Allergy Shots
When avoidance measures and allergy medications fail, consider allergen immunotherapy, also known as allergy shots. Allergy shots are injections you receive at regular intervals over a period of time to help your body develop an immunity to the allergen that’s causing you grief. This trusted treatment has been used for over 100 years. Unlike medications, our office uses this modality with the state of the art technology to eliminate your symptoms by helping your body become immune to your allergies using those same natural substances. It is the closest treatment option to a cure!
However, we know that allergy shots can take some time to work. That’s why we’re very excited to announce we now offer an even faster relief in the form of cluster immunotherapy treatment plans. Like allergen immunotherapy, cluster immunotherapy (CIT) can provide long-lasting, rapid allergy relief through the progressive treatments which build immunity to an allergen through increasing doses of the substance that triggers the symptoms. The main difference between the two treatment types is that cluster immunotherapy is an accelerated initial shot schedule that shortens the build-up phase, allowing patients to reach their maximum maintenance dose in a mere 6 weeks! This will help you feel significant symptom relief much, much sooner.

Allergy shots are typically covered by insurance. Our staff will work with you to communicate your particular options and costs before beginning any treatment.
