Back Pain Treatment with Massage Therapy

Debilitating back pain can significantly decrease the quality of your life. If you are experiencing back pain in Ontario, consider massage therapy at United Chiropractic Health Center. We have years of experience relieving the back pain of our patients through chiropractic massage techniques.

How Does Massage Therapy Work?

Massage triggers the nervous system’s relaxation process, producing both physical and emotional benefits. Massage therapy will also slow your heart rate, decrease stress hormone production, and reduce your blood pressure. Other benefits that you get from massage therapy include:

• Increased range of motion
• Improved blood and lymph circulation
• Reduced swelling
• Reduced nerve compression
• Muscle relaxation

Types of Massage Therapy for Back Pain

Deep Tissue Massage

This type of massage targets deep muscles and connective tissues. It utilizes friction, more direct pressure, and slower strokes. Practitioners apply it to alleviate tight muscles, repetitive strain, and postural problems.

Swedish Massage

Swedish massage applies smooth and long strokes and kneading on your outer muscles. Our chiropractor recommends this technique to most patients coming in for their first massage.

Neuromuscular Therapy

When performing this therapy, our specialist applies alternating pressure levels to identify your points of pain. Pressure is concentrated on the identified areas.

Shiatsu

Our therapist applies localized finger pressure on acupuncture points. They may also utilize neuromuscular therapy techniques to enhance its effectiveness.
