How do I know if I have allergies?
Allergies come in many types and categories
Seasonal Allergies
Also called hay fever, seasonal allergies typically occur in spring, summer, and fall. Some common allergens that can trigger seasonal allergies are pollen, grass, and trees. Many people with seasonal allergies experience sneezing, itchy, watery eyes, and a runny nose.
Insect Sting Allergies
If you’re allergic to an insect, such as spiders or bees, you may experience a cough, shortness of breath, redness, and swelling at the site of the sting, hives, or even wheezing.
Food Allergies
The most common food allergies include peanuts, soy, dairy, and shellfish. A food allergy can cause swelling on the tongue, lips, throat, or face, as well as hives and tingling in the mouth.
Medication Allergies
Many people are allergic to antibiotics, anti-inflammatory pain medications, or aspirin. If you’re allergic to a medication, you can develop itchy skin, redness, hives, wheezing, a rash, or even facial swelling.
Another dangerous allergy symptom is anaphylaxis. This is a rare but life-threatening symptom that can lead to loss of consciousness, nausea, vomiting, low blood pressure, and a weak pulse.
There are many medications, nasal sprays, and topical creams that can treat allergy symptoms. However, chiropractic treatments are whole-body care that aims to eliminate your allergy.
Chiropractic care focuses on improving the link between your body’s immune system and nervous system through mild adjustments. This can help restore communication between your brain and immune system, which strengthens your immune system while reducing stress.
With your immune system strengthened, it lowers the number of antibodies that your body produces when you come in contact with an allergen.
