Benefits of Massage Therapeutics

Therapeutic massage has been used for millennia as a natural pain relief treatment. We use massage therapy in our Saint Paul office, as it works great in conjunction with the chiropractic care that Dr. Slater provides. Massage does much more than just feel amazing. It also offers many benefits as well. Some are physical and others are psychological, and here are medically documented benefits:

• Pain reduction (back, neck, shoulder, legs, arm, and headache pain)
• Increased range of motion and mobility
• Improved cardiovascular function
• Enhanced sports performance
• Decreased depression or anxiety
• Increased levels of energy
• Decreased levels of fatigue
• Reduced insomnia
• Easier labor and delivery for expecting mothers
• Less stretch marks
• Less scar tissue

We Can Help Patients Find Support From Neck Problems and Headaches with Massage Therapy

Advantages like these have been seen to be shown to be helpful for individuals who suffer with chronic conditions such as arthritis and asthma. Massage has also proven advantageous for burn injury patients, people with hypertension, and women who suffer from premenstrual syndrome. Even preterm infants have shown benefits with massage therapy as they have increased levels of weight gain.
