September can be a stressful time of the year for many of us, with the kids heading back to school, shopping for school supplies and new clothing, fall festivities filling up every weekend, and knowing that the holiday months just around the corner. Stress can take its toll on the body, causing us to feel fatigued, achy, irritable, or even causing an upset stomach. Thankfully, there are natural remedies for stress relief, and an excellent option is massage therapy.
At Premier Health, we offer massage therapy as one of our natural and non-invasive services. In chiropractic massage therapy, the approach is based on a powerful healing technique that addresses pain in many levels. Chiropractic massage therapy may benefit you if you suffer from back, neck, or joint pain, or other uncomfortable or painful symptoms. However, chiropractic massage therapy can also be beneficial if you are dealing with stress, anxiety, or even depression.
Not only can stress contribute to chronic illness, but it can also cause us to experience painful and tight muscles. Massage therapy encourages the body to relax, which helps individuals to cope with stress. If you’re having trouble coping with stress and you can feel it in your muscles, massage therapy can help.
There are several types of massage available for people to try, such as swedish massage, deep massage, sports massage, and trigger point massage. A swedish massage is a gentle form of massage that uses long strokes and kneading to help relax the muscles. A deep massage uses slower and more forceful strokes. A sports massage is similar to a swedish massage but is geared toward athletes to help prevent or treat injuries. A trigger point massage focuses on areas of tight muscle fibers.
With this knowledge, it may be tempting to visit your local massage studio for a massage this weekend, but you will help to treat any underlying issues when you see a chiropractor for chiropractic massage therapy. A therapeutic massage performed by a licensed chiropractor at Premier Health will combine the power of massage therapy with the knowledge of a medical practitioner. This approach will help to address any underlying issues that you may be experiencing, helping you to get to the root of the problem.
