My doctor informed me that I have chronic sinusitis and that requires surgery. I told my brother who suggested his Chiropractor. I never even thought of Chiropractor as an option. After treatment and therapy I am noticing the sinus problems are going away. I am just happy to avoid surgery.

What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a natural healing medical science, art and physical therapy, used in the United States for over one hundred years that focuses on preventing disease and maintaining health. There are over 60,000 chiropractors actively practicing in the United States today and over 30 million Americans receiving care through chiropractic clinics.

Chiropractors focus on the body's “innate” (inborn and natural) strengths and defenses to heal itself without the use of drugs or surgery. They believe that misaligned vertebrae, referred to as subluxation, can interfere with normal body function, and if left uncorrected, can result in muscle and/or organ dysfunction, and other imbalances.

A chiropractor will determine after an initial exam, consultation, and in many cases X-Rays, if the patient's complaints can be alleviated and or controlled through chiropractic care. If patient and doctor agree that chiropractic care is an option, the chiropractor will begin to treat the patient to help restore the misaligned vertebrae back to normal position, allowing the body to heal itself naturally and maintain normal functioning.

 Although chiropractic is not particularly an allergy treatment, chiropractor successfully uses chiropractic techniques to help patient’s better deal with their allergies. Chiropractic treatments enable patients' bodies to function at their best - that is particularly important for allergy sufferers.

Your immune system recognizes and kills anything that is not supposed to be in your body - bacteria, virus, pollutants, dust, pollen, drugs, tumors, etc. A healthy immune system provides high resistance to disease and infection, better ability to deal with stress and greater health and well-being. However, your immune system can be adversely affected by nerves and hormones, diet and emotional stress. If unhealthy, your immune system may:

• Stop working to recognize and eradicate abnormal cells, such as cancers.
• Not be able to prevail over infection.
• React excessively to foreign substances (insect stings, penicillin, foods or drugs).
• Become down in the dumps.
• Attack own body, as it does in certain autoimmune diseases.

The most common immune system mess is the allergic reaction. Allergic reactions occur when the immune system react excessively to an allergen, such as dust, pollen or certain foods, and produces too many neutralizing chemicals, such as histamines, to counteract it. No one knows for certain what causes allergies and there is no cure.

The Medical way of dealing with Allergies

Since there is no cure for allergies, orthodox medicine can only offer treatment for symptoms. According to Chiropractors "You can only treat for allergic reactions, the treatment is often worse than the disease, especially since the relatively safe medicines of yesteryear have been replaced by the sophisticated, dangerous drugs of modern medicine called steroids"

Histamines cause runny nose, irritated eyes, redness, fullness in the sinuses and other allergy symptoms, antihistamines are often prescribed to dry mucus membranes. However, antihistamines can cause serious heart and digestive problems and should not be used with alcohol, sedatives or tranquilizers. Chiropractic approach provides a drug-free alternative to allergy treatment.

The Chiropractic way of dealing with Allergies

By releasing stress from the nervous system, chiropractic care permits the immune system to function more effectively - something that all allergy sufferers need. A nervous system without stress functions more efficiently. Recent understandings in psychoneuroimmunology reveal that when the nervous system functions better the immune system benefits.

Chiropractor will correct the basic causes of body malfunction to improve the function of your immune system. Free from nervous system stress, your body will work more effectively to neutralize the allergy-causing chemicals in your environment. A Chiropractor says "A healthy body is capable of neutralizing these toxic substances and a body which has malfunctioning defense mechanisms cannot. The emphasis on allergies must be on building a healthy body, not on trying to use evasive tactics by eliminating all the allergies."
