Massage Therapy Provides Effective Relief for Chronic Pain

According to the American Academy of Pain Medicine, 100 million Americans experience the effects, of chronic pain, a condition where sufferers are forced to live with almost every day. From interminable neck and back pains to headaches, to joint inflammation, to fibromyalgia, for individuals experiencing these conditions, the pain can be incapacitating – and costly – costing billions (with a “B”!) of dollars in insurance costs, lost wages and related expenses.

The National Health Institute describes chronic pain as: any pain lasting more than 12 weeks. Whereas acute pain is a normal sensation that alerts us to possible injury, chronic pain is very different. Chronic pain persists—often for months or even longer. Chronic pain may arise from an initial injury, such as a back sprain, or there may be an ongoing cause, such as illness. However, there may also be no clear cause. Other health problems, such as fatigue, sleep disturbance, decreased appetite, and mood changes, often accompany chronic pain. Chronic pain may limit a person’s movements, which can reduce flexibility, strength, and stamina. This difficulty in carrying out important and enjoyable activities can lead to disability and despair.

Since chronic pain may occur in a variety of locations in the body and for many different reasons, patients and their health professionals need to work together to identify the causes and symptoms of that pain and how it can be relieved.

This is where our expertly trained massage therapists at diVINE Spa come in. We specialize in various massage treatments and modalities that can bring you the comfort and relief your body needs.

In the event that you experience the ill effects of chronic pain, you might need to consider massage therapy as a necessary pain mitigation procedure. Indeed, more and more research demonstrates that massage therapy is an effective and viable approach to reduce the daily stress caused by chronic pain.

At diVINE Spa, we see how debilitating – and perpetually agonizing chronic pain can be. That is the reason our friendly massage therapists offer substantially more than a massage. They are your partners, working intimately with you to identify and treat regions affected by chronic pain, concentrating on pain management, and your general well being and health.

In addition to reducing chronic pain, standard massage therapy is an effective approach to activate your natural endorphins. Increasing your pain resistance places you in a superior state of mind by discharging oxytocin and serotonin all through your body, this diminishes stress and depression, and results in improved mood and better sleep.

Living with chronic pain is difficult and in many cases, it’s fighting a battle the vast majority of people wouldn’t understand. At diVINE spa, our highly trained massage therapists understand the hardship you are going through and are here to help you at all times. In the event that you are experiencing pain and haven’t attempted massage therapy, reach out to diVINE Spa in Naples, Florida today and discover how we can help you.
