Chiropractic Care for Allergies

Allergies are often treated with chiropractic care. Many allergic and asthmatic reactions are caused by hypersensitivity of the immune system and/or respiratory system. Researchers have found that the immune and respiratory systems depend on normal communication from the brain and spinal cord to control and coordinate their functions.

If your neck is misaligned, it could cause an imbalance in your nervous system function. This upper cervical spinal joint irritation could possibly produce or exaggerate asthmatic and allergic symptoms. While many asthma and allergy sufferers recall specific traumas (e.g., head injuries, auto accidents, or falls) which could have injured their upper cervical spines, some do not.

The chiropractors at Hickory Chiropractic Clinic can perform an upper cervical examination and determine if an allergic reaction could be helped by chiropractic care. Ask Dr. Smith or Dr. deWitt how chiropractic care can help with your allergies! Contact us today.
