Allergies are the result of an overreaction of the immune system. When an allergy sufferer encounters allergens in the environment, his or her immune system reacts in a manner that causes the allergy symptoms we recognize. At Health Quest Chiropractic, we use spinal adjustment to improve the functioning of the central nervous system and control the body’s reactions to encounters with allergens.

Chiropractors believe that failure of the central nervous system is the source of all malfunctions within the body, including allergies. Misalignments of the spine can contribute to these malfunctions, by inhibiting proper communication between the brain and the rest of the body. Spinal adjustment is an all-natural, holistic technique that helps realign the vertebrae and return the spine to a healthy position. This technique prevents the bad signals from the brain that cause the body’s negative reaction to allergens. Over time, spinal adjustment can reduce allergy symptoms, decrease the body’s sensitivity to allergens and enable the body to function normally, even when allergens are prevalent in the environment.
