Do you suffer from allergies in Grand Rapids and are looking for a holistic approach to treatment? Many people mistakenly believe that allergies are solely caused by specific substances like milk, peanuts, pollen, or pet dander. However, if these substances were the root cause, wouldn't everyone exposed to them have an allergic reaction? The reality is that the underlying cause of allergies is more complex, often linked to the body’s overall health and immune system function.
At Knapp Family Chiropractic, we understand that the brain controls all bodily functions and structures through a network of nerves that travel through the spine. These nerves communicate with every part of the body, including the immune system. When there is a misalignment in the spine, it can disrupt this communication, leading to dysfunctions such as allergies.
When the spine is misaligned, it can cause the nerves that support the immune system to become hyperactive. This misalignment can lead to an overreaction to allergens, where a person with a properly aligned spine would not experience any issues. For example, one person might enjoy a seafood meal without any problems, while another might experience severe allergic reactions due to nerve interference caused by vertebral misalignment.
Think of your body's ability to handle stress like a bucket. This bucket can only hold so much stress before it overflows. Stressors such as chemical, emotional, traumatic, and allergic factors all contribute to filling this bucket. When the nervous system functions properly, it can manage these stressors without overflowing. However, if there is nerve interference due to spinal misalignment, the bucket can overflow, leading to allergic reactions.
Our doctor is trained to identify and correct spinal misalignments that may contribute to allergies. By carefully evaluating and adjusting the spine, we aim to restore proper nervous system function, helping your body manage stressors more effectively and potentially reducing allergic reactions.
