People who get chronic back pain will tell you that it is a life-altering ailment. It has serious implications on the ease of carrying out daily activities. Back pain sufferers can feel completely disabled by their condition and are prone to depression.
Back pain is one of the most common ailments in adults and it can be caused by something simple as a poor lifting habit or even poor sleeping habits. This type of pain really has no boundaries and can last from hours to months. That is a long time for someone to suffer this type of pain and it can be very excruciating.
Treatment can include pills, and therapy, and braces, and acupuncture. However, one method stands out as being effective in helping people with their back pain: massage therapy.
Massage therapy for back pain is a low risk, and non-invasive method of treatment. Not only will this method help in the pain aspect, it also aids in the release of natural chemicals the body produces known as Endorphins.
Historically, the use of massage therapy was not readily accepted by conventional medicine as a treatment of back pain or any other pains for that matter. However, the medical society now accepts this method as a valid complementary treatment, recognising the many therapeutic benefits that it brings.
The aim of massage therapy is quite simple; it increases circulation and blood flow that the affected area with the muscles needs. This stimulates the rejuvenation of the tissues and muscles surrounding the affected area, promoting a relaxed and stress-less flow of blood. Many times people that have back problems; they are not quite sure why they have them. Some feel they have not had an injury to any muscles in the back area so they should not be suffering.
