Wasatch Allergy and Asthma
What we offer
Services
Seasonal Allergies
Seasonal allergies are those that affect you at certain times of the year and are commonly referred to as hay fever or allergic rhinitis.
Allergies
Allergies are a response by the immune system to a substance in the environment, called an allergen, that ordinarily wouldn’t cause a problem.
Asthma
Asthma is a respiratory condition marked by spasms in the bronchi of the lungs, causing difficulty in breathing.
Hives/Urticaria
Hives, also known as urticaria, is a common skin rash in which your skin starts to itch and develops pink or white, raised bumps, or swollen red welts.
Exercise Induced Asthma
Exercised-induced asthma (EIA) is a form of asthma in which narrowing of the airways in your lungs occurs when you exercise.
Angioedema
Angioedema affects the deep layers of skin and soft tissues, causing pain, rapid swelling, and large welts like those you see with hives (urticaria).
Eczema/Atopic Dermatitis
Eczema, which is also known as atopic dermatitis, is an allergic skin condition that causes dryness and itching. Scratching your itchy skin makes it thicken and redden.
Chronic Sinusitis
Chronic sinusitis is a painful condition affecting the sinuses in your face. You have sinuses, which are empty spaces, above your eyes, behind your nose, and within your cheekbones.
About Wasatch Allergy
However, many people suffer from allergy problems in Utah and the surrounding areas. In fact, there are more men, women, and children in Utah with allergies and asthma than most other parts of the United States. This is partly due to residents experiencing similar levels of pollen exposure as people in other areas of the country combined with the more unusual pollens present in the Intermountain West, such as sagebrush and juniper.
Additionally, air quality on the Wasatch front is less than optimal throughout much of the year. Poor air quality contributes to both allergy and asthma problems, as well as causing other health issues. Poor air quality is likely to worsen the inflammatory effects of pollen exposure and lead to increasing numbers of patients with asthma, chronic sinus problems, nasal conditions, and eye allergy issues.
The team members at Wasatch Allergy and Asthma have unrivaled expertise in providing accurate diagnosis and a range of treatments for patients. They use therapies like immunotherapy (allergy shots), rescue inhalers, inhaled and oral steroids, and other medications, and provide practical help to improve your quality of life. Conditions the team specializes in include allergies to pets, chronic sinusitis, insect allergies, food allergies, seasonal allergies, eczema, hives, and anaphylaxis.
