Massage has been used for many thousands of years as a natural pain relief treatment. We use massage therapy in our Highland Park, Saint Paul, Minnesota office, as it works great in conjunction with the chiropractic care that Robert C Slater, DC provides. Massage treatment does much more than just feel great. It also offers many benefits as well. Some are physical and others are psychological, and here are just a few of each:
- Pain relief (back, neck, shoulder, legs, arm, and headache pain)
- Improved range of motion and flexibility
- Improved circulation
- Improved immune system function
- Enhanced sports performance
- Reduced depression or anxiety
- Higher levels of energy
- Decreased levels of fatigue
- Easier time getting and staying asleep
- Easier labor and delivery for expecting mothers
- Reduced stretch marks
- Reduced scar tissue
Advantages like these have been seen to be particularly helpful for individuals who suffer with chronic conditions such as arthritis and asthma. Massage has also proven advantageous for burn injury patients, people with higher than healthy blood pressure, and women who suffer from premenstrual syndrome. Even preterm infants have shown benefits with massage therapy as they have better levels of weight gain.
