Hi,

That is a great question, and who doesn't love a great massage? We like it because it promotes circulation and relaxation to our stiffened muscle fibers. However, it is important to be vigilant as to when to move to the next step if the massage is not improving your issue. There are a multitude of reasons why you have muscle pain, and a multitude more reasons where the muscle isn't the problem and the muscle is hurting or spasming because it's reacting to another issue that your body needs help with such as joint issues, or connective tissue wear and tears or fascia stiffness or others. For this reason, it is important to report to an osteopathic physician who is best of both worlds as a physician with chiropractors' skill sets. Osteopathic Physicians can appropriately diagnose and treat you as a whole rather than concentrate on a specific body part.
