About Me

Dr. Christine Garvey, DC is a Chiropractic Physician and Functional Medicine Practitioner specializing in holistic, root-cause approaches to chronic health issues. As the founder and operator of Allergy Breakthrough Center, she focuses on addressing acute and chronic conditions such as allergies, sensitivities, histamine intolerances, mast cell activation, digestive, skin, respiratory, cardiovascular, anxiety, mood and behavioral challenges, mold toxicity, EENT issues, detoxification, and inflammation.
Her approach is deeply personal—after facing her own complex health challenges, she spent years seeking solutions through alternative, holistic, and conventional medicine. This experience led her to develop a comprehensive method that integrates Functional Medicine, Neuro-Vagal Rehabilitation, Advanced Allergy Therapeutics (AAT), PSYCH-K, Nutrition, and Muscle Response Testing (MRT) to help patients achieve lasting wellness.

Voted NJ’s Favorite Kids Doctor, Dr. Garvey’s work focuses on identifying the underlying factors that contribute to chronic symptoms for the entire family. Many health issues stem from immune dysfunction, stealth infections, leaky gut and leaky brain issues, inflammation, nutrient issues, toxicity, nervous system imbalances, subconscious stress patterns, and environmental triggers. By addressing these factors, she helps patients restore balance in their bodies and improve overall well-being.

She provides in person and virtual visits. She also utilizes indirect muscle testing and mind-body techniques to evaluate nervous system stress, subconscious beliefs, misperceptions that may be blocking our best efforts. These tools allow her to develop personalized strategies that support healing without always requiring in-person visits.

With a background in chiropractic for 25 years,, functional medicine, nutrition, mind-body therapies and advanced techniques, Dr. Garvey provides a comprehensive perspective on wellness. Her expertise is particularly valuable for individuals seeking alternatives to conventional medical treatments or those who have struggled to find relief through standard approaches.

Her methods have been especially effective for women and families dealing with chronic symptoms, unresolved allergies, gut imbalances, nervous system dysregulation, and emotional stress. Many patients experience drastic improvements as their bodies shift toward a state of balance and resilience.

Dr. Garvey’s work emphasizes education, empowerment, and personalized care, helping individuals and families take an active role in their health. All services, except hands-on chiropractic care, are available virtually.

She has received many awards but her biggest honor is her 2016-2025 award for NJ’s Favorite Kids Doctor by NJ Families.

We love Dr Garvey! If you want someone that actually listens and helps your quality of life, you have to make an appointment. My husband suffers from a grass allergy and eczema, well not anymore because of Dr Garvey. Who knew he was allergic to grass? Cheers to being outside again without getting sick.

Dr Garvey has helped my son so much! He struggled with food allergies and severe eczema after working with Dr. Garvey he’s almost 100% clear. Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel of this tough journey is something I thought we’d never reach; watching my son struggle with this was the hardest thing and I can’t thank Dr. Garvey enough for her knowledge and insight.

Waited to leave this review cause I wasn’t fully convinced it actually worked. But Dr. Garvey is incredible. I was so tired of not being able to breathe and fighting high histamine responses I didn’t know what else to do. She swooped in like a hero and saved the day (and all future days). Additionally to breathing, I now can eat eggs, as well as fly without feeling like my sinuses are going to explode out of my face. I have no explanation, it feels fake but it is real and if you too want to be able to breathe, I 10/10 recommend Dr. Garvey.

I wanted to give you an update on V (for those reading, she is my 7 year old). I held off until I could really see what kind of difference the treatment made and I didn’t want to jinx anything by saying it too soon... but let me just say now, it made a huge difference! My mind is still blown🤯 As you know, she seemed to go through a bit of a detox (herxheimer) the first 3–4 days. She had some pretty intense coughing fits between midnight and 3/4 am, which seemed to hit once the Zyrtec wore off (but I did notice that the Zyrtec was lasting almost 24 hours, before she saw you, it was only lasting about 12). On the second day of detox, she developed a rash on her back, and the next day, a similar rash appeared on her chest. But over the next few days, both the rash and the coughing subsided. Since then, she's been doing great! I haven’t needed to give her ANY nasal spray (Flonase) or eye drops (Pataday) at all since our visit with you!! I’ve also switched her from Zyrtec to Claritin (which did absolutely nothing last year!), and honestly, I don’t even think she needs the Claritin but I'm not quite ready to stop it yet. I’ve still been giving it to her most days out of caution, but there were days (like when she was off from school for Memorial Day) where I didn’t give it to her and she was totally fine! She's also been playing outside, definitely has been around a ton of pollen (it's now June 4th and we saw you April 24th), just had her 7th birthday party a couple weeks ago at a playground that I'm sure was covered in pollen - and she was totally fine! What you do is truly incredible. Her pollen allergies were so severe, and now she’s like a different kid. We are both so beyond grateful for you!! 💓🤗 And then to top it off, she loved the session, loved watching the waterfall during it, and we both just thought you were the best! So sweet, fun and warm! Here's a picture of you and V looking out at the waterfall 🙂

Dr. Garvey is the best. On my first meeting with her she explained how she works, discussed my issues, tested me for my allergies and gave me a treatment for my worst allergy. I was impressed and felt great the next day with no more allergic reactions and no more drugs for my allergy. I was skeptical going into the appointment, but now I am convinced of Dr. Garvey's knowledge and mastery of her profession. She truly cares about her Patients and educated me as to how I can live a better life! Thank You Dr. Garvey.
