Can Massage Therapy for Back Pain Help?

July 7, 2017 By Renee White

massage therapy treatment for back painBack pain can be very debilitating for a person who has back muscles that are damaged. However, if performed correctly, massage therapy treatment for back pain can help correct imbalances and restrictions in the muscles. The therapy can help alleviate pain, but if the pain is not relieved through massage, you will need to seek proper intervention from a qualified professional like a chiropractor. You should also make sure that you only allow a professional to perform your rehabilitating massage.

Massage Therapy Treatment for Back Pain and Other Treatments

Massage therapy can be used in combination with other treatments such as chiropractic care and physical therapy. Research has concluded that when massage therapy is used for pain relief, physical healing actual occurs within the body. Massages are usually performed for relief and not as a cure but can also bring psychological peace to the patient as well.

The Different Types of Massage Therapy

Patients who are seeking massage therapy treatment for back pain should be aware of the different massage styles. Swedish, deep tissue and Shiatsu massages are the most common, but every therapist may have their own technique. One therapist may be more focused on a holistic approach to massage therapy while another therapist may choose a more scientific approach. If you are looking to treat back pain with massage therapy, an orthopedic massage may be a better choice.

What Causes Back Pain?

Back pain is usually caused by:

  • Low circulation in body tissue
  • Inflammation
  • Muscle constriction

Massage therapy treatment for back pain will help to loosen muscles and aid in circulation. Toxins will also be removed from the body during massage. Patients will only feel temporary relief unless they have regularly scheduled therapy sessions.

Specific care plans may be required for patients who have muscular imbalances or dysfunctions.

It is important for patients to remember that massage therapy treatment for back pain is beneficial for nonspecific back pain when it is used in conjunction with spinal adjustments. Chiropractors use spinal adjustments and other therapies to treat the structures around the muscles. The adjustments help to improve function, reduce nervous system irritability in the back and increase range of motion.
