Allergy Immunotherapy
Kadivar Family Medicine uses scratch testing! This is the gold standard for allergy screening, and allows for the isolation of precisely which allergens are troubling you! Once we know what is causing your problems, we provide immunotherapy solutions to vastly improve your quality of life!
The scratch test checks for allergic reactions to 43 environmental and 23 food allergens that can be found in your state --these can range from trees and grasses to molds and cat dander, as well as certain foods. Immunotherapy has been practiced, tested, and improved upon for over 100 years!
Immunotherapy is different from medications because it actually changes how allergens affect the body, thereby providing a long term cure for allergies.

What are Allergies?
Allergies are diseases of the immune system that cause an overreaction to substances called allergens.
What is a Skin Scratch Test?
A scratch test is a method for medical diagnosis of allergies that attempt to provide a small, controlled, allergic response. It is a painless way of determining which allergens are causing the problem to the patient.
