Conventional treatment of occipital neuralgia involves use of steroid injection in combination with Lidocaine; the injection gets administered at the root of the affected nerve in order to number the region offering temporary pain relief. Doctors also prescribe NSAIDs for reducing nerve inflammation. However, the most effective treatment of occipital neuralgia is physical therapy. A physical therapy for occipital neuralgia can include manual massages, heat therapy as well as electrical stimulation using TNS units.

During the manual therapy, the therapist uses only his hands for putting pressure on the ailing muscles and influencing the joints for reducing the pain. TENS or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on the other hand is a device used for non-invasive pain management. This device works by sending low intensity electrical impulses from the skin towards the nerved via the electrodes. These electrical impulses block the pain signals so that they cannot reach the patient’s brain and thus rid him from pains caused by occipital neuralgia.

Heat therapy for occipital neuralgia is used to stimulate sensory receptors of the patient that are responsible for responding to cold and heat. This helps in blocking the transmission of the pain signals towards the brain. Another benefit offered by heat therapy is improved blood flow; this in turn reduces the muscle stiffness promoting complete muscle relaxation.

Disparate to classical nail beds famously used by artists or entertainers, these contemporary mats, at times, known as acupressure mat has smallish discus bearing plastic barbs. There isn’t any set everyday use advice, although several makers suggest that one must lie down, generally with neck & back on the spiky projections of the mat, for five to ten minutes & then eventually increasing the time.

Lesser the nails, more challenging it is for the person lying down on it and greater the health gains acquired, according to manufacturers of the Shakti mat. The Swedish firm Team Shakti AB offers the six thousand spike on its main Shakti mat whilst also offering a lesser taxing, more comfy type, Shakti Light mat having eight thousand spiky projections. Makers of the Mat state that their product improves blood supply & encourages the body into an endorphin-releasing state that aids in proffering a state of deep relaxation.

Makers of the Hälsa mat, New York-based Rattlebug LLC of Warwick claim that their 8820 spikes mat would assist in stimulating many acupressure points on the body thus helpful in releasing innate pain respite hormones.

In Acupressure, therapists apply pressure on particular points for creating bodily responses – like relaxing the body or reprieve from pains. With over a hundred acupressure points present in the back area of humans – the use of these mats that have several uniformly interspersed points would basically be hitting several of them and providing many health gains.

Researchers state that till date only early studies have been done on nail mats. A trial which received funding from Shakti examined number of heartbeats per unit of time (BPM), bodily temperature & several physical responses on laying own over nail mats in comparison to a soft-feel bedding in thirty-two entrants in good health during trio twenty minutes sittings.

Temperature of the back was more on the nail mats as compared to the yielding bed which is indicative of augmented blood supply, states scientist E. Olsson from Uppsala Univ. who co-authored the trial which appeared in ‘the Journal of Alternative & Complementary Medicine’ in the initial part of 2011.

Cardiac rate slackened & with greater variability when lying over the Shakti mat – indications of the body’s PSNS (parasympathetic nervous system) being stimulated which is the one that helps in relaxing the body, Olsson mentioned. As the entrants were in sound health, the trial did not compute whether there were any health advantages. Researchers of the trial came to the conclusion that additional trials are required for determining whether endorphins are created.

A trial enrolling thirty-six people ailing from incessant pains in the back & neck, appeared lately in the ‘Alternative Medicine Studies’ medical journal on line. It uncovered that the everyday usage of the nail mat for fifteen minutes till 3 weeks lowered the sufferers peaked pain levels, though did not lessen their usual pain intensity. There weren’t any affects noted on nervousness, slumber & depression. The trial that deployed a placebo set of patients on whom no intercession was done, got no backing from the firms promoting these mats, states Asst. Prof. A. Kjellgren from Karlstad Univ. who helmed the trial.

Owners of centers offering this unique salt treatment aver that the entire micro-climate replete with the most appropriate air-quality, moisture levels as well as sodium particles are potent enough to cleanse our skin, air passage as well as our entire bodies.

In case this salt treatment is sounding rather trendy than science-based – then it actually is. There is absence of any scientific trials done on salt treatment in the United States.

However those owning such halotherapy rooms carefully choose their words when noting that such facility is created for bringing about improvement in the wellbeing of their clientele & are not to be mistaken as a medical establishment.

Typically the forty-five minutes long session of halotherapy would cost around sixty dollars or so.

Alike acupuncture, chiropractics or also neti-pots which received gradual acceptance in the medicinal world, so is the case with salt therapy. Several physicians in the United States are simply unfamiliar with halotherapy.
