Allergies

Allergies to pollen, dust, mold, and animal dander can cause persistent symptoms such as water eyes, runny nose, cough, blocked nose, and wheezing that can have a significant impact on your daily life.

The most common allergens that cause respiratory symptoms include:

Environmental Allergy Testing

Environmental allergies can significantly affect your quality of life, causing symptoms such as sneezing, itchy eyes, runny nose, and even asthma. Identifying the specific allergens responsible for your symptoms is crucial for effective management and treatment.

Our comprehensive environmental allergy testing involves a thorough evaluation of your medical history, followed by skin prick tests or blood tests to detect sensitivity to common allergens like pollen, mold, dust mites, and pet dander. Once the allergens are identified, our specialists work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that may include allergen avoidance strategies, medications, or immunotherapy. Don’t let environmental allergies disrupt your daily life.

Contact us today to schedule your allergy testing and take the first step toward relief and better health.

Allergy Shots and Drops

Immunotherapy shots and drops contain minute quantities of the substance you are allergic to. Regular, frequent exposure to these tiny amounts of the allergen enables your body to become accustomed to them and to recognize them as non-threatening. This process can significantly reduce or even eliminate allergy symptoms over time.

Allergy shots are typically administered in the office, starting with a low dose that is gradually increased. Allergy drops, also known as sublingual immunotherapy, are taken at home by placing drops under your tongue. Both methods have been shown to be effective in treating allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, and even some cases of eczema. Immunotherapy not only alleviates symptoms but also addresses the root cause of allergies, offering a long-term solution for allergy sufferers.

Consult with our specialists to determine if allergy shots or drops are the right option for you and begin your journey to a more comfortable, allergy-free life.
