Increasing studies show massage therapy provides relief for chronic back and neck pain.
According to the CDC, an estimated 50 million Americans suffer from chronic pain - that's more than diabetes, heart disease, and cancer combined!
Up until recently, people would be steered toward prescription opioids for this chronic pain relief. We now know those carry serious risk of addiction, abuse, and overdose.
Massage therapy is a safe effective alternative option for managing pain. And massage therapy has become widely accepted for its positive role in integrative health care, especially in pain management.
Massage therapy has also shown positive effect on pain associated with chronic headaches and migraines. Recent studies have shown that patients suffering from tension headaches (which can be linked to both ergonomic and emotional stresses) who receive massage experience a decrease in physical pain as well as significant reduction in stress, anxiety and depression (which can be associated with headache pain).
