Sinus and Allergies

Allergies got you down?

Allergies occur when the body's defense system—the immune system—is hypersensitive to a harmless substance, called an allergen, and treats this substance as if it were a harmful or foreign invader. Attempting to defend itself against the allergen—a substance like pollen, dust, mold, smoke, or pet dander (scales of skin)—the body produces an antibody (a type of protein), which results in symptoms like itchy, watery eyes, a runny or stuffy nose, scratchy throat, and sneezing. In more severe allergic reactions, rashes, hives, a drop in blood pressure, difficulty breathing or even death can occur.

How does chiropractic help with Sinus and Allergies?

Chiropractors can help your sinus and allergy problems by ensuring proper function of the nervous system. Mucous membranes are controlled by the brain, the brain sends signals from the nervous system to your mucous membranes.

A subluxation can cause interference between your brain and your mucous membrane. A spinal adjustment can correct a subluxation therefore enhancing the communication from your brain to your mucous membranes .

Before seeing Dr. Matt, I would throw my back out every 6 months or so. All I would need to do is step wrong, pick up something incorrectly, or sneeze too hard, and that would be it. On top of that. my back and neck would constantly be aching. Since I starting going to Dr. Matt not only has the achiness almost totally gone away, but I have not thrown my back out at all--and there have been times when I know that I would have if I wasn't going to him regularly. I recommend him to anyone I know who has join/muscle problems and wants to feel better.

Dr. Matt Rocks!!! He's the only dr. that I have seen (and I've seen my fair share of drs.) that has been able to keep me competing in my triathlons with no real injuries. I had knee surgery 2 1/2 years ago and the pain keeps coming back, but Dr. Matt is able to work his magic and keeps me running! Thank you Dr. Matt!

I have been a patient of Dr. Hartsburg for over a year now. His high level of content knowledge in terms of the human body and physiological responses to training is immense. Dr. Hartsburg has also worked with me on several physical issues that I have run into over the last year plus with great responses. Keep up the great work!

After having whiplash from a car accident, neck problems, back problems etc. Dr. Matt is the only doctor that has made me feel better. For over 5 yrs of seeing specialists with no relief, I was introducted the Dr. Matt. And Thank God. As a golf instructor I need my body to be in some decent shape....after just a few visits, Dr. Matt got me better than that, I Feel Great. Thanks.
