Alleviate Neck And Back Pain Through Massage

By Mike Pritsker


There have been numerous complaints about back and neck pain. There was a survey conducted by the United States National Institute of Health Statistics reporting that 15-20% of people in America have discomfort in their neck and back or other related areas. These pains can cause interruptions to daily lives. There is an easy trick to improve the pain and that is through massage therapy.

Everyday life style and even work style might be the reason for neck pains. Many people work in offices where they sit at a desk hunched over a keyboard from nine to five. Well, when you constantly are staring at computer screen and not moving around your neck and shoulders tend to get stiff and tight. This starts the pain that causes many disturbances in their daily lives. Those who work in retail or where they are standing may experience lower back pain. There are many jobs that put a lot of stress on the neck and back. There is also stress that may cause neck and back pain as well. The different stresses make shoulder and neck muscles tense up creating a constant pain that persists if left untreated.

By getting massage therapy it can help short term pain or even chronic pain. Many doctors recommend massage therapy as a treatment that is very effective for a few reasons. To name a few, the reasons are: 1) you don't need to take pharmaceuticals that have side effects; 2) after taking the medications a few hours later the pain persists; 3) the medications only hide the pain and do not solve the actual problem.

All massage therapists are trained to massage specific muscle groups that carry most of our stress and help relieve pain. Therapists are taught to feel knots and tightness and work them out. The Happy Head, located in San Diego, offers a variety of massages that helps to alleviate neck and back pain. The different full body massages help to relieve pain that may be built up in the neck and back.

Massage therapists are taught to go for specific groups of muscles that help to relieve pain by working on the tight areas and knots that may be building. Massage therapy can help reduce stress that is being put on one's shoulders and neck causing pain and disturbing daily lives.

Stretching the neck is very important in keeping pain control to a minimum. When working at an office instead of staying in place for a long time, get up and walk around that way you stretch out the muscles and don't get too tense. Instead of taking medications that have scary and negative side effects try the natural way through massage therapy which will help control pain management and give you positive results after one session.
