A White Plains & Stamford Chiropractor comments:

At Dr. Sirota's Stamford Chiropractic and White Plains Chiropractic Centers, we take pride in being your Stamford and White Plains auto injury and chiropractic specialists. We strive to provide our patients with the most effective techniques so you can feel better naturally, without needing to resort to surgery or unnecessary pain medication. You may already know that receiving a massage is a non-surgical and all-natural way to soothe your racing mind and relax your stiff muscles, but you may not know that massage therapy actually has many proven mental and physical benefits that last beyond just feeling good during the massage. Even though the year 2009 marked one of the worst recessions in United States history, nearly 9% of U.S. adults received at least one massage during the course of the year. 

Why are people turning to massage therapy in droves? It’s simple, the benefits of regular massage therapy include:

• Reduced lower back pain and other types of pain
• Decreased need for pain medications
• Enhanced immunity 
• Reduced car accident injury pain
• Reduced symptoms of pain from whiplash and other soft tissue injuries
• Decreased feelings of depression or anxiety
• Improved blood circulation
• Reduced muscle spasms and cramping
• May help reduce migraine and headache pain
• May help reduce high blood pressure
• Improved condition of skin including scars and stretch marks

While the long term benefits of getting regular massage therapy are amazing, many patients are surprised to experience benefits after receiving only a single massage session. For example, a single massage session can reduce feelings of depression/anxiety and release all-natural pain killers called endorphins. Massage helps loosen up stiff muscles which may be causing you pain. Studies have also suggested that immune function indicators may be improved after receiving a single massage session.
