Say "Good-bye" to Pain and Stress with Massage Therapy
Massage is one of the oldest therapies used around the world for its many health benefits. Though it is often regarded as a luxury treatment in the U.S., massage can actually contribute to better stress management and relief from neck, back and shoulder pain. Both stress and pain are chronic problems among adults, affecting millions of people every year. With massage therapy, many of those individuals can achieve relief without the need for invasive medical treatments or medications.
Often, pain and muscle tension are a direct result of chronic, daily stresses. By learning to confront stress head-on, it is often possible to simultaneously reduce or eliminate pain altogether. For example, massage has been shown to alleviate stress and loosen tight muscles at the same time. This not only helps with back and neck pain, but it can also eliminate tension headaches. Relaxed muscles can further help contribute to improved flexibility and a better response to chiropractic treatment.
