When Your Body Overreacts: Understanding Allergy Symptoms

Allergic reactions happen when your immune system mistakes a harmless substance, like pollen or dust, for a dangerous invader. This triggers a chain reaction in your body, leading to unpleasant symptoms.

These symptoms can show up in various places:

Nose and sinuses: Itchy, stuffy nose, sneezing, and a runny nose.
Lungs and airways: Wheezing, coughing, and trouble breathing (common in asthma attacks triggered by allergies).
Skin: Hives, rashes, itching, or swelling.
Stomach and intestines: Nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, or diarrhea.
Eyes: Itchy, watery, or red eyes.
In rare cases, allergies can lead to a life-threatening reaction called anaphylaxis. This requires immediate medical attention.

If you suspect you or your child has allergies, an allergist can be your best friend. Allergists are doctors with specialized training in diagnosing and managing allergies. They can help you identify what's causing your allergies and create a treatment plan to keep you feeling your best.

You might be familiar with the term "allergy season." But unlike the usual seasons, this one refers to specific times when certain allergies act up.

Spring, summer, fall, and winter – each brings its own allergy woes. Whether you're an allergy sufferer all year round, or experience flare-ups during specific times consider talking to a healthcare professional about managing your allergies.

Schedule your colonoscopy today!

Screen for colon cancer. If you're age 45 or older and at average risk of colon cancer — you have no colon cancer risk factors other than age — your doctor may recommend a colonoscopy every 10 years. If you have other risk factors, your doctor may recommend a screening sooner. A colonoscopy is one of a few options for colon cancer screening. Talk with your doctor about the best options for you.

Granger Medical Clinic Welcomes Associates in Colon and Re**al Surgery!

Please help us to welcome Steven K. Stoker, DO, our new Orthopedics & Sports Medicine at Alta View Sports Medicine Sandy and Draper.

Dr. Stoker is a fellowship-trained Orthopedic surgeon who treats degenerative and disabling conditions of the hip and knee. He joined Granger Medical after completing an adult reconstruction fellowship at the CORE Institute in Phoenix Arizona. He completed his orthopedic surgery residency through Michigan State at McLaren Oakland Hospital in Pontiac Michigan. He completed medical school at Midwestern University in Glendale Arizona. He and his wife are Utah natives and are happy to be back in the Wasatch front!

Dr. Stoker’s aim is to help patients decrease pain, improve quality of life, and regain independence. This can be achieved through non-operative modalities such as medications, injections, and physical therapy as well as surgically through hip and knee replacement procedures. He performs total hip replacements through the anterior or posterior approach depending on the patient’s situation. He is a proponent of kinematic alignment techniques for total knee arthroplasty. He also performs partial knee replacements in appropriate patients. He uses robotics for hip and knee procedures but can also perform them through conventional means.

Dr. Stoker graduated from Brigham Young University with bachelor’s and master’s degrees in information systems. He then worked as a software developer for 3 years building electronic medical record systems at a startup in Sandy Utah. His goal since high school was to become an orthopedic surgeon but felt that experience in technology would allow him to become a better surgeon.

Dr Stoker and his amazing wife have five boys. As could be imagined, their house is never quiet. Their boys are very active in sports and martial arts. The Stoker family enjoys the outdoors. They also have a goal of visiting all 50 states and getting to as many national parks as they can. The two family dogs frequently go on family adventures. The Stoker family spends as much time as they can together and will often be found playing board/card games, playing pick-up family sports games, or doing a nerdy project.
