There have been numerous complaints about back and neck pain. There was a survey conducted by the United States National Institute of Health Statistics reporting that 15-20% of people in America have discomfort in their neck and back or other related areas. These pains can cause interruptions to daily lives. There is an easy trick to improve the pain and that is through massage therapy.

Everyday life style and even work style might be the reason for neck pains. Many people work in offices where they sit at a desk hunched over a keyboard from nine to five. Well, when you constantly are staring at computer screen and not moving around your neck and shoulders tend to get stiff and tight. This starts the pain that causes many disturbances in their daily lives. Those who work in retail or where they are standing may experience lower back pain. There are many jobs that put a lot of stress on the neck and back. There is also stress that may cause neck and back pain as well. The different stresses make shoulder and neck muscles tense up creating a constant pain that persists if left untreated.

If you suffer from short term pain or chronic pain, the benefits that massage therapy offers are endless. Many doctors recommend massage therapy as a safer and more effective alternative to medications. Here are a few reasons as to why massage therapy is better, 1) massage is chemical free, meaning there are no negative side effects; 2) the medication only hides the pain and does not eliminate the pain completely; 3) the pain persists after medication, massage is a longer lasting form of pain management.

The use of massage therapy to help solve neck and back pains is well worth it, since you do not get any side effects and solves the problem with natural healing. The Happy Head Massage located in San Diego offers a variety of massages without the spa price. The Happy Head offers Swedish/ Deep Tissue massages that really work out any tightness in the neck and back and helps to eliminate the pain.

We offer a Swedish/ Deep Tissue massage that focus on your back, neck and shoulders to really help alleviate stress and tension that may be built up from everyday lifestyle and work.

Stretching the neck is very important in keeping pain control to a minimum. When working at an office instead of staying in place for a long time, get up and walk around that way you stretch out the muscles and don't get too tense. Instead of taking medications that have scary and negative side effects try the natural way through massage therapy which will help control pain management and give you positive results after one session.
