Allergy Testing

Hives, also known as urticaria, are raised, red, itchy welts or bumps that appear on the skin. They can vary in size, shape, and location, and often appear suddenly. Hives can be uncomfortable, but they typically go away on their own. However, chronic or severe cases may require medical attention.

Why Do You Need Allergy Testing?

If you experience allergy symptoms like sneezing, itchy eyes, skin rashes, or breathing difficulties, it can sometimes be challenging to identify the exact cause. Allergy testing is essential in determining what you’re allergic to, whether it’s pollen, pet dander, mold, certain foods, or other allergens. It also helps assess the severity of your allergies, from mild irritation to life-threatening anaphylaxis, and provides insight into which treatments will be most effective in managing your symptoms. Understanding your specific triggers is key to avoiding allergic reactions and significantly improving your quality of life by allowing you to take the right precautions and find the most suitable treatment options.

Why Allergy Testing Matters at All Star Spine Center

You might wonder; what do allergies have to do with non-surgical orthopedic care? More than you think. Allergies, whether seasonal, environmental, or food-related, can trigger widespread inflammation in the body. This inflammation doesn’t just cause the typical sneezing or itching, it can also worsen joint pain, muscle stiffness, and other orthopedic conditions. For many patients, undiagnosed allergies contribute to chronic inflammation that slows healing and exacerbates pain. By identifying and addressing these hidden triggers through allergy testing, we take a whole-body approach to your care, helping reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and support lasting relief.

Types of Allergy Testing

Skin Testing
Allergy testing includes the prick test, where allergens are placed on your skin and pricked to check for reactions; the intradermal test, which involves injecting allergens beneath the skin for more specific results; and the patch test, used for delayed reactions, where allergens are applied to your skin for 48 hours.
Blood Testing
Blood tests measure IgE antibodies in response to allergens. The Specific IgE Blood Test (RAST or ImmunoCAP) helps identify allergies to common triggers and is ideal for those unable to undergo skin testing.

What to Expect During Allergy Testing

Before undergoing allergy testing, your doctor will ask questions about your medical history, symptoms, and potential allergens. The actual testing process typically goes like this:

  1. Preparation: Your doctor will clean the area (often your forearm or back) and may apply a small amount of allergen extracts.

  2. Testing: For skin testing, small drops of allergens will be placed on your skin, and then your skin will be pricked or injected. For blood tests, a small sample of blood is drawn from your arm.

  3. Results: Skin test results are usually available within 20 minutes. Blood test results may take a few days to come back from the lab.

  4. Follow-up: Your doctor will review the results with you and recommend a treatment plan based on the findings.

After Allergy Testing: Treatment Options
