As the old saying goes, “spring showers bring May flowers.” What they didn’t add in is that these flowers and budding plant life bring a host of allergens. Springtime allergies can make everyday life miserable. Dr. James Huggins Jr. of Carolina Chiropractic Care, located in Florence, offers chiropractic treatment for allergies.

Your nervous system and immune system are directly connected. Meaning when your nervous system is out of sync, so is your immune system. During allergy season, your immune system goes into overdrive due to the increased amount of allergens. Aligning your spine with regular adjustments improves its functioning levels.
Misalignment in the spine, especially in the neck area, interferes with your body’s main mode of communication. Your Florence chiropractor provides spinal adjustment and manipulations. This restores the blocked pathways. Not only is it good for your joints and soft tissues, but for your immune system as well.
Stress also has a central role in your hypersensitivity to allergens. Constant or chronic stress weakens your adrenal glands. Your body will then have a harder time controlling allergic reactions. Again, spinal adjustments reduce cortisol, the stress hormone, in your body by realigning the spine. The result is improved communication between your adrenal glands and nervous system.
Dr. Huggins Jr. also recommends changing up your dietary and exercise routine. Certain environmental factors and foods can unknowingly trigger your allergies. Improving your respiratory system through exercise strengthens your total body connection. Your respiratory system is the main target of allergens, containing your nose, throat, and lungs.
