Benefits of Massage Therapy

Massage has been used for many thousands of years as a natural pain relief treatment. We use massage therapy in our Decatur office, as it works great in conjunction with the chiropractic care that Dr. Harrison provides. Massage treatment does much more than just feel amazing. It also offers many positive effects as well. Some are physical and others are psychological, and here are some of the proven benefits:

• Pain relief (back, neck, shoulder, legs, arm, and headache pain)
• Enhanced range of motion and mobility
• Improved cardiovascular function
• Enhanced sports performance
• Reduced depression or anxiety
• Higher levels of energy
• Diminished levels of fatigue
• Easier time getting and staying asleep
• Easier labor and delivery for expecting mothers
• Fewer stretch marks
• Reduced scar tissue

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

Benefits such as these have been discovered to be especially 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 improved levels of weight gain.
