What Is Allergy Testing and Immunotherapy?
Many of us experience allergy problems from time to time, whether they're caused by seasonal changes, pets, or other common triggers. Allergies can often be managed with over-the-counter antihistamines, but when you're dealing with severe or persistent allergies, it's time to consider reaching out to ProperCare Wellness to learn more about allergy testing and immunotherapy. Using our extensive experience in allergy treatments, we can help you learn more about your symptoms and their triggers so you can breathe easier. If you're suffering from itching, wheezing, congestion, or other allergy symptoms, we encourage you to reach out to our practice in DeSoto, TX for diagnosis and treatment.
How Do Allergy Testing and Immunotherapy Work?
Allergy testing involves exposing the patient to different allergens to determine which ones trigger an allergic reaction. At ProperCare Wellness, we might perform allergy testing using a skin prick test (typically on the forearms, back, or upper arms), an injection, or a small blood sample. If we determine that you are allergic to any of the tested allergens, we'll develop an immunotherapy plan to help fight your allergy. Immunotherapy is performed by slowly exposing your body to larger amounts of allergens, training up your immune system over time to handle whatever triggers are causing your symptoms. This might be done with allergy shots or tablets placed under the tongue. During your immunotherapy program, we'll continue to monitor changes in your health and your body's reaction to allergens, making adjustments as needed.
What Are the Benefits of Immunotherapy?
If you've ever dealt with allergies, you know how they can impact your quality of life. Allergy testing and immunotherapy at ProperCare Wellness can help, offering benefits that include:
- Isolating the exact triggers of your allergies so you know what to avoid
