Allergies

Millions of people suffering from a wide variety of conditions, allergies included, have benefited from chiropractic care even though chiropractic is not an allergy treatment. Why? Because chiropractic is a method of health care that permits your body to function at its best. That is especially important if you suffer from allergies.

But first, let's find out, what is an allergy? Your immune system keeps you 100% natural, organic, unadulterated you! It recognizes and destroys anything not supposed to be in you: bacteria, viri, pollutents, dust, pollen, drugs, tumors, dead pieces of your own cells, and even artificial hearts and donor organs (Metal & plastic, however, don't trigger an immune reaction). A healthy immune system means high resistance to disease and infection, better ability to deal with stress, and greater health and well-being.

Your immune system is influenced by your nerves and hormones, by your diet and by emotional stress. If unhealthy, your immune system may fail to recognize and remove abnormal cells (such as cancers); may not overcome infection; may overreact to foreign substances (bee stings, penicillin, food or drugs); become depressed (as in AIDS) or even attack itself!

By releasing stress on the nervous system, chiropractic permits the immune system to function more effectively - something all allergy sufferers need. A nervous system without stress functions more efficiently. Recent understandings in psychoneuroimmunology reveal that when the nervouse system functions better the immune system benefits.
