🌿 Are You Allergic to Stress?

You might be blaming pollen when stress is the real culprit.

Most people think stress only affects their mood or emotions — but it can also have serious physical effects that build up over time. Stress can trigger:

• Headaches and migraines
• Hair loss
• Irregular heartbeat
• Sleep problems
• Neck and back pain
• Asthma
• And yes… even allergy symptoms

📚 Science Backs It Up

Studies confirm what doctors have suspected for years — psychological stress can make allergies and asthma worse.
For example, Dr. Gailen D. Marshall, MD, PhD, Director of the Division of Allergy and Clinical Immunology at the University of Texas Medical School in Houston, found that stress increased allergy and asthma flare-ups in medical students during exams.

🧠 How Stress Affects Your Immune System

Your nervous system constantly processes information and tells your body how to respond to stress.
When you’re stressed, your body releases hormones like adrenaline, which can weaken your immune system over time.
If this stress reaction becomes constant, it can throw your body out of balance, making you more reactive to triggers like pollen, pet dander, and dust.

💆‍♂️ How Chiropractic Care Can Help

At Body Traxx Chiropractic in Pflugerville, TX, we focus on keeping your spine and nervous system working at their best. When your spine moves correctly, your central nervous system and immune system can work together as designed — improving your ability to handle stress naturally.

Antihistamines temporarily reduce symptoms by dampening your body’s response. Chiropractic care works differently — it helps your body adapt better to stress so you’re less reactive in the first place.
