces an antibody known as immunoglobulin E (IgE) in response to pollen, pet dander, dust, foods, and then produces the symptoms we know and love (we’re kidding, we hate them) like watery and itchy eyes, a runny nose, and scratchy throat.

Medications control the allergic response and relieve us from symptoms, but they essentially turn off the natural immune response of the body. It can feel strange to THINC differently about how we approach allergies when we’re used to popping an antihistamine, and that’s where THINCing proactively comes in!

THINCing Differently About Allergies

Our goal is always to get to the root cause of the problem, which in the case of allergies is tied to our immune system. Neurologically based chiropractic care provides a holistic approach to our overall health goals, including combating seasonal allergies.

Allergy sufferers often have weak adrenal gland function which is directly fed by the T9 spinal level nerve root. This means a misaligned spine inhibits allergy-fighting hormones, so again, medication only covers up symptoms instead of treating them.

Over time, consistent neurologically based chiropractic care allows the nervous system to function properly, therefore supporting your immune system. Not only does a strong immune system keep you healthy during allergy season, but allows you to fight any disease that you may be exposed to!

If you’d like to trade your stuffy nose for a sunny spring, we’re here to help relieve your allergies and start your journey to THINCing differently.
