Benefits of Massage Therapy

Therapeutic massage has been used for many thousands of years as a natural pain relief treatment. We use massage therapy in our Decatur office, as it works great in conjunction with the chiropractic care that Dr. Harrison provides. Massage therapy does much more than just feel great. It also offers many health benefits as well. Some are physical and others are psychological, and here are some of the proven benefits:

• Pain reduction (back, neck, shoulder, legs, arm, and headache pain)
• Enhanced range of motion and mobility
• Improved cardiovascular function
• Enhanced sports performance
• Reduced depression and anxiety
• Higher levels of energy
• Decreased levels of fatigue
• Reduced insomnia
• Easier labor and delivery for expecting mothers
• Fewer stretch marks
• Less scar tissue

We Can Help Clients Find Help From Neck Pain and Headaches with Massage Therapy

Benefits like these have been discovered to be especially helpful for individuals who suffer with chronic conditions such as arthritis and asthma. Massage 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 improved levels of weight gain.
