Can Massage help reduce my Low Back Pain?
A study in the July 2011 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine found that massage provides lasting relief of lower back pain for most people participating in the study. Massage provides a few effects that help relieve pain:
- Improved circulation helps sore muscles recover from physical activity and injury.
- Muscle relaxation improves range of motion.
- Increased endorphin levels reduce pain. Endorphins are body chemicals that decrease pain and increase feelings of euphoria or well-being.
At Sutherland Chiropractic we do some massage and stretching as part of your treatment if we think it will help you. There are also 2 remedial massage therapists for longer massage only appointments.
