Massage More Effective Than Usual Care for Treating Chronic Low Back Pain

Massage therapy may be more effective in dealing with low-back pain than other more traditional medical intervention as new research suggests.

The study comprised 401 patients aged 20 to 65 years old with nonspecific chronic low-back pain and compared the effectiveness of either relaxation or structural massage versus usual care, including medication and physical therapy. Participants were asked about their abilities to perform daily activities and then randomly assigned to receive one to three treatments.

Oh My Aching Back!



You never truly appreciate your back and all it does for you -- until it starts to hurt. Then every move brings a symphony of agony, until all you want to do is make your back pain stop.

The bones, muscles, and joints that make up your back are among your body's biggest support systems. When any part of that system is weakened or injured, it becomes harder for your back to bear your weight.
Up to 80% of adults have low back pain at some point in their lives. Instead of resorting to back pain treatment after the damage has already been done, be a little proactive.
