Millions of individuals are all too familiar with pain. There can be countless trips to the doctor or chiropractor, pain medications and the difficulty of making it through the day while enduring pain.
Massage therapy can relieve the pain of arthritis, muscle strain, tendonitis, and other acute and chronic pain conditions.
A recent survey by the American Hospital Association shows that nearly 82 percent of hospitals that offer some form of complementary or alternative care use massage therapy, with 70 percent using massage for pain management and pain relief.
More people than ever are seeking massage to manage and relieve pain. A recent AMTA consumer survey shows that nearly half, 47 percent, of those polled have had a massage specifically for pain relief.
Massage therapy can:
• Be more effective for chronic back pain than standard therapies.
• Promote relaxation and alleviate the perception of pain.
• Reduce headaches better than cold pack treatments.
• Stimulate the brain to produce endorphins.
• Improve confidence by encouraging individuals to effectively cope with pain.
Consumers have long suspected that massage helps promote a healthy and balanced lifestyle. Consumers aren’t the only people recognizing the benefits of massage. Physicians and other health care providers are increasingly recommending massage therapy to their patients as a supplement to conventional health care.

All of the above mentioned therapies (in addition to nutrition and exercise) were instrumental in helping me turn around my diagnoses of severe rheumatoid arthritis then I became a massage therapist!
Best regards from Much Kneaded Massage NYC
I recently got my first massage and my second one
They were great nothing like that feeling afterwards, so relaxing. It seems to me a great way to make a living for the person giving the massages also.

Health Care : What Are Lower Back Causes?
When people hear about lower back pain causes, most likely they will think
of lifting accidents or sitting all day long at a desk. While these things
are majority of back pain causes, there are few other, less known causes.
One of those is kidney infection. You should be informed that it is very
possible source of back pain, especially if person didn’t have any back
injuries recently. Usually kidney infections are accompanied by a fever. If
you got kidney infection, it is very important to get medical treatment as
soon as possible, because if left untreated it can result in permanent
kidney damage.
Another source of lower back pain might be improperly aligned spine. It is
very crucial to have properly aligned spine, otherwise your whole body will
suffer. Misaligned spine can result in reduced blood flow and pinched
nerves, and that is last thing you want to have. However misaligned spine is
easy to fix, so do not panic if you suspect that you have one.

Without a doubt Massage is a great means to treat and relieve Pain. I am a Chiropractor and i find that massage helps with most chronic patients, who are tighter then a drum. Whit out the muscle being relaxed i can not get to the joint space to open it up and take the pressure off the nerve, which controls the muscle.
