Allergies - Children Chiropractic
Childhood allergies can be debilitating for thousands and thousands of young
children, with Australia having one of the highest allergy prevalence rates in
the world. But what actually causes allergies? Why do some children develop
severe allergies, while others show no problems?
The problem may not be the chemicals, toxins or pets as usually suggested, but the actual person. The ability to adapt to allergens is the responsibility of the nervous system. Allergies occur when the immune system overreacts to a stimulus that the body has mistaken as harmful. When this happens, the body creates specific antibodies to fight what it has determined to be threatening. Once the increased amounts of histamines and other chemicals are released, this may further trigger a cascade of allergic symptoms that can affect the respiratory system, gastrointestinal tract, skin or cardiovascular system.
Common presentations of allergies include:
Although a child can develop an allergy to anything, eight foods account for 90 percent of all food-induced allergic reactions: milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts (walnuts, cashews, etc.), seafood/shellfish, soy and wheat. Other non-food sources of allergies can be pollen, grass, paint, medicine and chemicals.
While anti-histamines (both prescription and non-prescription) have helped to reduce the severity of some allergy symptoms, these do not target the causes of the allergy, but merely reduce the severity of symptoms. Some children also have to cope with unexpected side-effects of these drugs.
For this reason, natural alternatives to anti-histamine medication should be pursued. Because allergies are caused by an improper immune response, reducing allergies requires improving the health of the immune system. This can be achieved through healthy diets of natural food, and through regular exercise.
Most importantly, improving immune function through regular chiropractic treatments can help address allergic reactions. Chiropractic treatments can improve the functioning of the nervous system by reducing any abnormal strains, which in turn regulates the immune system. Chiropractors can keep your child's body working at its best capacity to fight off infections and allergens [1].
