Benefits of Massage Therapy

Massage has been used for thousands of years as a natural pain relief treatment. We use massage therapy in our Henderson, Nevada office, as it works great in conjunction with the chiropractic care that Dr. Russell and Dr. Janda provides. Massage therapy does much more than just feel good. It also offers many health benefits 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
• Better blood flow
• Improved immune system function
• Enhanced sports performance
• Reduced depression and anxiety
• Increased levels of energy
• Lower levels of fatigue
• Reduced insomnia
• Easier labor and delivery for expecting mothers
• Reduced stretch marks
• Reduced scar tissue

Advantages like these have been found to be especially helpful for individuals who suffer with chronic conditions such as arthritis and asthma. Massage therapy has also proven advantageous for burn injury patients, people with high blood pressure, and women who suffer from premenstrual syndrome. Even preterm infants have shown benefits with massage therapy as they have better levels of weight gain.
