Allergy Testing
Get Clear Answers. Breathe Easier. Feel Better.
Sneezing, congestion, rashes, headaches, fatigue—when allergies are the cause, guessing only makes things worse. Our advanced allergy testing helps identify exactly what’s triggering your symptoms so we can create a personalized plan to help you feel your best.
Stop treating symptoms blindly. Start treating the root cause.
What Is Allergy Testing?
Allergy testing is a simple, effective way to determine how your immune system reacts to specific allergens. These include:
- Environmental allergens (pollen, mold, dust mites, pet dander)
- Food sensitivities
- Seasonal triggers
- Indoor irritants
By identifying your specific triggers, we can help reduce reactions, improve daily comfort, and support long-term wellness. We test for over 50 Upstate-specific allergens, including different types of pollen and mold.
What is a Skin Prick Allergy Test?
A fast, common, and minimally invasive way to identify allergy triggers by introducing small amounts of allergens into the skin’s surface, on your back, using a light prick to identify the allergens you react to, and create a treatment plan that is customized to you, with the consultation of our Board Certified Allergist.
You may be a great candidate if you experience:
- Chronic sinus congestion or pressure
- Sneezing, coughing, or post-nasal drip
- Itchy, watery eyes
- Skin irritation or rashes
- Headaches or brain fog
- Fatigue with no clear explanation
- Symptoms that worsen seasonally or in certain environments
Allergy testing is safe for adults and children and can be especially helpful if over-the-counter medications aren’t giving you relief.
Allergy testing is generally well-tolerated. Most patients describe only mild or brief discomfort, if any.
During skin prick tests, your provider pricks areas of your skin with tiny amounts of potential allergens. They wait to see if you develop hives (red raised bumps) that indicate an allergic reaction.
We test for over 75 allergens, with many being specific to Greenville and Spartanburg.
