Allergy Elimination Technique for Pets in Lenexa, KS
Recurring skin and ear allergies can be frustrating for pets and their families. At Mariposa Veterinary Wellness Center in Lenexa, KS, we offer the Allergy Elimination Technique, also known as applied kinesiology, a drug-free desensitization approach that may help reduce or eliminate many types of allergies over several weeks of treatment.
A Holistic Alternative for Frustrating Allergies
Veterinary dermatologists may offer blood or skin allergy testing and exotic diet alternatives, but these treatments are often expensive, require long-term commitment and may provide only a partial response. One of the more exciting holistic options now available for pet guardians dealing with frustrating skin allergies is the Allergy Elimination Technique, also called applied kinesiology. It is an allergy desensitization process originally developed for people and adapted for animals.
How the Allergy Elimination Technique Works
This drug-free, natural approach aims to reduce or eliminate many types of allergies using a combination of selective energy balancing, testing and treatment methods drawn from several disciplines, including acupressure and acupuncture, kinesiology, chiropractic and nutritional medicine. Treatment typically takes place over several weeks, addressing allergens one at a time.
Who Can Benefit?
The Allergy Elimination Technique may be a good fit for pets with:
- Recurring itchy skin, hot spots or paw licking
- Chronic or recurring ear infections linked to allergies
- Suspected environmental or food sensitivities
- Owners who want to reduce reliance on long-term allergy medications
- Pets who have had a limited response to conventional allergy treatment
For many frustrating recurrent skin and ear problems, applied kinesiology may help eliminate allergies over several weeks of treatment.
