Chiropractic Adjustments can help with Allergies this spring in Livermore, CA
In my chiropractic office in Livermore, I see many patients suffering from allergies especially this time of year when spring is in full bloom. With the budding flowers and plants come tiny particles which for many people can cause irritation to their airways and sinus cavities. What many of my allergy sufferers find interesting is that their sinuses will clear when I finish adjusting their neck. How is that possible you may wonder? How does an adjustment of the neck help to relieve sinus pressure and congestion?
The answer to this question is tied up to the nerves…literally! Since the nervous system is the master control system of the body, the nerves that pass in between vertebral segments can be pinched by a vertebrae out of alignment. Decrease nerve flow will not allow the signals from the brain go through accurately to the organs. In the upper region of the neck, the nerve supply affects many organs in into the head and face including the sinus cavities. By re-aligning a vertebrae that may be out of place in that region, the nerve flow will be able to return to it’s normal state and therefore allow the sinuses to open up and function more optimally. This phenomenon occurs every day in my office even though most of those patients are not even seeking help for their sinuses. Most of the time, their original complaint they come to see me for is some type of neck discomfort or headache. The added benefit they begin to learn about is the improvement of the functioning of their body by improving the nervous system communication.
