A massage can make you feel good, but its benefits run a lot deeper—especially if you’re hurt. Massage therapy can be a great help if you’re dealing with joint pain in your knee, elbow, or shoulder and want effective, natural relief. And with regular visits, you can hope to avoid pain better in the long term and enjoy more flexibility for longer.
Why Try Massage Therapy for Joint Pain
Joint pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including an injury, tendinitis, or a condition like arthritis. Because the causes may vary, the first step to ensuring you’re getting the right treatment is to set up a consultation with Dr. Nathan Vanderloo. This will also be an important step if you plan to start chiropractic care.
After your consultation, you’ll work with one of the four full-time massage therapists working at Preferred Chiropractic of Midland in Midland, MI. They will take that information and address your needs, which could involve a variety of massage modalities.
Myofascial release, for example, may help relieve pain in your knee, elbow, and other joints by releasing tension in connective tissues around your muscles. This helps restore range of motion so that you can move more naturally and unencumbered by pain. Passive stretching can also help gently work your joints and strengthen them, gradually allowing you to get back to normal activity and overcome pain.
Regular massage can be a boon for joint pain relief and help you regain full range of motion in your knee, shoulder, elbow, and more. Better still, it works in wonderful lockstep with chiropractic care, and you can even supplement its effectiveness further with products like Biofreeze® pain relief analgesics.
