How Massage Therapy Can Benefit You

Therapeutic massage has been used for millennia as a natural pain relief treatment. We use massage therapy in our Napa office, as it works great in conjunction with the chiropractic care that Dr. Bettencourt provides. Therapeutic massage does much more than just feel amazing. 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)
• Enhanced range of motion and mobility
• Better circulation
• Enhanced sports performance
• Decreased depression or anxiety
• Higher levels of energy
• Lower levels of fatigue
• Easier time getting and staying asleep
• Easier labor and delivery for expecting mothers
• Reduced stretch marks
• Less scar tissue

We Can Help Patients Find Help From Neck Problems and Headaches with Massage Therapy

Benefits such as these have been discovered to be particularly helpful for individuals who suffer with chronic conditions such as arthritis and asthma. 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.
