SALT ROOM CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENTS- A NEW REVOLUTIONARY APPROACH TO COLD AND FLU TREATMENT

How The Salt Room Can Help Your Cold/Flu

Salt Room have been specifically constructed to help cold and flu sufferers relieve their symptoms and feel better in a safe, peaceful environment that feels more like a spa than a high-tech treatment facility.

Around one billion people in the United States alone come down with cold or flu every year. While drugs may ease the symptoms of the common cold or provide a short term cure for the flu virus, it may be only a couple weeks until you’re affected again. Salt Room halotherapy will not only bring relief but also prevent frequent reoccurrence of cold and flu.

If you are suffering from cold or flu, salt therapy will bring relief by opening the nasal airways, killing bacteria and facilitating the drainage of the sinuses. If you are suffering from chest congestion you will start breathing easier as the halotherapy accelerates mucous clearance from your lungs.  These sessions will help drive away sneezing and coughing as well as decrease your dependence on prescription drugs.  Salt therapy also reduces stress which might otherwise weaken your immune system and helps rejuvenate your natural defenses. A complete treatment regiment of 12-24 sessions will provide benefits for as long as 6-12 months.

Salt Therapy Has Been Proven to Help Alleviate Symptoms

Clinical studies published in the New England Journal of Medicine (2006) observe: “Inhalation of hypertonic saline produces a sustained acceleration of mucus clearance and improved lung function. This treatment may protect the lung from insults that reduces mucus clearance and reduces lung disease”. The Journal of Aerosol Medicine (1995) reports tremendous improvements in patients suffering from various types of respiratory diseases (bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive and non-obstructive bronchitis, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis) who underwent treatment with halotherapy in a placebo-controlled clinical trial.  The best remedy for cold and flu treatment and prevention is a blend of science and nature.

How Treatment at The Salt Room Works

Halotherapy simulates the natural microclimate found in salt caves and mines but has the added benefit of a highly controlled sodium chloride flow. Going in for this treatment is just like visiting the spa. You’ll relax in a halochamber with salt coated walls and floor. Dry sodium chloride aerosol containing particles of 1-5 um in size is produced and pushed into this room by a halogenerator. The halogenerator boasts of a microprocessor that monitors and maintains the temperature, relative humidity and mass concentration of aerosol in the chamber. For cold and flu treatment, the environment is saturated with dry sodium chloride aerosol at a mass concentration varying from 1-16 mg/m3 with a particle size of 1-5 um.  A team of highly trained halospecialists are there to help you.  The only side affects reported by a few patients were a slight skin irritation and sometimes small patches of skin rashes which disappear soon after treatment and typically don’t occur after 3-5 sessions. A mild throat tickle has also been reported in some cases.

Cold and Flu Symptoms We Can Help You With

The common cold usually lasts for 5-10 days. The patient suffering from common cold displays symptoms of runny nose, sneezing nasal and sinus blockage, headache and sore throat. Many people confuse flu with common cold. An attack of flu is much more severe than cold. Flu infects the airway tract in the nose and throat that can sometimes spread down into the lungs. It is caused by Type A and B virus. The flu season begins in late fall and continues during winter in the northern hemisphere. A patient with the flu virus experiences symptoms like body aches, high fever, dry cough, red eyes, weakness, flushed skin and dry cough. Severe cases of flu can even prove fatal.  If you have these symptoms of cold or flu, please contact us today to schedule an appointment so we can help you feel well again!

How Does Chiropractic Help With The Cold And Flu

Since its inception, chiropractic has asserted that viruses and microbes don't threaten us all equally and that a healthy immune system easily repels most invaders. The immune system protects us from the flu, as well as any other infectious disease, and strives to get us well again when we do fall ill. Our immune system, like every other system in the body, is coordinated and controlled by the nervous system. For example, nerve cell endings in the skin and white blood cells of the immune system are in intimate contact, and chemicals secreted by the nerves can shut down immune system cells nearby.

Chiropractic corrects spinal abnormalities called vertebral subluxations that result in interference of the nervous system by placing pressure on nerves. Since the nervous system controls all functions of the body, including the immune system, chiropractic care can have a positive effect on immune function.

During an immune response, the brain and the immune system 'talk to each other' and this process is essential for maintaining homeostasis or balance in the body. If the Nervous System is not functioning properly, then the Immune System cannot function at 100%, thus the body becomes fertile ground for bacteria, viruses and illness
