Story of Hope for Dr. Kent

Challenge: Allergies, Headaches/Migraines, Low Immune Function

Let’s talk about one of our docs! Did you know that Dr. Kent has dealt with his fare share of neurological dysfunctions? Whether it was allergies and sinus issues, headaches and migraines, or low immune function in general, Dr. Kent has seen his variety of symptoms and really had no good way to relieve any of it.

During his elementary and junior high years, Dr. Kent played a lot of sports and had many dives and falls on the ground. Combining that with doing work outside on the farm, it resulted in hard stresses on his body and nervous system. Because of this, he started to develop allergies all year round. Because of the stuffiness and congestion, that started to result in headaches and migraines as he went from middle school to high school.

Dr. Kent went down the path that most tend to go, and especially because not as much information was available to us all at that time. He went to his doctor and the answers typically went in circles and saying that his headaches were caused by his sinuses and that his allergies had now resulted in a sinus infection. He would be given a Z-pack (antibiotic) and told this would solve it. But, it never solved the symptoms. He was still having to take daily Zyrtec, Allegra, Claritin, etc. and nothing was working long term. He would deal with headaches a few times a week, taking an Advil for that. His body was constantly hurting and nothing seemed to give him relief, or hope.

Chiropractic changed everything for Dr. Kent. When he went to chiropractic school, he was moving from Midwest Ohio down to Atlanta, GA. The pollen count was going to be a significant change for him and he was worried about how his body would handle this change.

When he got to school, he started to learn about how the nervous system worked and how the brain could heal the body, it just needed no interference. Dr. Kent started to receive neurologically based chiropractic care and his allergies started to improve! He wasn’t struggling as much on a daily basis and he wasn’t taking a daily medication either.

Eventually, over time, Dr. Kent would only have an allergy flare up when the seasons would change. But, instead of taking a daily medication, he would get adjusted, rest, and drink water. His body would improve in a shorter amount of time than how he used to handle the allergies!

Today, Dr. Kent has now gone over 10 years since he has taken an allergy medication and when the seasons change, he may deal with a day or two of allergies, but being under regular chiropractic care the allergies will subside in just a few short days, not returning for months at a time! In conjunction with this, the headaches became a distant memory, and they rarely affect him! His immune system is functioning the way it was designed to and he feels healthier now than ever!
