Allergy Services

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 places a special responsibility on parents, who must manage their child’s safety and unimpeded development. To help parents in this endeavour, a proper diagnosis and early therapeutic interventions are essential. This not only alleviates current symptoms but can also prevent deterioration or new allergies.

Allergies can be effectively managed. It is vital to get a timely and accurate diagnosis. The most important step is identifying the allergen that causes the allergy. Specific allergy diagnostic tests can help identify it.

Northway Clinic allergists perform the necessary examinations, provide advice, and develop a treatment plan for your individual condition.
