There are so many options to choose from when you are trying to feel better from injury or a chronic pain condition. You could take the pharmaceutical route, such as anti-inflammatories, pain medications, and muscle relaxers. There are also many types of therapies and body work available, including massage therapy, chiropractic care, physical therapy, and acupuncture.
Massage therapy can be a great intervention on its own, or it can complement current treatments you are receiving, such as physical therapy, acupuncture, and chiropractic adjustments. Some post-surgical patients can also be excellent candidates for massage therapy. It is first best to talk to your physician or primary health care provider to help determine what the best treatment option (or options) is for you in your current state of health or injury. At NW Massage Therapy we would love to be your first choice for treatment!
