Massage therapy is a useful tool used to relax areas of the body that are suffering from tension. Massage encourages blood flow and a variety of other benefits, which is why it is so often incorporated as a part of pain management programs. Dr. Gilliam at ChiroCare provides muscle, tendon, and joint pain relief for residents in and around Fairlawn, Bath, Copley, OH.
The Benefits of Massage
Massage improves circulation, allowing blood and oxygen to flow to an area of the body to speed up healing. This process also reduces inflammation and strengthens the immune system. Massage is also preventative for injuries. It loosens stiff joints, which helps you avoid serious injuries in the future.
