Allergy Relief with Chiropractic Treatment

The changing of the seasons is both a wondrous and beautiful time. Unfortunately, it also brings seasonal allergies. For patients with severe allergies, autumn can be downright miserable. Dr. Jay McClanahan of Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center has a solution. Your Nitro, WV, chiropractor provides allergy treatment. This is a natural alternative that works just as well as pharmaceuticals.

You may not realize it, but your immune and nervous systems are directly connected. Your immune system is thrust into overdrive during allergy season. This throws your entire body off-balance. After a thorough examination at your first appointment, Dr. McClanahan will likely suggest spinal adjustments. Realigning your spine brings your body back into harmony.

Your nervous system is housed throughout your spine. It allows communication between your brain and everywhere else. That’s why a spinal subluxation requires quick treatment. A spinal blockage creates a communication barrier. Your allergies and other conditions worsen. Your Nitro, WV, treats this with spinal manipulation. Using either his hands or a small tool, he pushes the misaligned areas back into place.

Stress levels also aggravate your allergies. When you’re stressed, your adrenal glands go into overtime. It’s harder for you to regulate your bodily reaction to allergens. A spinal realignment helps reduce cortisol, the stress hormone.

Making lifestyle changes help as well. When you exercise, you strengthen your respiratory system. It reduces the effects of environmental allergens. Your respiratory system is the most affected by the changing of the seasons. It contains your ears, throat, nose, and lungs.

Don’t let allergies keep you from enjoying this fall! With chiropractic treatment provided by Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center, this season will be the best yet! To schedule an appointment with Dr. Jay McClanahan, visit his website or call 304-776-1520.
