Massage Therapy for Low Back Pain Relief in Little Falls, NJ

Hi, I’m Dr. Joann Giesenhaus, with Core Chiropractic. I want to share with you the benefits of massage therapy for low back pain.

Let’s start with a look at the spine. Right here, we have the head, neck, mid back, low back, and this area here includes the hips extending down into the legs.

When we focus on the low back and hip region, we’re looking at a major part of the trunk of the body. Within that area are large bands of muscles, and they can become tight, often more on one side than the other. Sometimes, you may feel discomfort traveling down into just one side of the body.

Massage therapy works by loosening and stretching these tight muscles. In doing so, it helps take pressure off the nerves that run through those muscles and into the surrounding joint spaces.

It’s very therapeutic, and it promotes improvements in range of motion, flexibility, and even strength.

At Core Chiropractic, we offer a variety of massage techniques, including:

• Resisted massage
• Deep tissue massage
• Swedish massage
• Therapeutic massage
• Aromatherapy massage
