Spring season brings pollen allergies:

People with pollen allergies only have symptoms when the pollens they are allergic to are in the air. Symptoms include: Runny nose (also known as rhinorrhea – this is typically a clear, thin nasal discharge) Stuffy nose (due to blockage or nasal congestion – one of the most common and troublesome symptoms).
To avoid pollen allergies, Use a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration system in your house to clear the air of allergies. Change filters on your heating/air conditioning system often, especially during peak pollen season. Avoid outdoor tasks — especially gardening and lawn mowing — that expose you to high pollen concentrations.

Spring is here.

We are finally in the midst of spring! The spring is a refreshing time of year, but unless you've been getting regular chiropractic care, your body might not be ready for it. Spring health challenges are caused by changing temperatures and seasonal allergies. Learn how to adjust to the warmer weather and get moving.
Since we spend more time outdoors, many of us also suffer from seasonal allergies. Did you know chiropractic care can enable you to avoid seasonal allergies? Working toward improving the spine's health helps boost the health of the central nervous system and, therefore, of the immune system. A healthy immune system may be more capable of fighting allergies. As allergies are caused by your immune system overreacting, keeping it strong and healthy will help you overcome seasonal allergies.
