ALLERGY TESTING
GET RID OF YOUR ALLERGY SYMPTOMS AT VICTORY MEDICAL
Allergy testing can improve your quality of life and shed light on the cause or trigger of your bothersome symptoms. Victory Medical is readily available to provide a variety of allergy testing and help patients find relief from troubling, recurring symptoms.
AVAILABLE ALLERGY TESTS:
Skin Testing
Two types of skin testing can identify the substances causing your allergy symptoms. With the pricking method, your Victory Medical doctor will apply an extract of allergens to your skin, lightly pricking the skin to allow exposure to the allergen.
With intradermal skin allergy testing, your dedicated specialist injects a small amount of the allergen into the outer layer of your skin. Your skin reaction will then be evaluated and monitored. It typically tests for the 75 most common allergens in your geographical area. The appointment usually only takes about 30 to 60 minutes.
Blood Test
A blood test is used to measure the presence of antibodies in your blood.
Food Elimination Test
A food elimination test often begins with you keeping a food diary and eliminating certain foods. Utilizing a custom plan devised by your Victory Medical doctor, you will detail your reaction and symptoms that occur during a designated period after eating and eliminating certain foods.

RAPID DESENSITIZATION & IMMUNOTHERAPY
Harvard Program. Unique to Victory.
BUILD UP YOUR ALLERGY TOLERANCE AND GET RID OF ALLERGIES FAST!
Rapid Desensitization is a unique therapy that utilizes the administration of gradually increasing amounts of an allergic material to a patient over a period of time. This causes your immune system to build shields against particles or other allergic components that previously caused negative allergic reactions. Eventually, your body will build up its immunity enough to where the allergic effects will no longer interrupt your life or be life threatening. Everyone is different. Book your consultation with the experts at Victory Medical to learn more about how Rapid Desensitization therapy can help you overcome your allergy struggles.
ASTHMA CONTROL
OUR GOAL IS TO HELP YOU BREATHE EASY
Asthma symptoms can negatively impact your quality of life and can even prevent you from doing everyday tasks. The Victory Medical doctors offer personalized care and an array of premium services to alleviate your asthma symptoms.
AVAILABLE ALLERGY TESTS:
You will visit an experienced specialist from the Victory Medical Group that will discuss your medical history and conduct a physical exam. During this exam, your Victory Medical doctor will examine your eyes, ears, throat, nose, chest, lungs, and skin for indications and symptoms of asthma.
A lung function test measures breathing and can accurately and quickly determine how well you can exhale air.
A spirometry test is used to measure airflow and how well, how much, and how quickly you inhale and exhale air. The test can give your Victory Medical doctor a good indication of your breathing and lung capacity and functioning.
