Here is an interesting story I ran across talking about chiropractic care and how it helps the body become more resistant to allergies. The chiropractor explains that the chiropractic adjustment helps to expand the spaces between the rib-vertebrae to open up the lungs and to help the nerves running through those spaces work without interference.
Also interesting is the comments section of the story where the mother who was highlighted in the story talked about the care from her point of view:
I am the mom in the segment featured here. In the segment Dr. Greg clearly states "Chiropractic does not treat that allergy”, and he truly means that. Chiropractic doesn’t TREAT anything, and the notion that chiropractors are purely “back doctors” is a myth.
What chiropractic care does do is remove nerve interference in the spine so that the body can do what it already innately knows how to do – heal itself – or in the case of wellness care, keep itself well and functioning at an optimal level. Babies are not born drug deficient and chiropractic supports the body and the immune system naturally, without drugs.
It is also stated in the segment that Dr. Greg does agree that some people do require medical intervention and he doesn’t discourage that. I agree with him 100%, and have used traditional medical interventions myself when needed for my son. Andrew has very severe allergies that can trigger anaphylaxis.
Allergies are not trivial matters in our lives.
However, if I can avoid a trip to the ER/hospital with a simple chiropractic adjustment, I am going to do that. Chiropractic is always my first line of defense (and offense), barring a true life-or-death emergency. More than 99% of the time it works well for my son.
My statements in this segment are just that – my statements. BUT they are also fact in my life, because I have seen the results with my own eyes. A child that is one day old, five weeks old or two years old does not know the term "bunk". They do not know what a "subluxation" is, nor do they care. They don’t make up symptoms or aches and pains. What they do know is how they feel, and it is blatantly obvious that chiropractic care is beneficial to my babies. It makes them feel better and they are always quick to let me know their adjustments make them feel good.

Chiropractic care has kept my son out of the hospital many times – as recently as this last Monday. I was on the verge of taking him in to the ER because he couldn’t breathe, but was able to get Andrew in to Dr. Greg right away, and the adjustment cleared him up so he could breathe. By the time we left the office Andrew had stated “All better!”, and was laughing and starting to play again. By the end of the night you never would have known he’d been close to hospitalization just a few prior.
I truly and wholeheartedly believe that every child and adult should have regular quality chiropractic care as a part of their wellness regimen.

Hai,
Good question….Yes some times chiropractic care helps from allergies and also other pains.I am also chiropractor working in alpha omega wellness center.
Have you ever estimated how much money your family spends on pain medication per year? If not, calculate it now. (Take care to include over-the-counter drug costs, which alone can reach monumental sums.) Chances are you’re spending more on covering up your pain with drugs than it would cost to treat your family to a year’s worth of preventative chiropractic care!
