There is a prevailing notion that massage therapy is just a splurge activity—and this is a notion our Avon chiropractor wants to dispel. Therapeutic massage has serious and scientifically-established medical benefits ranging from pain relief to immune system boosting,so we make it an essential facet of our Avon wellness care offerings. It would be a real shame if you never tried it!
Massage Therapy for Avon Wellness Care and Pain Relief
Our Avon chiropractor recommends massage therapy as an integral part of many patient treatment plans because it so effectively and naturally assists with pain relief and accelerated healing. Massage offers a whole smorgasbord of benefits that make it more than just a splurge, but rather an essential part of your Avon wellness care and injury recovery plan. Massage can:
- Improve circulation—The rubbing, tapping and kneading rushes fresh, oxygenated blood into tired, injured tissues, some of which may suffer for want of oxygen and nutrients. This helps fuel and accelerate tissue healing.
- Reduce cellular inflammation—Overworked, overstressed muscles often suffer from uncomfortable levels of inflammation that massage can reduce.
- Relieve pain without pills—Massage releases endorphins into your bloodstream; endorphins are your body’s own signature pain relief medicine that works without any unpleasant side effects!
- Improve range of motion—Because massage reduces pain, inflammation, scar tissue (adhesions) and musculoskeletal tensions, it improves your ability to move your muscles naturally, with less pain and stiffness.
- Reduce Stress—Stress can worsen a host of health problems that range from heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes to headaches, a weak immune system, and anxiety. By reducing stress, massage lowers blood pressure, stimulates the immune system and helps you manage life better!
As you see, massage is more than just something to splurge on—it can quite literally improve your health. This is why our Avon chiropractor recommends it for just about all of our patients.
