SALT ROOM CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENTS- A NEW REVOLUTIONARY APPROACH TO ECZEMA TREATMENT

Salt Therapy Has Been Proven to Help Alleviate Eczema

If you are suffering from eczema, salt therapy will come to your aid by activating multiple physiological processes in your body. The salt particles will have favorable effects on your hair and on the blood microcirculation of the skin. The salt particles will also kill bacteria and fungi and possess anti-inflammatory properties. As the course progresses, the itching sensation on your skin stops and minor cracks vanish. Salt therapy sessions in the salt room will also help you overcome your dependence on prescription drugs. Besides making your skin look good and feel better, halotherapy also reduces stress and strengthens your defense system so you won’t fall prey to disease easily.

What is Eczema

About 1 out of every 10 kids develops a skin condition called eczema. This year, more than 500,000 people will develop shingles. Approximately 1 in 30 people will develop the skin condition known as dermatitis.And, nearly 1 in 16 people suffer from recurring acne. Those are some amazing statistics! And, to paint an even darker picture - these statistics are getting worse year after year. The question you want to ask yourself if you or a loved one has any type of skin condition is what is the underlying cause of this condition?

When looking at the etiology, i.e. cause or origin of various skin conditions one can see a very strong similarity between them, an irritation or sensitivity problem. Most forms of intervention involve strict avoidance strategies and chemical ridden medications (side effects are inevitable). The culprit of the irritation or sensitivity often times goes undetected. This is concerning, especially since the real problem is not being addressed, and on top of that we add more chemical stress to the body by way of “treatment”.

A Few thoughts About THE CONDITION KNOWN AS ECZEMA

• The term eczema refers to a number of different skin conditions in which the skin is red and irritated and occasionally results in small, fluid-filled bumps. The most common cause of eczema is atopic dermatitis, sometimes called infantile eczema although it occurs in infants and older children.  

• The word "atopic" describes conditions that occur when someone is overly sensitive to allergens in their environment such as pollens, molds, dust, animal dander, and certain foods. "Dermatitis" means that the skin is inflamed, or red and sore. (NOTE: finding the “real culprit” to allergies and sensitivities is like finding a needle in a haystack, and I find most conventional testing procedures to be severely limited and inaccurate)  

• Kids who get eczema often have family members with hay fever, asthma, or other allergies. Some experts think these kids may be genetically predisposed to get eczema, which means characteristics have been passed on from parents through genes that make a child more likely to get it. (NOTE: This is one major reason to address your allergies and sensitivities prior to having children)  

• About half of the kids who get eczema will also someday develop hay fever or asthma themselves. (NOTE: This is why a parent would want to address childhood allergies and sensitivities immediately instead of hoping they will grow out of it)  

According to most people, websites and medical institutions… “There are currently no known cures for eczema, there are only treatments available that can effectively manage the condition and reduce some of the symptoms”. The truth is I have heard many stories of eczema, dermatitis, shingles, acne, etc. being completely eliminated with a new method of allergy and sensitivity testing/treatment. The key is finding the real cause of the skin irritation or sensitivity and addressing it directly.

How Can Chiropractic Help With Eczema

Chiropractic helps improve the function of the spine and remove the interference within the central nervous system, thus allowing the innate intelligence of the body, to return us to a state of optimal health. We recognise that the body has the innate power to 'grow' a baby, beat a heart, digest food, and all without one conscious thought by us. Just imagine if this power was released within your body, without any interference! The only way chiropractic can help is if you suffer from subluxations. The most important region of the spine is the upper neck because in this area the spinal bones surround the brain stem and this is an important part of the brain, which influences many of our body functions.

I generally find that children with eczema have better results than adults who may have had symptoms for many years. I would estimate that 25% people get very good results, 50% some improvement and 25% not much of a symptomatic change. But these results are much higher once treated in the salt rooms. I always encourage people to combine chiropractic with a healthy lifestyle and I believe that nutrition is very important. Remove additives, preservatives, processed foods and drink lots of water. Food intolerance testing (not allergy) is a must for everyone with eczema and I recommend all people who have eczema to have this performed.

Combine the healing powers of the salt room with these treatments you end up have results that are astonishing. Call Dr. Yoav Stein D.C. at 818-922-0535 to schedule your appointment now, and see how the benefits of chiropractic treatment in the salt rooms can alleviate your condition.
