Welcome to Portland Massage & Chiropractic, where pain free living is a way of life. Today I would like to talk about back pain and spinal injuries. Back pain and injuries to the spine can occur in many different ways and for many different reasons. Back pain is very difficult to handle and it can greatly limit your mobility. Medications can be harsh and have unwanted side affects. That is why it is important to treat the underlying issue rather than treating symptoms with medication. It has been our experience that deep tissue massage and chiropractic adjustments can alleviate much or all of the back pain you are struggling with. On our initial consult, we will address where the pain is coming from and focus on relieving as much of that pain as possible. After that, we will discuss further treatments if needed and schedule them at your convenience. We have found that with chiropractic treatments and massage, our clients enjoy pain free living.

Standing on cement floors, lifting heavy boxes, or sitting at a desk for hours, does any of this sound like your typical day at work?. At the end of the day you get home and find that your back is killing you, and your feeling some pain in your neck and shoulders. Maybe you were rear-ended in a traffic accident, or crashed hard skiing or riding your ATV. Whatever the reason for your pain and discomfort, your body is trying to tell you something, listen! Therapeutic massage has becoming increasingly popular among people of all ages. This growth can be attributed partly to the growing population of baby-boomers and partly to the increased awareness of the harmful effects of stress on the body and the physiological benefits of therapeutic touch.

The idea behind massage therapy is to reduce the stress and damage that the muscles endure throughout the day. When muscles become stressed, fatigued or injured, they can block oxygen and nutrients from reaching the rest of the body and the brain. This blockage can lead to inflammation, usually in the form knots. This can cause a build up of toxins in the muscle tissue. This is when a massage can really help the muscles release the toxins and getting the blood and oxygen circulating properly again and help bring some relief. It is always important to drink plenty of water after a massage treatment, this will help the body to purge out any of the toxins released during the massage treatment.

Today massage therapy is well accepted as a method of reducing stress, relieving pain and promoting relaxation. A large number of corporations, small businesses and municipalities have found the on-site massage service to be a low cost benefit with a high pay off. Studies have found that making massage available to employees reduces the incidents of headaches, back stain and fatigue. Productivity increased and sick leave decreased when employees received monthly scheduled massages.

With all the stress today’s fast paced life throws at us, it can leave many of us run down and worn out. We either don’t get enough time, or just plain forget to take care of ourselves between work, home, and family. It is important to understand and recognize the signs of stress and figure out ways that work for you deal with it. Massage therapy is not only a good way to sooth our tired bodies, but it is also a good way to relax the mind as well. Stress can manifest itself in a variety of ways like tension and knots in the muscles of the neck and shoulders. A good therapist will use a range of techniques to loosen up those tense muscles helping relieve the body of pain and thereby easing the stress on the mind. Most patients report leaving their appointments feeling much calmer and in a better mood than when they arrived.

There is also such a thing as good stress. This type of stress helps us adapt to change, learn new things, and engage in new ways of thinking. These are all good things for us, it is the bad stress we need to learn to deal with. Examine your life, figure out where your bad stress comes from and find ways to change or deal with it.. Internal factors like negative thoughts and worries all come from within, you are the master of your own ship so why not try meditation along with massage therapy. Environmental factors are the things around you that can have an adverse effect on your stress levels, things like a disagreement with a co-worker, your living conditions or fighting with a loved one. Maybe your just overworked and run down, when we are undernourished or unhealthy it is easy to become overtired and this can cause all the other factors to really build up.

The effects of massage therapy for Stress Management are many because the treatment involves more than just rubbing the muscles. Physical touch tends to relax people and the rhythmic motion of a massage encourages the body and mind to calm and let go of the anxiety and stress that has built up. This is part of the reason a massage session usually lasts an hour or more, that seems to be the amount of time needed to truly relieve stress and to give you the break from problems needed to refresh the body and mind.

Viruses happen and Portland Massage can help you recover. They are hard to avoid but with proper care and Portland Massage you can. Some people have a genetic disposition for certain viruses. People have temporary or permanent immune system compromise, which allows the virus to cause more damage. They also grow very rapidly and therefore mutate very rapidly. A virus is considered a parasite, because it lives off us, uses our resources to reproduce, and does us harm while doing that.
