Below is an excerpt from a news site local to the Philadelphia (PA) area, published earlier in the week. This spring as tilling and planting begins, and flowers are blooming, many members of our community suffer from allergies that can be debilitating. Congestion, watery eyes and fatigue are just a few symptoms patients describe. Fortunately, making an appointment at Health On Point means you'll receive not only acupuncture, but we will also discuss at home care to minimize suffering this spring and summer! You may bring home materials for sinus cleanse, herbal remedies, and handouts reviewing easy diet and lifestyle changes that will certainly improve quality of life during the season.
Aniko Foldi and Marty Rudolph said they have battled severe allergy symptoms for years with no relief.
"You name it, I have every kind of symptom," Aniko said.
"I have had surgery, I've gone to an allergist's office two times a week for shots," Marty said.
Both of them desperate for help they turned to acupuncture as a last resort and both said it worked.
"It absolutely mitigates the impact," Marty said.
"It's just amazing to me it's like a 100% improvement," said Aniko.
Dr. Marshall Sager in Bala Cynwyd, Montgomery County practiced traditional medicine for years before becoming a certified acupuncturist. He said he's seen great success treating allergies with the ancient technique.
"If you believe that the body has an inherent ability to heal itself what acupuncture does is enhance that ability," said Dr. Sager.
But Dr. Edward Schulman, an allergist at Drexel University's College of Medicine, said there is no proof acupuncture can help allergy symptoms... But Dr. Schulman said there are very few risks for trying acupuncture. However, if you choose to do it, both he and acupuncturists said you should tell your doctor and try to work it into your overall therapy.
