Allergy Testing
At Sidney Chiropractic, Dr. Harold Schubert now offers comprehensive allergy testing to help patients in Sidney and surrounding areas identify and manage allergies effectively.
Many individuals experience symptoms such as sneezing, congestion, watery eyes, or chronic sinus issues without knowing the exact cause.
Our goal is to pinpoint the allergens affecting you and provide targeted treatment options that address the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Allergies and Their Symptoms
Allergies can affect more than your nose and eyes. While common symptoms include seasonal sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes, allergies may also contribute to:
- Chronic sinus infections
- Asthma and chronic cough
- Migraines and headaches
- Eye infections and light sensitivity
- Nasal polyps
- Chronic ear infections
- Skin conditions like hives and eczema
Without proper allergy testing, these symptoms may be misdiagnosed or treated as unrelated chronic conditions.
Accurate testing allows Dr. Schubert to identify the triggers that affect your immune system and overall health.
How Allergy Testing Works
Our in-office allergy testing is fast, safe, and effective. The test identifies the most common local airborne allergens, giving a clear picture of what triggers your symptoms.
Testing is suitable for adults and children over three years old and is covered by most insurance plans, with patients typically responsible only for co-pays or deductibles.
The process begins with a consultation and health questionnaire to determine risk factors. A small, non-invasive skin test is then performed, and results are available quickly.
Once allergens are identified, Dr. Schubert will discuss personalized treatment options tailored specifically to your needs.
Effective Allergy Treatments
After identifying your allergens, we offer customized immunotherapy to reduce sensitivity and improve long-term health.
There are two main treatment options:
Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT) – Allergy Drops
- A small amount of allergen extract is placed under the tongue for one to two minutes daily
- Treatment continues for three to five years to build lasting tolerance
- Reduces symptoms like sneezing, congestion, and itchy eyes
- Safe, convenient, and can be administered at home
Subcutaneous Immunotherapy (SCIT) – Allergy Shots
- Effective for environmental allergens such as pollen, dust, and mold
- Administered at gradually increasing doses to trigger antibodies that block allergic reactions
- Patients typically notice improvement within four to six months
- Maintenance therapy continues for several years
- Covered by most major insurance plans
