Allergy Testing In Bellevue TN

Have you been itching, sneezing, coughing, wheezing, or experiencing similar symptoms? If so, you may be having an allergic reaction to something in your environment. Here at our Bellevue urgent care clinic, Harpeth Valley Health Center, we can determine what type of allergies you have through minimally invasive testing that only lasts about 20 to 30 minutes. This testing involves applying small amounts of potential allergens to your system and then checking to see if they result in any inflammation (an allergic reaction).
Once we find a positive response, we can then create a custom serum that will serve as your immune therapy treatment. Through this treatment, your body builds a higher level of tolerance to the allergens, which allows you to significantly minimize your symptoms and live a more comfortable life.
