Long‒Term Relief from Allergies Starts Here
At Core Medical Center, we provide advanced allergy testing and immunotherapy for patients. Whether you suffer from environmental allergies, seasonal sensitivities, or food‒related reactions, our comprehensive allergy treatment program is designed to help you find lasting relief—without relying on daily medications.
While antihistamines and nasal sprays only mask your symptoms temporarily, immunotherapy targets the root cause. With our customized allergy treatment plans, patients experience fewer flare-ups, improved energy levels, better sleep, and a better quality of life year-round.

What is Immunotherapy?

Allergy immunotherapy retrains your immune system by gradually exposing it to small doses of the allergens causing your symptoms. These high-potency extracts are administered either through injections (allergy shots) or sublingual tablets/drops, depending on the allergen type. Over time, your body develops a natural tolerance, dramatically reducing symptoms and allergic reactions.
