Don’t let Chronic Allergies affect your quality of life.
Apex Physical Medicine:
Allergy and Immunotherapy Treatment Program
At Apex Physical Medicine, our Allergy and Immunotherapy Treatment Program is designed not just to alleviate the immediate discomfort of allergies but to address the underlying cause: inflammation. Allergies are not merely seasonal annoyances; they can significantly contribute to chronic inflammation, which plays a central role in various health issues, including chronic pain.
Think of your body like a cup of water.
Every exposure to allergens—whether it’s pollen, dust mites, mold, or pet dander—adds a little more water to that cup. Over time, as these exposures accumulate, the cup fills up. Eventually, it overflows, and that’s when symptoms like sneezing, watery eyes, headaches, or even chronic pain manifest in the body.
Inflammation, in this case, is the water that builds up over time. When chronic, it can exacerbate other health problems, such as joint pain, fatigue, and even systemic conditions like arthritis. Our program targets this build-up of inflammation, helping you get to the root cause of your discomfort rather than just managing the symptoms.
Understanding the Impact of
Allergies on Inflammation
Comprehensive Allergy Testing:
Blood Work and Skin Scratch Tests
To start, we perform comprehensive allergy testing through both blood work and skin scratch tests.
These tests help identify specific allergens that may be contributing to your chronic symptoms. Blood tests are used to measure the immune system’s response to particular allergens by measuring the level of certain antibodies. The skin scratch test, on the other hand, is a safe and reliable method where small amounts of allergens are introduced to the skin, helping us pinpoint specific allergic triggers.
By identifying these triggers, we can help you understand what is contributing to your inflammation and take proactive steps to avoid those allergens in your daily life.
What is Immunotherapy?
Immunotherapy is the cornerstone of our allergy treatment program.
It’s a long-term treatment that can significantly reduce allergic reactions. The goal of immunotherapy is to desensitize your body to allergens. This means that over time, your immune system becomes less reactive to the substances that previously triggered severe symptoms, thus reducing inflammation in the body.
Through regular exposure to small, controlled amounts of allergens, either via injections (allergy shots) or sublingual tablets, your immune system gradually builds tolerance. This process helps reduce your sensitivity to allergens, lowering your overall inflammation levels and alleviating symptoms of chronic pain, fatigue, and more.
Who Is This Program Good For?
Our program is designed for anyone suffering from:
Seasonal or year-round allergies
Chronic pain and inflammation that may be linked to allergens
Recurring sinus issues or congestion
Unexplained fatigue or headaches
Those seeking long-term relief rather than short-term symptom management
If you suspect that your symptoms are related to chronic allergies, even if those symptoms don’t feel like traditional allergy symptoms, our program can help you understand and address the root causes.
