Allergy Immunotherapy Services

Do You Have Allergies?

Anyone who has suffered from allergies knows the list of symptoms goes on and on. You'll have nasal congestion, sneezing, itchy eyes, headache, fatigue, and more! To deal with your allergies, you've probably tried prescriptions and over-the-counter allergy medications, but these solutions only mask the symptoms, and their effect will wear off. Once you stop taking the medication, your symptoms return.

If you're tired of suffering from allergies, it's time to take a different approach. At Pulmonary & Sleep Medicine Associates, LLP, we offer powerful treatment through allergy immunotherapy. It could be the option that clears your allergies for good.

Take Control With Allergy Immunotherapy

Allergy immunotherapy focuses on boosting your body's immune system with targeted allergy shots. In order to see if this therapy is right for you, let one of the providers at Pulmonary & Sleep Medicine Associates, LLP start your assessment.

Get Tested

Tell your healthcare provider about your allergy symptoms and any possible allergen exposures. They can help you decide if a skin test could help identify the allergies that may be causing your problems. The skin test painlessly applies allergens to your skin to check for reactions. The results are visible within 15 minutes. Skin testing is a covered benefit under most insurance plans.

Get Treated

If you are a good candidate, your provider may recommend allergy immunotherapy. AlleShield® Immunotherapy is administered as a series of small allergy shots. The first series of shots are low-dose injections. This build-up phase helps your body adjust to the allergens, developing a tolerance level. The second series is the maintenance phase, where a therapeutic dose for each allergen is achieved. This treatment is safe and very effective for both adults and children, and it is covered by most insurance plans.

Feel Better for Life

Although the recommended treatment span is two to four years, many people report feeling better much sooner. For some allergens, you may even start noticing improvement in your symptoms not long after starting treatment. The key to lifetime success is following the treatment schedule. This treatment is educating your immune system to tolerate allergens, and this process takes time to achieve the desired results.
