Identifying the offending allergen(s) by allergy testing is the first step to determining the cause of your allergies and the most appropriate course of therapy.
There are two primary ways to test for allergies:● Skin tests● IgE blood tests.
Our practice uses a combination of these tests. An individualized evaluation will be done at the time of your visit to determine which test will be best for you.
Our Comprehensive Allergy Management Program consists of short-term and a long-term treatment:
● Short term treatment. Only provides relief from symptoms. Antihistamines, nasal steroid sprays, nasal antihistamines sprays, and allergy eye drops
● Long term treatment. Avoidance measures for inhalant allergy, eg dust mite, molds. Dietary programs and recommendations for food allergy. Allergy immunotherapy (desensitization) therapy- treating the underlying cause. ● Allergy Immunotherapy. This reprograms the overreacting immune system by gradually delivering the substances that trigger allergies to acclimate the body to them. Over 85% of patients who receive immunotherapy over the recommended period of time experience significant improvement or complete relief from their symptoms. This ongoing treatment will improve symptoms and decrease the use of allergy medications.
