How Massage Can Help

Therapeutic massage has been used for thousands of years as a natural pain relief solution. We use massage therapy in our Anchorage office, as it works great in conjunction with the chiropractic care that Dr. Matthisen provides. Therapeutic massage does much more than just feel great. It also offers many positive effects 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)
• Enhanced range of motion and flexibility
• Improved cardiovascular function
• Enhanced sports performance
• Decreased depression and anxiety
• Increased levels of energy
• Decreased levels of fatigue
• Improved sleep
• Easier labor and delivery for expecting mothers
• Fewer stretch marks
• Reduced scar tissue

We Can Help People Find Relief From Neck Pain and Headaches with Massage Therapy

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