Another health issue that chiropractic medicine is very effective at treating is allergies.

One technique that is used is A/SERT or Allergy/Sensitivity Elimination and Reprogramming Technique. Your body's life energy can develop particular sensitivities or allergies to the energy of any other object or organism. A/SERT treatment is based on principles of chiropractic, acupuncture and applied kinesiology.

We've discussed how chiropractic medicine works with the spinal column to remove harmful subluxations that cause pain and disease in your body. Acupuncture stimulates points along the meridian or energy pathways that travel across your body. Applied kinesiology uses feedback collected from testing muscle strength in order to discover blockages and dysfunction in your body before an actual disease becomes present.

The technique of A/SERT combines components of these three practices to diagnose and treat allergic reactions. When your body is exposed to a substance that it has a particular sensitivity to, the actual muscles will display a weakness that was not previously detected. When an allergen is identified, A/SERT can essentially reprogram your body to no longer react to that particular substance. There are different ways to de-sensitize the body to these allergens, including using a cold laser. The chiropractor would place the allergen in your hand and then stimulate various acupressure meridians, thereby re-setting your brain's programming and eliminating the previous sensitivity.
