The sun is out, the flowers are blooming… and your hay fever is back with a vengeance.

Most of us think of hay fever as a runny nose and itchy eyes. But if you’re also feeling tired, foggy, or achy — it might not just be the pollen count.

At Luck’s Yard Clinic, we often see patients surprised by how allergy symptoms can affect the whole body. Let’s break it down…

The Unexpected Side Effects of Hay Fever

When your immune system is constantly battling allergens, it can leave you feeling:

  • Fatigued and foggy-headed
  • Tense around the head, neck, and shoulders
  • Prone to headaches and jaw discomfort
  • Congested with sinus pressure

These symptoms aren’t “just allergies” — they’re signs your body’s working overtime.

So what can help?

You might reach for antihistamines — but for more natural and long-term support, consider these therapies available at Lucks Yard Clinic:

Acupuncture with Elaine Williams

Acupuncture has been shown to reduce nasal symptoms, improve breathing, and calm the immune response. It’s a gentle, drug-free way to help balance the body and ease hay fever flares.

Cranial Osteopathy

Sinus pressure? Cranial osteopathy uses gentle techniques to release restrictions in the skull and neck. This can improve drainage, ease facial tension, and reduce headaches — especially useful during high pollen months.

Chiropractic Care

Allergy season can aggravate existing tension in your spine and shoulders. Chiropractic care helps improve nervous system function and relieve mechanical stress — giving your body space to function more efficiently.
