Allergy Testing and Subcutaneous Immunotherapy: A Long-Term Solution for Allergy Relief

Understanding Allergy Testing and Subcutaneous Immunotherapy

Allergies affect millions of people, causing symptoms like sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes, and even breathing difficulties. Whether triggered by pollen, pet dander, mold, or certain foods, allergies can interfere with daily life and overall well-being. Identifying the root cause of allergies is the first step in finding lasting relief. Allergy Testing and Subcutaneous Immunotherapy can make a big difference in your quality of life.

How Allergy Testing Works

At BackFit Health + Spine, we offer comprehensive allergy testing to determine what’s triggering your symptoms. Our testing process includes:

Skin Prick Testing: Small amounts of allergens are applied to your skin to observe reactions.
Blood Testing: Measures your immune response to specific allergens.
Medical Evaluation: Our providers assess your symptoms and history to create a personalized treatment plan.

By pinpointing the allergens affecting you, we can recommend the most effective treatment to reduce or eliminate your reactions.

What Is Subcutaneous Immunotherapy?

Subcutaneous Immunotherapy (SCIT)—commonly known as allergy shots—is a highly effective, long-term treatment for allergies. Instead of just masking symptoms with medication, SCIT helps retrain your immune system to stop overreacting to allergens.

How

Subcutaneous Immunotherapy Works:

1️⃣ Build-Up Phase: Small doses of allergens are injected under the skin, gradually increasing over time to help your body adjust.
2️⃣ Maintenance Phase: Once the ideal dose is reached, injections continue at regular intervals to sustain immunity.
3️⃣ Symptom Reduction: Over time, your immune system becomes less sensitive to allergens, significantly reducing symptoms.

Most patients experience long-lasting relief and, in some cases, their allergies disappear completely!

Who Should Consider Allergy Shots?

SCIT may be right for you if:
✅ You suffer from seasonal or year-round allergies.
✅ Over-the-counter medications don’t provide enough relief.
✅ You have asthma that worsens with allergies.
✅ You prefer a long-term solution rather than temporary symptom relief.
