Harrisburg Chiropractor Shares Three Important Benefits of Massage Therapy

  • posted: Oct. 03, 2012
Therapeutic rubbing, kneading, tapping, and vibrating of the body’s soft tissues in order to affect healing within have been integral parts of medicine around the world for thousands of years. Here at Skocik Chiropractic, our Harrisburg chiropractor also employs massage to help people achieve full recovery from their injuries and for successful long-term pain management. While many people think it only feels good, massage has some very specific medical benefits that beat back pain, headaches, and many other painful conditions.

Pain Relief—Massage is excellent for relieving back pain, neck pain, headaches, and pain from various injuries around the body. It releases endorphins into the system, which are the body’s natural painkillers. It also reduces inflammation, increases nourishing circulation to injured tissues and ushers toxins out of these same tissues, leading to accelerated tissue healing.

Stress Relief—Stress is more than unpleasant, it is unhealthy. Our Harrisburg chiropractor finds that the majority of his patients experience an improvement in such conditions as: blood pressure, anxiety and headaches after massage therapy. It relieves stored up tension in the body and helps relax muscles for increased wellness.

Complements Chiropractic Care—While chiropractic care focuses on the alignment of the vertebrae to improve the function of your nervous system, soft tissue therapy focuses on the spine’s supporting muscles, ligaments, tendons and fascia so that the entire body adapts better to spinal adjustments. It tones the entire musculoskeletal system. Since each aspect of your posture depends on both the alignment of the vertebrae and your muscles’ ability to support proper alignment, the two therapies go hand in hand to ensure long-term relief from back pain, neck pain, headaches and a host of other painful problems.

Our Harrisburg chiropractor has helped hundreds of patients with a combination of these therapies. To learn more in person, schedule an appointment with us by calling 717-441-0773.
