Massage as a Back Pain Management Option

7/8/2019

Back Pain Management in Massage
​When Jean Anderson fell off the stairs three years ago, she had no idea how this would affect her life. The back pain she suffered as a result of the fall had made it impossible for her to continue working or even take care of her family. When she visited her therapist at the beginning of the year, he suggested she look for a professional massage therapist to find out if this would ease the pain. The pain medications were no longer working and life was getting more difficult.
With only 2 weeks of massage therapy, Jean is no longer using pain medications and she is finally able to spend time with her family. If this progresses, she will soon be able to go back to work and continue with her life, just like she did before the accident happened.
Massage therapy is one of the pill-free methods of relieving chronic or minor pains on your back. It can provide the healing and relief from that lower back pain you’ve been suffering from for years. To achieve this, however, you need to get a massage therapist that knows the right muscles to target during the massage and the best techniques to use.
How Often Should I Get a Massage for Back Pain?
If your back pain is very new and has only affected a single area on your back, it is possible that two or three massage sessions will help to ease the pain. However, if you have been suffering from back pain for years or has affected several parts of your back, you may have to wait for about 4 weeks to feel some relief.
In the event that you do not feel an improvement after this duration, it would be prudent to visit your doctor for further checkup. It is possible that there could be other underlying health issues such as arthritis that needs to be addressed to give you the relief you are looking for.
At the beginning of your back pain massage therapy, the massage therapist may recommend more sessions maybe twice every week. However, as you continue getting better, the massage therapist will lessen the massage sessions until you are completely free from pain.
How Will I Choose the Right Massage Therapist for My Back Pain Management?
Choosing a massage therapist for your back pain management is important if you want to get fast relief. You need a therapist who does not only have proper training on massage but vast experience in back pain massage therapy as well. You can ask for recommendations from your doctor or from people that have suffered from back pain and found relief in massage therapy.
The best way to find out if a massage therapist is good enough is by checking what his past clients say regarding his treatment. You can ask your friends, family, or people that have suffered from a problem similar to yours to recommend a good massage therapist.
A good massage therapist will not just use one approach in the treatment. He will customize the massage sessions based on your needs and keep changing the techniques until he gets what works for you.
When you strain your muscle, there is a tear that forms in your muscles and when it heals, the scar tissue may not conform to your muscles. This may lead to the malfunctioning of your muscles leading to intense pain every time you try to move the back muscles. Massage therapy will help in re-aligning the scarred tissues and make them strong enough to function just like before.
How Long Do the Effects of Massage Therapy Last?
One of the greatest fears that people have in regards to massage for back pain relief is that they will have to do this for the rest of their lives. They are afraid that as soon as they stop going for massage therapy, they will lose the relief they had achieved as a result of the massage.
When you go for a back pain management massage, the massage therapist will work on relieving the tension in your muscles that is causing the pain. As a result of this process, lactic acid will be released and this may lead to discomfort. To get relief from this discomfort, a professional massage therapist will advise you to take a lot of water to flush out the toxins from your muscles.
He will also recommend that you keep stretching your back muscles so that you can retain their flexibility. As you continue to get relief, the massage therapist may also advise you to engage in minimal strengthening exercises that will not only make you flexible but prevent future injuries.
You need to remain active after the massage if you want to keep enjoying the benefits from your massage therapy. Since your back is still recovering, it is important to ensure that you don’t overdo the stretching or the exercises as this may worsen your condition. The massage therapist will advise you on the best exercises that will not only be beneficial but those that will hasten your healing process.
Is Back Pain Management Expensive?
This is another major concern for most of the people seeking massage therapy as a back pain treatment option. They are afraid that they will not be able to meet the high cost of massage but this does not have to be the case. There are some health insurance plans that cover massage that is recommended by a medical professional. To enjoy this benefit, you can ask your doctor to include massage therapy as a part of your treatment and in doing this, your massage costs will be catered for by the insurance company.
You don’t have to live in pain as a result of a back injury or keep taking pain medications that cause more harm than good. Massage therapy is a pill-free method of getting relief from back pain whether chronic or minor whose benefits will last for a long time. All you need is to ensure that you get the trained and experienced massage therapist who is really good at what he does.
