Allergies and Acupuncture
Allergic rhinitis is due to an over-reactivity of the immune system to certain allergens. Seasonal allergies are induced by wind-born trees, mold spores, grass, w**d, and pine pollen. Allergy symptoms can cause such symptoms as: sneezing; nasal congestion; runny nose; watery, burning, itchy, or red eyes; headaches; fatigue; and sometimes coughing and wheezing. When allergens and antibodies react in individuals with rhinitis, their nasal mucosa becomes swollen and may obstruct drainage from the sinuses causing infection in many people. Thus, sinus infections are a frequent complication and consequence of allergic rhinitis.
Chinese medicine can help bring relief of symptoms, correct imbalances of the immune system, prevent the occurrence of infection, and allow healing of tissues of the sinuses. Acupuncture offers allergy sufferers a way to strengthen their bodies and significantly reduce their symptoms, without unpleasant side effects. You do not have to spend another season suffering with allergies.

Why choose our treatment plan?
1. Yes. A skilled acupuncturist will be able to diagnose the root problem and not just the symptoms to uncover the underlying condition that is allowing the allergy to take hold in the body.

2. Good candidates include those affected by seasonal allergies like pollen, grasses, mold. Also, those allergic to dander, dust, and other lesser-known pathogens.

3. Acupuncture aids in allowing your body to naturally heal itself and withstand harmful pathogens by strengthening the immune system and decreasing inflammation overall.

4. Acupuncture works by stimulating specific regions of the autonomic nervous system. This stimulation causes a reaction from the immune system. We recommend starting treatment for allergies 1-3 months before the season commences to allow enough time for the immune system to strengthen.

5. At O’Keefe Chiropractic Center, our acupuncturists are highly skilled and trained therapists that listen to our patients and ask questions to deduce the right course of treatment for the individual patient. This diligence is the cornerstone of the acupuncture program at O’Keefe Chiropractic Center.
