Dry Needling and Acupuncture are just a few of the tools we use to help you feel your best. The amazing benefits of salt therapy (also known as ‘halotherapy’) first came to light in the mid-1800s when, Felix Bochkovsky, a health official in Poland made the observation that salt mine workers rarely suffered from any colds, respiratory ailments or lung diseases. Bochkovsky attributes this to the sal
t aerosol being inhaled on a daily basis. People with asthma, allergies, emphysema and other respiratory problems began heading to the salt mines, and speleotherapy (salt cave therapy) was born. Furthermore, the anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of the dry sodium chloride aerosol help in treating ear infections and certain skin conditions such as psoriasis, dermatitis, and eczema. Although salt therapy is new to the U.S., it is frequently used in many countries of Eastern Europe. At The Salt Pad, we use a special machine called a Halogenerator to mimic the therapeutic effects of the salt mines by crushing medical grade salt into microscopic particles that are gently circulated throughout the room. All you need to do is sit back and relax in our comfortable leather recliner chairs and experience the benefits to your lungs and skin.
