Allergies are quite prevalent in children. Studies even note that severe allergies mainly occur in kids who come from an interracial family. Sadly, many kids have difficulty explaining how they feel whenever they’re sick or affected by allergies.

As a parent or legal guardian, finding the best way to help a child cope with allergies should be your priority. Do you know what remedies you can use? Have you tried exploring natural options like going to a Redwood City upper cervical chiropractor? Learn more about your options for helping a child with allergies below. 

How do Allergies Work?

Allergic reactions are among the body’s natural defensive responses. They serve as warning signs so you can stop your exposure to allergy-causing materials or dangerous substances. Some of the usual allergic reactions you might have seen or experienced before might include runny nose, sneezing, coughing, scratchy throat, difficulty breathing, and skin rashes. 

Most of the time, parents use over-the-counter medication for allergy relief like Benadryl, Claritin, and Allegra. These drugs block the effect of histamines or the allergy-triggering substance your body releases during stressful situations such as an infection. 

Such a reaction can also occur when a child has an overactive or sensitive immune system due to a nervous system malfunction. Sometimes, such a malfunction occurs when a child has a neck misalignment. This is a common health problem that occurs after an injury to the head during a car collision, tripping or falling.  

How A Redwood City Upper Cervical Chiropractor Can Help

Your child’s neck bone alignment likely contributes to the severity of the allergies. If your child has suffered from a neck or head trauma before, it may be a good idea to seek a Redwood City upper cervical chiropractor for a neck bone adjustment. This approach is gentle and scientifically proven to help kids manage their allergic reactions. 

If you’re interested in trying a natural, sustainable, and effective remedy for a change, you can head over to Advanced Spinal Care. We are the go-to place for many parents who need the help of a Redwood City upper cervical chiropractor. Book an appointment with Dr. Tsiglieris or call us at (650) 595-0500 today!

Allergies, Allergy, Sinus, PollenDo feel like there is no solution to your allergies? Many people do. Medications can be somewhat helpful, but they are not addressing the underlying issues causing the problem. Once you have tried a number of these, you realize they may help temporarily, but they will not cure the problem with your sinuses. Sometimes you even have to take several types of medication at one time to find relief. Again, this is only temporary. Some find that steroid sprays do help the inflammation of their sinuses. But this is only treating one symptom, not the root cause.

What Causes Allergy Symptoms?

If you are experiencing allergies, it is probably something in your environment that is making your body put up a defense. It is a natural reaction to foreign invaders, but it is happening at the wrong time or too often. It is good that your immune system is working to get rid of toxins in your body, but it seems to be getting mixed signals as to what is really a threat to your system. One potential reason this may be happening has to do with a misalignment in the upper cervical area of your neck. This needs to be corrected.

What Can Be Done?

If you do, in fact, have a misalignment in your neck, this can keep the brainstem from sending the proper signals to your brain, and therefore, your sinuses. Correcting these misalignments will keep your head balanced and in its proper place, and your immune system will function at a much higher level.

Upper cervical chiropractors, such as Dr. Pete Tsiglieris of Redwood City, California, can help you with this problem. Special techniques and tools are used to examine the neck and detect where your specific misalignment is. Then Dr. Tsilglieris can begin to correct the problem and restore proper function back to your brainstem. This has been proven to result in improvement in allergy and sinus symptoms. Make an appointment today for your assessment, and begin living a life with fewer allergies as soon as possible.

Allergies, Allergy, Sinus, PollenAre you suffering from congestion on a regular basis or chronic sinus infections? Maybe both have plagued you for many years. Have you been told that you have sinus problems? Did you know that almost ninety percent of sinus problems are actually headache syndromes that have been misdiagnosed? If your sinuses are not draining properly, it will cause you to have a number of issues, such as sleep problems, colds and flu, fatigue, allergies, pain, and much more. We will talk about what causes this a little later. For now, let’s discuss what you can do to find relief.

