Immunotherapy for Allergy Treatment

One of the most effective long-term solutions for allergies is immunotherapy, which gradually desensitizes your body to allergens. Immunotherapy can be delivered through allergy shots or oral treatments, depending on your preferences and needs.


Benefits of Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy offers a range of benefits, including:

  • Long-term relief from allergy symptoms
  • Reduction in reliance on medication
  • Decreased risk of anaphylaxis (severe allergic reactions)
  • FDA-approved treatment for various allergens

Immunotherapy

(Allergy Shots)

Allergy shots, or immunotherapy injections, are designed to desensitize your immune system to specific allergens. The treatment begins with weekly injections and progresses to monthly maintenance shots, offering long-term relief.

Sublingual Immunotherapy

(SLIT)

For those who prefer a non-invasive approach, sublingual immunotherapy involves taking allergen extracts under the tongue. This method is convenient and effective for certain allergies.

Food Allergy Immunotherapy

If you have food allergies, Dr. Kevin Chan offers a specialized treatment plan to gradually increase your tolerance to allergens, helping to prevent life-threatening reactions.

Elimination Diets & Gut Health

An elimination diet can help you identify food allergens such as dairy, wheat, or corn. Additionally, improving gut health through probiotics and supplements like fish oil may help reduce allergy symptoms.


Targeted Lifestyle Changes

Lifestyle factors such as stress, poor diet, and inflammation can all contribute to allergies. Our experts will work with you to create a personalized plan to minimize your exposure to allergens and improve your body’s natural defenses.

What Causes Allergies?

Allergies are caused by an overactive immune response to substances that are typically harmless to most people. When the immune system mistakenly reacts to an allergen (such as pollen, dust, pet dander, or certain foods), it triggers symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, or skin irritation. In some cases, exposure to allergens can even result in life-threatening reactions like anaphylaxis.


Whether your allergies are seasonal or triggered by specific foods, Pineapple Health in Phoenix, Arizona offers the expertise and treatments you need to manage your symptoms and prevent severe reactions.

  • Nasal Symptoms: Itchy or runny nose, nasal congestion

FAQs

  • What is the Cost of Allergy Treatment in Phoenix, AZ

    The cost of allergy treatment in Phoenix can vary based on the type of allergens and the treatment methods used. Many patients benefit from a combination of allergy testing and immunotherapy. Most insurance providers cover these treatments, but costs can vary depending on your insurance plan and treatment frequency.


    During your consultation, we will discuss your specific treatment options and provide a detailed breakdown of the costs involved, ensuring that you receive the most cost-effective solution that fits your needs.

  • Will my insurance cover allergy testing and treatment?

    Insurance coverage for allergy testing and treatment can vary depending on your insurance policy and provider. Most health insurance plans cover allergy testing and treatment as part of their benefits, while others may require pre-authorization or impose deductibles and copayments. It is important to consult your insurance provider to understand your coverage options and any out-of-pocket expenses that may apply. 

  • Why are my allergies getting worse?

    Environmental factors, such as increased exposure to allergens like pollen or year-round exposure to dust mites, can trigger a heightened immune response. Additionally, changes in indoor environments due to air pollution or increased use of carpeting and upholstery can contribute to worsening allergies. Seasonal changes, so-called “allergy season”, mean that fluctuations in pollen and other allergens can also lead to an exacerbation of allergy symptoms. In the state of Arizona, there are two allergy seasons which include springtime and fall, but some patients deal with allergies all year long.



  • How are allergies diagnosed?

    Allergy diagnosis often involves a comprehensive evaluation of symptoms, medical history review, and allergy testing, such as skin prick tests or blood tests, to identify specific allergens.



  • What are the treatment options for allergies?

    Allergy treatment options may include allergy medications (antihistamines, corticosteroids, decongestants), avoidance strategies, immunotherapy (allergy shots), or lifestyle modifications.



  • Is immunotherapy only used for environmental allergies?

    No, immunotherapy can treat various types of allergies, including environmental allergies (pollen, dust mites, etc.), pet allergies, mold allergies, and certain food allergies. The specific allergens targeted during immunotherapy will be determined based on the individual’s allergies.



  • Can immunotherapy help with asthma?

    Yes, immunotherapy can be beneficial for patients with allergic asthma. Allergy treatment can help reduce airway inflammation and improve asthma control in individuals with allergic triggers.



  • Can allergies be prevented?

    While it is not always possible to completely prevent allergies, certain strategies can help minimize exposure to allergens and reduce the severity of allergic reactions. These may include keeping indoor environments clean, using air filtration systems, avoiding known triggers, and following proper medication management.
