ACUPUNCTURE FOR ALLERGIES + SINUS PROBLEMS
Your immune system wasn't meant to overreact to everyday environmental triggers. Whether you're dealing with seasonal allergies that knock you out every spring, year-round sensitivities, or chronic inflammation, we help your body respond more appropriately to what's around you.
We work with people who've tried antihistamines, nasal sprays, and allergy shots but still struggle with congestion, fatigue, and the constant cycle of inflammatory reactions that make them feel miserable.
HOW ACUPUNCTURE SUPPORTS ALLERGY RELIEF
Allergies aren't just about what you're exposed to—they're about how your immune system has learned to respond. When your system is in overdrive, it treats harmless substances like pollen or dust as serious threats, creating inflammation, congestion, and exhaustion.
Acupuncture helps regulate your immune response and reduce the inflammatory cascade that creates allergy symptoms. Instead of just blocking symptoms with medications, acupuncture addresses the underlying immune patterns that make you reactive in the first place.
Most of our allergy patients use acupuncture as regular support throughout allergy seasons and year-round to maintain balanced immune function rather than just treating flare-ups when they're miserable.
If you’re tired of tissues, antihistamines, and avoiding the outdoors—we’d love to help your system settle down.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
This depends on several factors—how severe your symptoms are, whether they're seasonal or year-round, and what works best for your schedule and preferences. We typically start with at least weekly visits, and some people prefer coming more frequently for faster progress. Others do well with the weekly pace and love the consistent immune support. Once you're feeling better, most people transition to maintenance somewhere between every other week to monthly for allergy prevention. Some prefer to stay weekly because they love the consistent support and rarely get sick. We'll start with what makes sense for your situation and adjust from there based on how you respond.
-
Absolutely. Acupuncture works differently than antihistamines—instead of blocking histamine reactions, it helps regulate your immune system so you're less likely to have severe reactions in the first place. Many people find relief with acupuncture even when medications haven't been fully effective.

Acupuncture can help calm your digestive system's inflammatory response to foods and support better gut health overall. For severe food allergies, you should still avoid trigger foods, but acupuncture can help with milder sensitivities and digestive inflammation.
-
No, continue your current medications and work with your doctor about any changes. Many people find they need less medication as their symptoms improve, but any medication adjustments should be made with your prescribing physician.
-
Yes. By improving sinus drainage and reducing inflammation, acupuncture often helps people who get frequent sinus infections. Better drainage means less bacterial buildup and fewer infections.
