Back Massage: A Proven Way to Relieve Back Pain
by: Saurabh Jain
Back pain is a common ailment; however, people may get better within a few weeks through massages. Massage is known to improve blood flow and eases tension, thus providing relaxation to muscles. While gentle massages are pleasurable, it does not necessarily offer relief to sufferers of acute low back pain. Combining massage with other treatments, such as physical therapy and chiropractic, is likely to produce best results. In addition, back massages, in combination with non-medical treatments, back exercises and good diet, ensures gradual pain relief.
Benefits of Back Massage Therapy
According to the American Massage Therapy Association, research proves that massage therapy provides many important health benefits, including:
Improvement in blood circulation in the body, which aids in the recovery of muscle soreness due to physical activity.
Relaxation of muscles for an improved range of motion. Muscle relaxation also helps in the treatment of insomnia.
Increased endorphin levels. The increase in endorphin levels is actually one of the greatest benefits of the massage therapy. Endorphins are body chemicals that lend a feel-good feeling, which is very effective in managing chronic pain.
It is important to ensure that precautions are exercised while receiving massage therapy. Your muscle should relax in response to the pressure applied by a massage therapist, in the absence of which, it is possible that muscles are inflamed. In such cases, you should not opt for back massages as a treatment option and consult his/her doctor for the treatment. Most muscle spasms require four massage treatments, usually spread over a six weeks period, to achieve best results. If muscle spasms do not respond to the neuromuscular therapy within two massages, try using another therapy.
If you have severe lower back pain, it is advisable that you undergo thorough medical checkup before commencing the massage therapy.
