GREENVILLE, N.C. -
It's the second day of spring and a lot of allergy sufferers are already having a tough time.
But medication is not your only option.
New research suggests acupuncture could be the answer.
The pollen is already everywhere and it's only going to get worse as we get into spring. And it brings with it, itchy eyes, sneezing and sinus pressure.
It can get exhausting.
Dr. Steven Cohen is a doctor of alternative medicine, and along with treating chronic pain, he says more and more people are coming into his office for allergy relief.
Dr. Cohen combines acupuncture with chiropractic adjustments to balance out your body, which he says in turn strengthens your immune system.
"If we can create better integration of our own system and improve her adrenal function, her neural function, her acupuncture function, and put her into a more balanced state, she can breathe in pollens and breathe them back out," said Dr. Steven Cohen, Go Beyond Relief.
