Facts about Allergies
With the increasing industrial revolution, the atmosphere is becoming more toxic, leading to a rapid increase in sensitivities. Smoke, pollen, dander, and other factors all contribute to an immune response.
Many factors contribute to the prevalence of allergies, impacting approximately 40% of adults and 30% of children. Allergies can vary widely in severity and can significantly affect an individual's quality of life, making it essential to understand and manage these conditions effectively.
Allergy treatments cost billions of dollars every year, resulting in increased expenses for Americans due to frequent doctor visits and ongoing treatments.
How Chiropractic Cares for Allergies
Allergies, often attributed to overactive histamine reactions triggered by the immune system, could also be influenced by problems within the nervous system. The presence of subluxations along the thoracic vertebrae can impact the adrenal glands, potentially leading to an exaggerated response to environmental triggers.
This insight suggests that chiropractic care targeting subluxations may offer a unique approach to managing allergies by addressing underlying nervous system imbalances.
