Alpha-Gal Syndrome Supportive Care in Greensboro, NC
Integrative Acupuncture & Electric Stimulation at ABR Acupuncture
Alpha-Gal Syndrome (AGS) is a documented food allergy associated with tick exposure that can cause delayed allergic reactions to mammalian meat and related products. Many individuals diagnosed with AGS are advised to avoid triggering foods and carry emergency medication when needed.
At ABR Acupuncture in Greensboro, NC, we provide supportive, integrative care for individuals living with Alpha-Gal Syndrome who are exploring complementary approaches alongside their conventional medical management.
What Is Alpha-Gal Syndrome?
Alpha-Gal Syndrome is associated with an immune response to galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose (alpha-gal), a sugar molecule found in mammalian meat and certain mammal-derived products. Symptoms may occur several hours after exposure and can range from mild to severe.
Common symptoms may include:
- Hives or skin reactions
- Gastrointestinal discomfort
- Nausea or vomiting
- Swelling
- In some cases, anaphylaxis
Management typically involves avoidance of triggering foods and working closely with a qualified medical provider.

At ABR Acupuncture, we offer acupuncture combined with gentle electrical stimulation as part of a personalized care plan.
Our goal is to support overall wellness and systemic balance through traditional acupuncture techniques while coordinating responsibly with your broader healthcare plan.
This approach is considered complementary care and is not a replacement for emergency allergy treatment or medical supervision.
