Are you ready to address the sneezing noses, coughs, and frequent missed school and workdays? Are you ready to address the underlying cause of your child’s allergies? To address your child's allergies and provide the best services to our pediatric patients, we are privileged to offer Allergychoices Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT) through collaboration with Allergychoices.Wellness 4 KIDS utilizes the researched and clinicially proven LaCrosse Method. The LaCrosse Method Protocol has been used safely and effectively for more than 50 years in the U.S. with no reported life-threatening reactions. More than 275,000 patients around the country have benefited from the most widely used published U.S. protocol that treats food and environmental allergies. The protocol was developed by internationally regarded allergy specialists through decades of clinical experience and research.
Sublingual immunotherapy has been endorsed by the World Health Organization as an alternative to allergy shots and has been used globally for over 100 years. The use of sublingual immunotherapy is supported by clinical research recognized by The Cochran Collaboration as an effective treatment for reducing allergy symptoms and medication use. The Agency for Healthcare Quality Research has published review studies on the effectiveness of sublingual immunotherapy as an effective and safe option for treating allergic rhinitis and resulting asthma symptoms.
The SLIT allergy drops are derived from FDA approved allergy extract and are provided and billed directly to clients by Allergychoices. The LaCrosse Method Practice Protocol was developed by Dr. David Morris and his physician colleagues at Allergy Associates of LaCrosse, Wisconsin, and has been used by thousands of providers across the US.
Most clients who follow daily treatment instructions may finish in 3 to 5 years. It also depends on your child’s type of allergies, severity, and how well the treatment plan is followed consistently. It may take longer for complex allergies. The goal of SLIT therapy is to train the immune system to stop reacting to what your child is allergic to. This can be especially beneficial to children with the goal of preventing or mitigating further allergic disease progression.
The LaCrosse Method of SLIT has shown many patients to have a reduced need for allergy medication, reduced allergy related medical visits, and allergy related illnesses, as well as the ability to better participate in life with less allergy symptoms. Effectively treating children’s allergies early in life may result in long-term cost savings for medical care.
At Wellness 4 KIDS, pediatric clients will begin their allergy wellness journey with obtaining IgE approved allergy blood testing to identify and confirm allergies. Accurate allergy testing will be used for the foundation of the LaCrosse Method allergy treatment protocol.
