Can a Massage Treat Auto Injuries and Sports Injuries?
Most people think massage therapy is just a relaxing method of self-care. In fact, massage therapy can accelerate the healing of sports injuries, auto injuries, and work injuries and restore function and mobility to injured areas. At Chiro-Med Health Center, Dr. Jennifer Tinoosh and our licensed massage therapists work together to create an injury rehabilitation plan that relieves pain and helps you get back to your normal routine much faster. Here are just a few of the reasons you should consider massage therapy in Lynchburg, VA, for chronic or severe injury recovery.
Relieve Pain and Tension
Massage therapy can relieve tension and stress and reduce pain and inflammation. When you’re in pain due to a chronic injury like whiplash, your body is fighting hard to heal and reduce pain. All of this fighting can take a toll on your physical and mental health, making you feel run-down and depressed. During a massage therapy session, we will focus on treating targeted areas of your body that correspond to pain and tension. Your body will respond by releasing endorphins and healing nutrients and chemicals that reduce pain and tension.
Promote Healing and Restore Function
Dr. Tinoosh will integrate massage therapy into your overall chiropractic physical therapy program. Combining massage therapy and chiropractic care will accelerate healing, reduce swelling and inflammation, reduce the risk of scar tissue formation and calcification, and restore function and mobility. Over time, you will notice you have increased range of motion and it’s easier to get around without pain or discomfort.
Elevate Mood
It’s harder to heal from an injury if you are tired, anxious, stressed, or depressed. Massage therapy can improve your physical and mental health by elevating your mood, promoting relaxation, relieving stress, and restoring a sense of well-being. After a massage therapy session, you will feel the positive effects all day long. It will be easier to return to work or your normal routine, and you will even notice that it’s easier to fall asleep at night. When your mind and body are at peace and you can get enough rest, you will feel more energized and restored and your body will be more capable of healing.
