With the early arrival of Spring 2024, allergy sufferers are feeling the impact more intensely than in previous years. At HealthWorks, we're ready to offer assistance. But before delving into how we can help, let's cover some basics.
What exactly are allergies?
Allergies manifest when the environment undergoes a change, typically marked by an increase in tree and grass pollens in the air. This triggers an exaggerated response from the body's immune system in susceptible individuals. Symptoms vary depending on one's sensitivity and the pollen concentration.
Common allergy symptoms include:
Sneezing
Congestion
Runny nose
Itchy, watery eyes
Coughing (in some cases)
How can I distinguishing between allergies, Covid, or other viruses?
Viruses, including Covid, typically induce mild to moderate fevers, fatigue, and body aches, which are not characteristic of seasonal allergies.
So, what measures can be taken to combat allergies?
Keep windows closed, both at home and in the car Utilize allergn filters in your home's air system Regularly vaccuum and clean during spring Avoid drying laundry outside
Upon enteringyour home, remove shoes if pollen is on the ground
Now, how can HealthWorks assist you?
Acupuncture is founded on the concept of modulating the body's functions through the restoration of balance in its systems. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) conceptualizes health as the harmonious interplay of the body's systems and responses. Acupuncture interventions aim to correct imbalances and enhance immune function by leveraging the body's inherent healing mechanisms through the strategic insertion of fine needles at defined anatomical points. This therapeutic approach decreases allergic inflammation by triggering neurophysiological responses within the nervous and muscular systems, thereby fostering natural symptom relief.
Chiropractic care at HealthWorks enhances immune function by addressing spinal misalignments, particularly in the neck region. By facilitating efficient communication between spinal nerves and the brain, chiropractic adjustments regulate the body's immune response to allergens. Moreover, by alleviating pressure on nerves linked to lung function, chiropractic interventions enhance breathing quality.
