No one else has your exact allergy profile and no one else has your medical history. No other person lives on your budget, shares your schedule, or works toward your goals.

Your specific treatment plan may include a unique combination of the following allergy treatment options. These options can be fine-tuned for year-round and seasonal allergy treatments.

Allergy Medications: Addressing the Symptoms

Allergy symptoms are the most difficult aspects of your condition because they have the greatest impact on your daily life. Medication can be an effective solution to help reduce or eliminate mild, moderate, and severe allergy symptoms. Medications are not new, many have been safely treating symptoms for decades. Clinical research has also helped bring new generations of medications that have improved effectiveness in treating symptoms such as:

• Sneezing
• Itching
• Swelling
• Headache
• Nasal/head congestion
• Chest congestion

Medications can be safe and often provide quick relief.

They also contribute to your overall quality of life by reducing the allergen’s impact on your daily activities. Modern clinical research has given us many options including decongestants, corticosteroids, and antihistamines that target specific symptoms and come in many forms, including:

• Nasal spray
• Skin cream
• Pill/Capsule
• Liquid solution
• Eye drops Inhalers

Allergy treatment medicine is a safe, effective, and budget-friendly solution that can fit within your overall plan of action. Medication can be a short-term solution to manage symptoms or a long-term program to help your overall wellness. Any treatment plan that involves medication will involve an extensive look at your medical history to ensure that it does not impact other underlying conditions or cause side effects. Our team will take everything into account and give you the guidance that you need to make the most informed and goal-oriented decision for your allergy needs.

Immunotherapy: Going Beyond Symptom Relief

Your immune system protects you every moment of every day from any number of germs, bacteria, pollutants, and other foreign substances that can cause damage to your body. However, this protective system sometimes reacts to a harmless substance. The body’s response to this harmless substance is the swelling, itching, sneezing, and other reactions that we commonly refer to as an allergy attack. If your goal is to reduce or eliminate your underlying allergies then we must reprogram the body to respond appropriately to harmless substances.

To have effective immunotherapy, you must have a plan that specifically targets your exact allergy issues. After detailed testing, you have the option to choose the specific treatment plan that works for your unique situation.

Allergy Shots

The most common and oldest form of allergy therapy involves allergy shots. This option has been safely used for more than a century and has provided relief for generations of allergy sufferers.

Each treatment injection is a customized mixture of allergens that are specific to you. The amount of the allergen is critical because there must be just enough to prompt an immune response, but not enough to trigger an attack.

Treatment plans involving shots will require regular visits to the doctor’s office so that your shots can be safely given by a medical professional. This is critical to ensuring that the dose is delivered correctly as well as to protect you from a rare adverse reaction. Allergy shot needles are very small and there is very little discomfort. Shots can result in quick symptom reduction which may be noticed after just a few treatments. Eventually, you will begin to experience long-term relief and in some cases total elimination of allergies is possible.
