Massage Therapy For Neck And Back Pain


By Mike Pritsker


There have been numerous complaints about back and neck pain. There was a survey conducted by the United States National Institute of Health Statistics reporting that 15-20% of people in America have discomfort in their neck and back or other related areas. These pains can cause interruptions to daily lives. There is an easy trick to improve the pain and that is through massage therapy.

There are a few different theories that suggest what the cause of the pain may be. To start, many believe that most people's work style is what causes the neck pain. Many sit in a chair, hunched over a keyboard, only moving around once in a great while. Those who are on their feet most of the day or working at counter tops have their necks bent. There are many jobs that also put strain on our back and necks. Another suggestion that may cause neck and back pain is emotional stress. When we are stressed the muscles in our neck and back get tense causing tightness and pain.

If you suffer from short term pain or chronic pain, the benefits that massage therapy offers are endless. Many doctors recommend massage therapy as a safer and more effective alternative to medications. Here are a few reasons as to why massage therapy is better, 1) massage is chemical free, meaning there are no negative side effects; 2) the medication only hides the pain and does not eliminate the pain completely; 3) the pain persists after medication, massage is a longer lasting form of pain management.

All massage therapists are trained to massage specific muscle groups that carry most of our stress and help relieve pain. Therapists are taught to feel knots and tightness and work them out. The Happy Head, located in San Diego, offers a variety of massages that helps to alleviate neck and back pain. The different full body massages help to relieve pain that may be built up in the neck and back.

The Happy Head Massage is located in three locations in San Diego. We are located in the downtown area, Hillcrest and Pacific Beach. Each location offers a variety of massages to fit anyone's needs. We offer a Swedish/ Deep Tissue massage that focus on your back, neck and shoulders to really help alleviate stress and tension that may be built up from everyday lifestyle and work.

Stretching the neck on a regular basis is important in controlling pain. Massage therapy helps stretch out the neck to create space and release the tension built up from being hunched over a keyboard at work, or from stressing. Rather than take costly medications that only hide the pain, massage therapy is a natural and effective way to eliminate the pain forever.
