mmpc Holland ENT Physicians are Offering SLIT Procedure for Allergies

(GRAND RAPIDS, MICH., ) – mmpc’s ENT physicians in Holland, Richard Strabbing, DO, and Tracy Orton, DO, are now offering a non-invasive approach to the treatment of allergies. The treatment is known as "Sublingual Immunotherapy," or SLIT. SLIT utilizes an allergen solution in droplet form, and the drops are placed under the tongue on a daily basis. With SLIT treatment, the physicians do not use shots or needles. Over the course of treatment, this therapy reduces sensitivity to allergens. Sublingual immunotherapy has a very good safety profile, and is well-tolerated by both adults and children.

Sublingual is the medical term for "under the tongue." Some patients who need allergy treatment, but have decided against allergy shots, may find the drops more suitable for their needs.

Drs. Strabbing and Orton are located at:
