Determination of specific allergens can be assessed through allergy testing here in the office. This testing consists of either testing the patient’s blood or by serial endpoint skin testing by injecting small amounts of serum under the skin. Treatment can then be customized to your specific needs. You can then take your treatment at home either by injection or sublingual drops (drops placed under the tongue).
*The testing of chemical and food allergies is unique to River City Allergy & Medical. Patients come from all over Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, the Pan-handle of Florida and much of Georgia to receive this unique and highly effective treatment.
