Allergy Help from Baltimore Back and Pain Center

Are you a spring allergy sufferer? From pollen to grass to weeds, the airborne allergen levels are sky high in Maryland. Many patients over the years who have sought treatment for back pain (or neck pain, shoulder pain, etc.) have also found the added bonus that their Chiropractic treatments also helped to reduce the severity of their seasonal allergies.

Chiropractic has helped allergy sufferers by aiming to reduce interference to the nervous system by specifically correcting spinal dysfunction or misalignment. A properly functioning immune system is less likely to produce allergy symptoms.

In addition to chiropractic, here are a few other tips to combat seasonal allergies:
  • Try to keep the allergens outside. Pollen can be tracked in on your hair, clothes or your pet.
  • Take an evening shower and change your clothes.
  • Bee pollen or pure raw honey from local producers can help boost your immune system.
  • Nasal irrigation can help wash away allergens.
Since allergy season is in full gear, now is the time to schedule an appointment with Dr. Michael A. Dorn Jr., DC and begin your Chiropractic Allergy Combat Plan with us here at Baltimore Back and Pain Center.
