Batavia Chiropractic Allergy Treatments
Liberate Allergy Sufferers

One out of five people in the U.S. suffer from allergies. Aside from itchy eyes, sneezing, congestion and fatigue, allergy sufferers may also suffer from asthma. An allergy occurs when the immune system goes into overdrive against substances that would not be considered harmful to an immune system that was functioning normally. Anything from grass, tree and weed pollens to foods like strawberries, shellfish, milk, gluten and nuts can sicken people with allergic reactions. The good news is that our Batavia chiropractor can truly help. Through chiropractic spinal adjustments, a customized nutritional plan and a regimen of select supplements, our allergy treatments have helped many allergy sufferers breathe a lot easier!

Allergy Elimination: It is Possible

While typical allergy and asthma treatments focus on dulling down the hyperactive immune system with antihistamines and steroid inhalers, these treatments do not address the real problem and can further weaken the immune system against real threats. The root problem is that the immune system can be thrown out of balance when certain nerves in the spine are pinched. This can happen when particular vertebrae are out of proper alignment, either from an injury or poor posture habits over the years. We have often treated patients for neck or back pain, adjusting their spine back into proper position, only to have them report back later that in addition to having their pain relieved, they suddenly noticed that they were not suffering from their typical allergies anymore. This allergy elimination was a welcome surprise that drastically improved their quality of life!

In addition to spinal adjustments to correct immune system function by removing nerve interference, we also help our allergic patients by prescribing a customized plan of supplements and review their overall diet. A customized supplement plan strengthens and balances the immune systems so patients can effectively ward off dangerous viruses and infections while recognizing that strawberries, peanuts, gluten and grass pollen are not true threats. This gives allergy sufferers a whole new lease on life!

Just imagine: How would your life be different if you no longer had to struggle with your allergies?

Make Good Health a Daily Habit with Wellness Care from Batavia Chiropractic Center

Good health does not need to be something you only think about when you do not have it. It can instead be something you attain and maintain with a wellness plan from Sharratt Chiropractic Family Health and Massage Center. Our Batavia chiropractor Dr. Jack D. Sharratt offers services that go beyond spinal care, with a number of treatments that can help you achieve the level of health your body deserves and requires to function in its fullest and most robust capacity. We can design a specific plan tailored to your needs that helps your body achieve its optimum health.

Family Center Takes Holistic Approach to Health

Our center takes a holistic approach to health care, which means we do not limit our focus to a specific ailment or treatment but rather treat the body as a unified whole. This unified whole requires attention to all of its parts to produce the healthiest results. An ideal place to start is with proper nutrition. Our nutritional counseling includes dietary recommendations that fuel your body with the energy and nutrients it needs to assist with healing, decrease the risk of ailments and disease, and achieve and maintain a healthy weight. We may also prescribe certain vitamins or supplements to help you combat any allergies or deficiencies. Increasing fruits and vegetable consumption and decreasing sugar is often a part of an overall eating program, and Dr. Sharratt can make additional suggestions based on your gender, weight, fitness level, and lifestyle.

Our additional services can play an integral part in a health maintenance plan. Dr. Sharratt offers gentle, all-natural spinal adjustments to re-align the spine and help ensure the body can function to its fullest potential. Adjustments can help alleviate pain and improve posture which, in turn, can result in an increase in vitality and energy. Our massage therapy is another all-natural, non-invasive healing method that can alleviate pain, release tension, improve blood circulation, and give the body and mind a much-needed boost.

What daily habits do you have that help you stay healthy?

What is Causing My Back Pain
and Can a Chiropractor Help?

When you learned that you were pregnant, you may have anticipated that as you gained weight and your body began to distribute that weight differently, you might experience back pain and other discomforts. Many women are then surprised to discover that they are experiencing back pain in early pregnancy as well. What causes this problem and what can you do to get relief?

Not all back pain during pregnancy comes from weight gain and shifts in body mass—some aches and pains actually have hormonal origins. The release of extra progesterone into your body can create a softening of the ligaments that support your spine and the gelatinous discs cushioning your vertebrae. This loosening of the area around your sacroiliac joint is a natural preparation for eventual delivery, but the sudden lack of support can throw extra strain on your muscles, leading to pain and stiffness. It can also contribute to spinal misalignments that make the pain more intense. This discomfort may or may not be accompanied by abdominal pain or spasms.

Holistic Relief for Batavia Mothers-to-Be

Here at Sharrat Chiropractic Family Health and Massage Center in Batavia, we perform gentle chiropractic adjustments on pregnant patients to help them overcome discomfort and keep their overall condition as healthy as possible.

Pregnancy massage, another service we offer, can do wonders for relieving muscular aches and pains, boosting circulation, and coping with edema caused by water retention. We can also recommend maternity exercises that allow you to stretch, tone and relax your back muscles without putting yourself or your baby at risk—in fact, the stronger and more flexible you can remain during your pregnancy, the easier your delivery and recuperation are likely to be.

This combination of treatment techniques fits right in with our holistic or “whole-body” approach to health and wellness, pregnant or not.
