Do Springtime Allergies Cause You to Cringe?
By Donna Stark
It's always nice to look forward to the gardens, flowering trees, and lush green grass in the springtime, but the April showers that bring May flowers may actually cause you to cringe if you suffer from seasonal allergies. In fact, they will often make you do more than just cringe, because as much as you would like to appreciate the beauty exploding all around you, it's hard to do when you feel nothing but your own explosions going on in your body, isn't it? Fortunately, you can find some help and get through this season of misery by seeing your local chiropractors at The Joint Chiropractic!
Symptoms of Spring Allergies
April showers contribute to springtime allergies by supporting the growth of all the plants around you, which in turn encourages an increase in grass and pollen, two of the most common allergy triggers. On top of that, those springtime breezes you have grown to love play a huge role in the dispersion of that pollen into the air. As a result, you could end up battling some of the following symptoms.
- Sore throat
- Headache
- Sneezing and coughing
- Itchy, watery eyes
- Nasal congestion
- Dry, itchy skin
- Swelling or discoloration under the eyes
- Fatigue
Chiropractic Care for Relief
When your body is exposed to an allergen, it springs into action right away and attempts to filter out the harmful substance, but it can't do that effectively if your spine is out of alignment. Proper alignment in the body is necessary if you want optimal communication between your nervous, immune, and respiratory systems. And optimal communication is something you absolutely want because that will lead to a more effective response to those miserable symptoms you are dealing with. Here are some of the things you can look forward to with routine chiropractic care.
- Proper alignment in the body
- Manageable response to allergens
- Controlled histamine levels and cortisol production
- Reduced pain and discomfort
- Improved function of the body's major systems
The best part of chiropractic care is that it is an all-natural approach to allergy relief. It can help reduce the symptoms and improve the body's response to seasonal allergies without the use of any medications. In other words, it is safe for people of all ages! So, if your entire family is struggling alongside you, bring them all in to The Joint Chiropractic today! Spring is here and you certainly don't want to miss any of it!
