A Worthy Subject-3

Is it worth putting up with that pesky pain that just won't go away?

• The results form the study on low-back pain, published in the 2003 Annals of Internal Medicine, showed that massage therapy reduced the patient's need for pain medications by 36 per cent, compared to other therapies, including acupuncture. This is great news for the more than 100 million Americans who experience low-back pain.
• Approximately 45 million Americans experience chronic headaches, and of those, more than 60 percent suffer from migraines. A 2006 study in The Annals of Behavioral Medicine showed that those who received massage therapy had fewer migraines for more than three week following treatment.
• There is a growing body of research that shows massage therapy can alleviate the pain of many conditions, including cancer, osteoarthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome.1
