Skin Scratch Testing for Environmental Allergies
With Spring in full bloom, we want to remind you that IHC offers comprehensive skin scratch testing services for environmental allergies. We understand how allergies can affect your quality of life, and we are committed to providing you with the highest quality care to help alleviate your symptoms.
Skin Scratch Testing is the most rapid, sensitive and cost-effective way to detect environmental allergies. Our test covers a wide range of environmental allergens, including grasses, pollens, mold, dust mites, and pet dander. The procedure is done in office and takes less than 25 minutes; It is a non-invasive procedure with minimal discomfort that involves pricking the skin with a tiny amount of an allergen. By observing the skin's reaction to the allergen, we can determine which environmental factors are triggering your symptoms.
Our highly trained team of Naturopathic Doctors and medical professionals will work closely with you to interpret your skin scratch test results and develop a personalized treatment plan. By offering skin scratch testing services, we hope to provide you with the information and treatments you need to manage your symptoms and take control of your health!
