Physiotherapeutic methods do not cure allergies, but only stimulate regenerative processes in the body, as well as stimulate nonspecific desensitization.
Physiotherapy is an assistant in the treatment of allergies
Physiotherapy for allergies is not a treatment, they only help to speed up the recovery processes: they increase the overall resistance of the body, contribute to the speedy regeneration of tissues, reduce swelling, pain. Physiotherapy is usually not prescribed for an acute allergic reaction, since in some cases it can worsen the course of the disease, but it is successfully used during relative remission (weakening or disappearance of symptoms) when it is necessary to restore the affected organs and tissues.
There are several methods of physiotherapy procedures in which allergy treatment becomes more effective:

- Disorders of the nervous system
- Purulent-septic processes in the body
- Pathology of hematopoietic function
- The presence of open bleeding
Treatment results
In allergic diseases, during the course of treatment, the suppression of processes leading to pronounced excitation in the cerebral cortex (sedative), vasoconstrictive, antipruritic, correcting the immune response of the body (immunocorrective), activating the hormonal system of the body (hormone-stimulating), reducing blood viscosity (reocorrective) and manifestations of hypoxia (antihypoxic), antioxidant.
Consequences of lack of treatment
A complication of allergies can be the development of such diseases and pathological conditions as: bronchial asthma, chronic rhinitis, dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema, hemolytic anemia, serum sickness, suffocation, loss of consciousness, anaphylactic shock, death.
