Allergy Testing
Our comprehensive allergy testing involves a thorough evaluation of your medical history, followed by skin prick tests or blood tests to detect sensitivity to common allergens like pollen, mold, dust, dust mites, pet dander, and food. Once the allergens are identified, our specialist will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that may include allergen avoidance strategies or immunotherapy. Don’t let allergies disrupt your daily life.
Immunotherapy Allergy Shots
Immunotherapy is a type of treatment by activating or suppressing the immune system. With immunotherapy, your body “gets used to” allergens and will eventually not respond to them in a harmful way. This treats the cause of allergies, not the symptoms.
Allergy shots are a type of immunotherapy that help retrain your nose, sinuses, and immune system to be less reactive to what you are allergic to. These are administered under the skin with a needle. Allergy shots are typically administered in the office, starting with a low dose that is gradually increased.
If allergies are affecting your quality of life, relief is possible. Contact Dr. Woods Hearing Center today to schedule a consultation.
