Naturst Massage - A Pain In The Back

I came across this article posted in the American press talking about back pain and massage. Eighty percent of us have suffered from back pain at one point or another, and anyone who has knows how tough it can be to treat. Consumer Reports just surveyed more than 14,000 people who've suffered from lower-back pain to find out which treatments are the most helpful. The survey shows that many people who visited a chiropractor were happy with the results. Almost 60 percent of those who tried chiropractic manipulation said it helped a lot. And about the same percentage of people were highly satisfied with their chiropractor.

Also rated very helpful in the survey were other hands-on therapies, such as massage as well as physical therapy. And those treatments were rated more helpful than over-the-counter or even prescription medication. If nothing is working to relieve your pain, surgery is a consideration. But how happy you are with the results will probably depend on your diagnosis. And always proceed with caution. More than 50 percent of respondents reported a problem with recovery from surgery, for example, finding it longer and more painful than they had expected. And 16 percent said their back pain didn't improve at all after surgery.

Finally, 44 percent of those surveyed found exercise helpful, making it the highest-rated self-help treatment.

"this is really no surprise to me - massage is really good in helping to heal a bad pain or to ease back pain."
