Shoulder and Neck Massage Benefits

We subconsciously stress our bodies throughout our daily routines. We can cause muscle tension and tightness in our neck and shoulders by doing the simplest things, like signing a check, clicking the mouse, driving or even talking on our mobile phones. The goal of a shoulder and neck massage is to provide tension relief. Discover the benefits of massage therapy that extend beyond relaxation.

Benefits of Shoulder and Neck Massage Therapy

Provides Pain and Tension Relief

When massaging sore areas of the body, blood flow and oxygen are increased, relieving pain and reducing inflammation. In addition, massage therapy releases endorphins, the body's natural painkiller. You will also experience an increased range of motion following a massage since lactic acid buildup that causes muscle stiffness will be eliminated.

Reduces Headaches

Since tension headaches are a symptom of muscle tension and postural alignment issues, massage therapy is one of the most effective treatments available. The correct application of massage therapy can remedy muscle imbalances and provide tension relief. Additionally, massage therapy is also effective in treating trigger points. In this way, chronic neuromuscular stimulation is eliminated, leading to headaches and other pain issues. Massage therapy relieves headaches by providing pain and muscle tension relief, improving range of motion, and reducing stress.

Improves Stress

You will benefit from massage therapy not only physically but mentally as well! When we are anxious or stressed, we tense our neck and shoulder muscles. This tension over time can cause us to be in a constant state of stress, leading to irritability. A relaxed body results in a relaxed nervous system. A massage can help you realign your body to normal levels by lowering your heart rate and calming your breathing. The benefits of massage therapy counteract the destructive effects of physical, psychological, and emotional strain we experience in our daily lives.

Patient Reviews

"I was experiencing a lot of pain in my feet following the birth of my son. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in both feet. After seeing my PCP and being prescribed anti-inflammatory medication, I looked into the benefits of Chiropractic care. I was in so much pain from the plantar fasciitis that is because difficult for me to walk. I was unable to carry my newborn and walk because I was concerned for his safety. As part of my care plan, custom orthotics were recommended. Within days of receiving my orthotics I had a reduction in my pain. Regular Chiropractic visits and my orthotics have allowed me to be able to care for my son again!"

"I worked for Wal-Mart for 20 years walking on hard floors 10 hours a day. I felt a horrible pain in my right hip/buttocks area and could not bend or walk. My sister did a little research and recommended Healthy Life Chiropractic- They do EVERYTHING! After the first treatment, the pain was gone! After being educated on my problems, they worked on my whole body and it feels 100% better. I have never been a good sleeper, but I am sleeping much better and get up in the morning ready to go! I have never felt better!"

- Michael Chambers

"My daughter came in to see Dr. Rob for possible curve in her spine. She was officially diagnosed with scoliosis after her evaluation. As parents, we were having a hard time wrapping out heads around what that meant for our beautiful 8 year old girl. Dr. Rob, Dr. Tina, and the whole staff at Healthy Life Chiropractic have been phenomenal! After 2 months of treatment- regular adjustments and exercises- we are seeing a huge improvement! Her hips are aligned now, her feet meet properly, and she is feeling better all around. We haven’t retaken her x-rays yet- not until we’ve done treatment for a whole year- but based off our experience, and results we’ve seen so far, I am confident that her curve has not gotten worse and has probably even improved!"

- Margaret Wearne

"I began my chiropractic care in October 2017 because of increased pain and decreased mobility in my left hip that had gotten increasingly worse over the previous 4-5 months. I love that I have been able benefit from whole body treatment that in turn has almost completely taken away the issues I was experiencing with my hip. I am so grateful for feeling good again and I highly recommend Healthy Life for your chiropractic care and total life wellness."

"I have been a patient at Healthy Life Chiropractic for over 3 years! After driving several hundred miles a week and spending time on the computer for work, I not only get regular adjustments, I utilize the massage therapists as well. I've recently begun using, with success, Standard Process supplements and Doterra Essential Oils. I appreciate the holistic approach to care by all of the staff at Healthy Life!"
