Conditions Treated

Asthma
Asthma is a chronic medical condition of the respiratory system. Asthma attacks are marked by the swelling of the lung’s air passages and increased mucous production, leading to difficulties in breathing. The risks posed by the disease vary by the individual. For some, asthma is little more than a nuisance; for others, it can mean life-threatening medical emergencies. There is currently no cure for asthma but its symptoms can be controlled with proper medical treatment and personal care.

Dust Mite Allergy
A dust-mite allergy is your body’s immune response to dust mites, which are tiny, insect-like creatures that inhabit our homes, often in the millions. Dust mites are extremely small, requiring magnification to be seen by the human eye. Both their body parts and their excrement can be sources of allergic reactions in some people. Dust-mite allergies have also been linked to the development of asthma and sinusitis.

Hay Fever (Allergic Rhinitis)
Hay fever is an immune response to certain indoor and outdoor allergens, such as pollen, pet dander, and dust mites. The medical term for this condition is allergic rhinitis. Hay fever produces cold-like symptoms centered on the nasal passages. There is no cure for hay fever, but there are a variety of treatments available for suppressing symptoms and reducing the severity and frequency of their impact. Though allergic rhinitis is unlikely to be a serious threat to your health, it can be unpleasant and a source of considerable discomfort.

Mold Allergies
Molds are fungi which reproduce by releasing spoors into the air. Breathing these spoors causes an allergic reaction in some people. Reactions range in intensity from mild to severe. Mold allergies can be difficult to manage. There are a thousand-plus mold species in the United States alone, growing both indoors and out. Depending on the nature of the allergy, sufferers can experience symptoms at any time during the year.

Seasonal Allergies
An allergy is an overreaction by your body’s immune system to something you contact in the environment. Seasonal allergies typically occur at certain times of the year, when irritants or allergens, such as plant pollen, are present in greater quantity. Allergies are a common form of illness, and symptoms range from moderate to severe.