The common response leads those in the USA to spend $5.8 billion a year on sinus treatments. These include nasal steroids, decongestants, and antihistamines. Others use neti pots or other nasal rinses to clear out their sinuses. Some five hundred thousand people actually resort to having sinus surgery every year!

Doctors at Georgetown University Medical Center have come across a connection with sinus symptoms, chronic pain, and fatigue. Almost three hundred patients presented with sinus problems. Of these, twenty-two percent had unexplained fatigue, and eleven percent had chronic pain.

What’s the Cause?

A similar problem may be at the root of all three conditions. It can be related to a misalignment in the upper neck. The upper neck area is the most vulnerable to injury due to accidents, even minor ones. The tissue that holds the spine in place can become torn. This causes the spine to breakdown and then lock into a position of stress. When a misalignment of this type occurs, it affects the brainstem. In turn, this leads to problems with fatigue, sleep, pain, and sinuses.

Contact Dr. Pete Tsiglieris of Redwood City, California to find out if you could have a brainstem injury that may be causing your sinus problems. Dr. Tsiglieris is trained in upper cervical chiropractic care. He can assess you and begin to fix the misalignments in your neck. This will bring relief to your sinus problems and improve your quality of life. Call today to schedule an appointment.

Allergies, Allergy, Sinus, PollenUpper Cervical Chiropractic care doesn’t treat allergies. So, why do so many people with allergies mention that they see improvement by receiving care in our practice?

It's Not the Pollen

There are many signs of an allergic reaction. Itchy eyes. Runny nose. Sneezing. Skin rash. More serious reactions can include constricted air passageways, vomiting and even death. All this from a handful of peanuts, an encounter with a cat or microscopic grains of pollen in the air!

Allergen Fear?

Your body inappropriately perceives the allergen as a threat.

If everyone reacted to these common substances, we could fix the blame squarely on the nut, dander, shellfish or pollen. But not everyone reacts.

What is it?

Inappropriate Threat

Your nervous system is the master system that orchestrates your immune system, glandular system, respiratory system and every other system that reacts inappropriately to an allergen. Normally, these systems help you respond and adapt to the world around you. But suffering from uncontrollable sneezing around a house cat is probably an inappropriate reaction.

If your nervous system isn’t working right, you don’t work right. So, rather than direct our attention to the countless potential allergens, we locate and reduce the disturbances we find  to your nervous system.

A Full Bucket

Each of us was born with the capacity to withstand or adapt to stress. If we’re unable to deal with things we eat, breathe or come into contact with it may be because our margin to adapt is used up.

Pretend that this bucket represents your capacity to adapt to the physical, emotional and chemical stresses of life. Every stressful encounter your body faces, fills up  your bucket. If your bucket is already full and you encounter pollen, foods or other chemicals, your bucket overflows.

When that happens, people say they’re having an allergic reaction. But what they’re really saying is, “I’ve lost my ability to adapt. My margin is used up.”

Upper Cervical Chiropractic: Nervous System

So, we don’t treat allergies. We look for ways to restore your ability to adapt to allergens by locating and reducing disturbances to your nervous system. Simple, really.

Who do you know that isn't adapting to the stressors in their life?   Allergies?   Chronic Pain?   Sinus problems?

allergies, sick child, children, allergic reactionAn Overactive Immune System

Is your child struggling with allergies?

Does it seem like they are just always sick?

It may be that they have an overactive immune system.

10% of all children are struggling with allergies.  Allegra, Benadryl, Claritin, Zyrtec, Sudafed and Clarinex are commonly given to children for allergies.

But why is it that 2 children can be exposed to the same environment and have 2 completely different reactions?

Our amazing nervous system controls are immune system. When there is interference with the function of the nervous system the immune system doesn’t work right.

Small injuries at the top of neck disrupt the brain’s ability to properly regulate immunity leading to an overreaction by the immune system.
