LiceDoctors Lice Treatment Service Spreads Its Wings to Chattanooga Tennessee

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - Dec. 14, 2014 - PRLog -- LiceDoctors Head Lice Treatment and Nit Removal Service announces the opening of its in-home, personalized lice treatment service in Chattanooga and surrounding areas. The company has been successfully treating families in Tennessee for several years in Nashville, Memphis, and Knoxville.

The national head lice removal service, which is the largest in the country, presently makes house calls in over 85 major cities and their neighboring areas across the United States. LiceDoctors, which is owned and operated by Wendy Beck and Karen Sokoloff, continues to expand, owing to the unique combination of its doctor-developed, all natural protocol combined with high quality, expert lice technicians, and the convenience and privacy that in-home treatment provides.

According to LiceDoctors owner, Wendy Beck, who has 20 years of lice treatment experience and is a nationally known speaker on the subject of head lice, "Chemical lice products do not penetrate the shell of nits, so you can not rely on them for putting an end to head lice. It is imperative that the lice eggs or nits be physically extracted from the hair. Parents often try this on their own but this is a more difficult task than they expect. The nits blend in with the hair and they are small, making them difficult to find in the hair if you do not have experience with nitpicking. Our treatment protocol was developed and copyrighted 19 years ago by our medical doctor director and it works; we have the record to prove it, with over 125,000 successfully treated clients."

Jennifer D. in Chattanooga is one such client. "I figured how hard can this be? I will buy the drug store lice shampoo, comb through the hair, and be done with it. Wrong. Then I tried a prescription which set me back $300 and still didn't get rid of the nits. Finally, my friend referred me to LiceDoctors and they used oil for combing and then methodically picked out the nits. The simple follow-up plan ensured that if there were any teeny nits left in the hair, that I would get them out. It was simple and it worked!  Honestly, this is a job for a professional!"

School districts in and around Chattanooga are now advised by the Tennessee Department of Health that children with nits may be permitted to return to school. This is in accordance with recommendations by the American Associatiion of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control. As a result most districts around Chattanooga permit children with nits into school after treatment. The jury is still out as to whether this shift in policy will increase the incidence of head lice. Hamilton County and Catoosa County have dropped their "no nit" policies.
