Chiropractic and Allergies
Allergies are a response by the body’s immune system to an allergen, which can be anything from pollen to pet dander to certain foods. Symptoms can include sneezing, itching, hives, and more severe reactions like anaphylaxis.
What is Chiropractic?
- Chiropractic is based on the understanding that the body is self-healing and self-regulating, directed by the nervous system.
- The nervous system is the body’s communication system, carrying messages between the brain and every muscle, organ, and tissue.
- The spine protects these nerves, and when spinal bones lose proper alignment or motion, they can interfere with nerve communication.
- This interference is called a vertebral subluxation, and it can disrupt how the body functions, adapts, and heals—often before pain is felt.
- Chiropractors locate, analyze, and adjust vertebral subluxations to reduce nerve interference and restore clearer brain-body communication.
- When communication improves, function improves, allowing the body to express health and life more fully.
How can chiropractic help people with allergies?
- By locating and adjusting vertebral subluxations, chiropractors help reduce or remove interference within the nervous system.
- When interference to the nervous system is reduced, communication between the brain and the body can function more clearly and efficiently.
- When brain-body communication improves, the body is better able to function, adapt, and heal.
What are some of the other benefits of chiropractic care?
- Greater capacity to handle life’s demands
- Improved adaptability and resilience
- Optimized whole body function
- Greater vitality and energy
- Unlocking your life potential
What does the research say?
- A case study published in the Annals of Vertebral Subluxation Research found that chiropractic care can help to reduce allergy symptoms in children. The study found that 100% of the children who received chiropractic care experienced an improvement in their allergy symptoms.
- Another study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that chiropractic care can help to reduce the severity of allergic reactions in patients.
- A survey conducted by the International Chiropractors Association found that 87% of chiropractors have seen a reduction in allergy symptoms with their patients.
