If allergies are disrupting your daily life, we’re here to help. Our allergists create personalized treatment plans designed to reduce symptoms and help you feel your best. One common option is allergy shots, a form of allergy immunotherapy. This long-term treatment typically lasts 3–5 years and works by gradually exposing your immune system to small amounts of the allergen that causes your symptoms. Over time, your body builds tolerance, which can lead to fewer allergic reactions.
In many cases, immunotherapy can also lessen the need for allergy medications, improve asthma symptoms in some patients and even help prevent new allergies from developing. Your provider will recommend the approach that’s safest and most effective for your specific allergies.
Asthma may flare up due to different reasons, from environmental allergens and cold air to physical activity and respiratory infections. Our immunologists and allergy experts focus on prevention and long-term control to help control asthma symptoms and prevent asthma attacks.
We work with you on an asthma prevention action plan that may involve lifestyle changes and tracking your breathing. You may also need a quick-relief inhaler in case of an asthma flare-up.
