Benefits of Massage Therapy
Utah Spine and Accident Clinic, a chiropractor in West Jordan, uses massage therapy to address a wide variety of health problems.
What exactly is massage therapy, and what does it treat?
Massage therapy involves the manual manipulation of muscles and other soft tissues to create a health benefit. The technique has been around since ancient times. Modern chiropractors can use massage therapy to alleviate back pain, headaches, and whiplash, depression brought on by mental health issues, the pain of fibromyalgia, and other conditions. Various types of massage exist. They include:
Swedish massage - This involves deep circular movements, long strokes, kneading, tapping, and vibrating. The technique is used to improve general muscle tone and improve blood circulation.
Deep tissue massage – This uses slow and specific strokes to address specific muscle injuries and chronic problems that cause pain and discomfort.
Sports massage- It’s a combination of Swedish massage and deep tissue massage that is tailored to the needs of athletes.
Trigger point massage - concentrates on the parts of the body where pain is concentrated or that cause pain to other parts of the body.
What are the benefits of massage therapy?
Massage therapy can address a number of conditions, including back or neck pain, headaches, anxiety, insomnia brought on by stress, injuries caused by automobile accidents or playing sports, and joint pain. Massage therapy has a very low risk of side effects when performed by a licensed professional.
