In recent years, chiropractic care has expanded beyond the focus of musculoskeletal issues to explore potential connections between spinal adjustments and one’s health.

Genesis Chiropractic emphasizes the importance of a well-functioning nervous system, as it is believed to play a vital role in maintaining overall health. The spine, a central component of the nervous system, is the primary focus of chiropractic adjustments. Misalignments can hinder the nervous system’s function and, consequently, impact the body’s ability to adapt to stressors, including allergens.

Genesis Chiropractic also utilizes functional medicine to help find the root cause of allergies. Supplements and diet change can help make an impact in addition to traditional chiropractic treatment. 

Dr. Tiffani Fries, DC and the staff at Genesis Chiropractic take a comprehensive approach to help you feel your best. We focus on the balance of the body systems and how the body functions as a whole. Each person is different and as such we create a custom treatment plan for each patient.

At Genesis Chiropractic, we are committed to helping our clients resume their pursuit of health and well-being.

What are allergies?

Allergic reactions start in the immune system. When a person encounters a foreign substance that they are allergic to, the immune system will start overproducing antibodies that go after the allergen.

Can a chiropractor help with allergies?

Chiropractors perform spinal adjustments that can improve the function of the nervous system, which can indirectly affect the immune system. It is thought that a well-functioning nervous system can enhance the body’s ability to adapt to various issues, including allergens.

It is worth noting that allergies are complex immune responses, and their management involves various treatments such as medication, immunotherapy, and diet changes. Because of this, chiropractors typically cannot assist with severe allergies. 

How does functional medicine help allergies?

Functional medicine looks at the whole picture to help discover the root of your allergies and come up with a treatment plan. With a holistic approach, we will incorporate dietary changes, and supplements to address your allergy symptoms to find relief.
