Newport Beach Chiropractor: Chiropractic Care and Allergies

An article from the Internet Journal of Orthopedic Surgery in 2004 covers the relationship between immune dysfunction and vertebral misalignment.

"Among 120 atopic dermatitis patients who received spinal correction treatments every day, 106 [88%] showed improvement in skin itching and 86 [72%] showed improvement in skin condition. Among 240 atopic dermatitis patients who did not receive spinal correction treatments every day, we could not obtain a sure treatment effect. As a result of the questioning about the diurnal quantity change of adrenal cortex hormone secretion to 1,699 patients, the adrenal cortex function of these patients may be in the decline condition. We obtained over 70% improvement in allergic symptoms"

In simple terms chronic misalignments of the spine (more specifically neck and upper back) cause chronic nerve compression that can significantly effect the immune system function. Once the immune system is not functioning at it's best, allergies and other inflamatory diseases are more likely to occur.

Consistent chiropractic care helps with not only neck and back pain, headaches and migraines, it also helps patients with allergies. Chiropractic care helps remove interference with the nervous system and help you achieve overall optimal health.
