Neuromuscular Trigger Point Massage in Manhattan Beach: Breakthrough Study Shows Neuromuscular Massage Relieves Low Back Pain
A “systematic review of systematic reviews” issued by the US National Library Medicine examined dozens of examinations of hundreds of studies on the question of whether or not massage therapy was an effective treatment of low back pain. Studies have been plagued by problems such as a lack of the clinical definition of “massage therapy” and a lack of direct comparative studies showing the relative success of massage therapy vs. its competition (acupuncture, mobilization, pharmaceuticals), but this meta-study came up with a pretty cear result: “Massage may be an effective treatment option…when compared to placebo.” “Given that there were no reported side effects or adverse events as a result of massage therapy, it may be considered as a viable treatment option.” If you want to get lasting relief from back pain, neck pain, sciatica, and more, then call and book neuromuscular massage today!
