How Massage Can Help

Massage has been used for thousands of years as a natural pain relief approach. We use massage therapy in our Harleysville, PA office, as it works great in conjunction with the chiropractic care that Dr. Szilagyi provides. Therapeutic massage does much more than just feel good. It also offers many health benefits as well. Some are physical and others are psychological, and here are medically documented benefits:

• Pain reduction (back, neck, shoulder, legs, arm, and headache pain)
• Improved range of motion and flexibility
• Better circulation
• Improved immune system function
• Enhanced sports performance
• Reduced depression or anxiety
• Increased levels of energy
• Decreased levels of fatigue
• Improved sleep
• Easier labor and delivery for expecting mothers
• Fewer stretch marks
• Reduced scar tissue

Benefits like these have been seen to be particularly helpful for individuals who suffer with chronic conditions such as arthritis and asthma. Therapeutic massage has also proven advantageous for burn injury patients, people with higher than healthy blood pressure, and women who suffer from premenstrual syndrome. Even preterm infants have shown benefits with massage therapy as they have improved levels of weight gain.
