Sometimes you can’t find any explanation for the abrupt onset of debilitating back pain that ruins your day and causes you to cancel all your plans. Instead of enjoying your weekend, you’ll now be forced to watch reruns on television while lying on a heating pad and eating pain relievers. Hopefully, the agony will soon fade to a bearable state, so you can hobble to your driveway pitifully, and try to get on with your life despite lingering pain that never really seems to go away.

Why Does My Back Hate Me?
Back pain has many causes ranging from mild to serious. Work-related injuries, simple muscle strain, heavy lifting, sedentary occupations, sports injuries, arthritis, spinal problems, nerve entrapment, fibromyalgia, excess weight and even genetic factors can be to blame. It’s more common as we get older, but people of any age can become victims. Fortunately, there’s a great tool available for pain relief and increased mobility, and it doesn’t involve taking potentially addictive drugs or having risky surgery. It’s called massage therapy.
It’s Proven: Massage Alleviates Chronic Low Back Pain
Massage therapists have known for ages that their skill and experience can relieve back pain, and now medical science is proving it to be fact. A 2014 study published in Scientific World Journal demonstrated that massage therapy could produce significant results quickly and reduce the need for anti-inflammatory drugs in the treatment of lower back pain in people with degenerative spinal conditions. When back pain is related to muscle spasm or trigger points, Swedish or deep tissue massage releases muscle tension and breaks up painful adhesions. It also increases circulation, improves oxygenation of tissues and removes metabolic wastes that contribute to pain.
