Northway Clinic’s allergists diagnose and treat allergic diseases in adults and children.
Allergies affect around 25% of the general population. Many allergic patients do not take their allergy seriously and are suffering from subsequent complications, e.g. allergic asthma or are subject to unnecessary dietary restrictions.
An allergy is an immune system response to a foreign substance that’s not typically harmful to your body. These foreign substances are called allergens. They can include various substances present in your surroundings. They can get into your body through food, airways, injections or insect bites.
The most common allergens include food, pollen, dust mites, pillow feathers, pet hair, microscopic fungi, drugs, and chemical substances (household chemicals, cosmetics).
In most cases, allergy starts in early childhood. This puts a special responsibility on parents, who have to manage the safety and unimpeded development of their child. To help parents in this endeavour a proper diagnosis and early therapeutic interventions are essential. This not only leads to an alleviation of current symptoms but can also counteract a deterioration or prevent the development of new allergies.
Allergies can be effectively managed. It is vital to get a timely and accurate diagnosis. The most important thing is to detect the allergen that causes the allergy. This can be done with the help of specific allergy diagnostic testing.
Northway Clinic allergists carry out the necessary examination, provide advice and develop a treatment plan for your individual condition.
