Alpha-gal Acupuncture

Alph-gal syndrome is a food allergy believed to be caused by a tick bite from the Lone Star tick. This is a common tick in mid-Missouri and in Phelps County. Symptoms of alpha-gal include hives, itching skin (eczema), headaches, stomach pain, and diarrhea. Alpha-gal is often associated with a food allergy to red meat. There are diagnostic test for Alpha-gal syndrome. These tests are often ordered by your primary care doctor.

Patients often seek relief from Alpha-gal with acupuncture. The most common and most effective acupuncture treatment is auricular allergy treatment.

Auricular acupuncture is rather painless, if often takes 6 to 12 weeks to complete. Patients are seen one time a week in the clinic, and they do home care daily. Many patients find their symptoms have completely resolved after their care.

If you been suffering from Alpha-gal, consider giving acupuncture a try. Our doors are always open at Moreland chiropractic clinic. Dr. Moreland has been practicing acupuncture for 30 years, there are very few doctors with his experience.
