Schedule an appointmentWhat are allergies—and why do they happen?
Allergies occur when your immune system reacts to something that should be harmless, like pollen, dust, or pet dander. These substances, called allergens, trigger inflammation and irritation, leading to a variety of symptoms. Your reaction is unique, and that’s why personalized allergy care is so important.
Common allergy symptoms
If you’re unsure whether your symptoms are allergy-related, here are some of the most common signs:
- Sneezing or a runny nose
- Nasal congestion or post-nasal drip
- Itchy or watery eyes
- Coughing or throat irritation
- Skin issues like hives or eczema
- Facial pain, pressure, or sinus headaches
- Fatigue or brain fog
Every patient is different. That’s why we treat every case with an individualized approach to allergy symptoms and treatment.
Schedule your appointmentDiscover what’s triggering your symptoms with allergy testing
The path to real relief starts with understanding your triggers. We offer in-depth allergy testing to pinpoint the allergens causing your discomfort. This may include:
- Skin prick testing
- Intradermal testing
- Blood testing
Your personalized allergy treatment plan
Once we know your triggers, we build a personalized allergy treatment plan designed to relieve symptoms and improve your quality of life. Your plan may combine multiple strategies depending on your health history, allergy severity, and lifestyle.
Allergy medication options
We tailor your medications to the type and severity of your symptoms. Some patients need support only during allergy season, while others benefit from year-round care. Options include:
- Antihistamines for quick relief of sneezing, itching, and runny nose
- Nasal corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and nasal congestion
- Decongestants to relieve sinus pressure and swelling3
- Eye drops for itchy or watery eyes
- Topical creams for skin-related allergies like hives or eczema
If you're looking for allergy-free medication options that don't cause drowsiness, we can help guide you toward the best non-drowsy allergy medicine for your needs.
Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy helps your immune system become less reactive over time. Ideal for people who want more than symptom management. We offer two proven formats:
Allergy shots (subcutaneous immunotherapy)
Administered in our office on a regular schedule, these shots slowly build up your tolerance to allergens
Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT)
A needle-free option using allergy drops placed under the tongue, ideal for at-home treatment and patients with mild-to-moderate symptoms
Immunotherapy is the foundation of our allergy relief system—targeting the cause, not just the symptoms.
Lifestyle and environmental strategies
Allergy treatment is more effective when you also reduce exposure to your triggers. We’ll help you identify small but powerful changes you can make, such as:
- Using HEPA air filters in your home
- Washing bedding and curtains weekly in hot water
- Keeping windows closed during high pollen seasons
- Removing mold from damp areas like bathrooms and basements
- Creating pet-free zones, especially in bedrooms
- Showering after outdoor activity to remove pollen
These steps are part of a long-term allergy control plan and are often recommended alongside medication or immunotherapy.
Combination therapy
Some patients benefit most from a blended approach. If you experience both environmental and food allergies—or if symptoms are severe—we may recommend a customized plan that combines:
- Prescription medications
- Immunotherapy
- Nutritional support and lifestyle changes
- Follow-up visits to adjust the plan as needed
This level of care reflects our commitment to truly comprehensive allergy solutions designed around your life—not just your symptoms.
