Allergen Immunotherapy
Find Long-Term Allergy Relief with Allergen Immunotherapy at Family Center for Allergy and Asthma
Are seasonal or year-round allergies disrupting your life? If you’ve been looking for "allergy shots near me," you are taking a vital step toward effective, long-term relief. At Family Center for Allergy and Asthma, we specialize in allergen immunotherapy, commonly known as allergy shots. Our customized treatments help reduce your sensitivity to allergens, improving your quality of life.
What is Allergen Immunotherapy?
Allergen immunotherapy is a medical treatment designed to train your immune system to tolerate allergens that typically trigger allergic reactions. Common allergens treated with immunotherapy include:
​
-
Pollen (trees, grasses, weeds)
-
Mold spores
-
Pet dander
-
Dust mites
​
This therapy involves regular administration of small doses of allergens, gradually increasing over time to build immunity or tolerance.
How Does Allergen Immunotherapy Work?
Allergic rhinitis occurs when your immune system mistakenly identifies harmless substances as threats. This triggers the release of histamines, leading to inflammation and the symptoms mentioned above. Common triggers include:
​
-
Seasonal allergens (pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds)
-
Year-round allergens (dust mites, mold, or pet dander)
Who Can Benefit from Allergy Shots?
Allergen immunotherapy is ideal for patients who:
-
Experience severe allergic reactions.
-
Do not find relief with medications alone.
-
Want to reduce their reliance on daily allergy treatments.
-
Suffer from allergic rhinitis, asthma, or insect sting allergies.
Why Choose Allergen Immunotherapy?
Unlike medications that only treat symptoms, allergy shots address the root cause of your allergies. Benefits include:
-
Reduced sensitivity to allergens.
-
Long-term symptom relief, even after treatment ends.
-
Improved quality of life with fewer allergy-related disruptions.

Here are some examples of how allergy shots have helped our patients:
"Now I can really see a difference where shots are actually helping me.
Only a little runny nose in the morning.
Before shots I would go through 10-15 tissues a day because of runny nose.
It was horrific in the spring.
Not this year.
Not living like this any more."
Child: "There is a lot of improvement.
I haven't had to have any medicine the whole year basically.
My nose doesn't feel clogged any more.
Compared to what it was, I don't feel anything.
Basically nothing at all during the spring."
Parent: "Before he was constantly blowing his nose and was stuffy.
Now it seems very minor."
"Parent: "This year he doesn't seem to have eye irritation.
He's been better around dogs."
Child: "I visited my friend 2 days ago.
She has a dog that likes to cling to me and my mom.
I didn't have any allergic reactions."
"I have already noticed a reduction in allergies.
I have started to sleep at my partner's place.
The cat likes me.
They are clearly working.
It's amazing and already working!"
"I feel like I've gotten better with allergies
Especially indoors
Less itchy
Less sneezy
I can put my cats on my face
Even going out for walks, I feel okay
It's weird since allergy meds used to not work
I am not even thinking about my allergies any more or not being able to breathe
It's so nice!"
