Low Back Pain? Massage Proven to Help!

Everyone suffers from low back pain every now and then. But sometimes, low back pain is a persistent and debilitating condition that just does not respond to traditional treatments. What can you do?

Massage therapy proven to relieve back pain

In a recent study, researchers enrolled 401 patients with chronic low back pain with no identifiable reason for their pain. After 10 weeks of massage therapy sessions, two-thirds reported their back pain was significantly reduced or gone altogether! That’s amazing! And with no drugs, shots, or other temporary treatments that only mask the real problem for the pain. Read full details of the study here.

Massage Therapy Effective Treatment for Back Pain

According to a research review and analysis  commissioned by the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, massage therapy has been found to be an effective treatment for back pain:

True Sciatica or Piriformis Syndrome?

Sciatica refers to irritation of the sciatic  nerve that arises from nerve roots in the lumbar spine. The most common cause of sciatic nerve irritation, or “true” sciatica is compression of one or more of its component nerve roots due to disc herniation or spinal degeneration in the lower lumbar region. Depending on the severity of the compression and/or inflammation of the sciatic nerve components, sciatica may extend into the buttock area, into the thigh, or sometimes all the way down the leg to the foot.

Self-Care Tool for Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis (PLAN-tur fas-e-I-tis) is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It involves pain and inflammation of a thick band of tissue, called the plantar fascia, which runs across the bottom of your foot — connecting your heel bone to your toes.

Massage Found to Benefit Osteoarthritis Patients

While not a cure for arthritis, massage therapy can ease the symptoms associated with inflammation. Massage helps to reduce muscle spasms and compression associated with arthritic joint disorder.
