By Mike Pritsker


Neck and back pain if left untreated can cause disturbances to daily lives. More people are reporting complaints about neck and back pain or other related areas now more than ever. The pain that many experience can be an interruption to your life. An easy and effective way to eliminate the pain is through massage therapy.

Many articles, studies and survey's theorize that the blame is life style and work style. Many people work in an office setting where they are hunched over a keyboard for many hours at a time. With this kind of working condition you don't get the chance to move around and relax neck and shoulders. Being hunched over a keyboard for many hours stresses the neck and back by creating tension and tightness. There are many jobs that are very stressful on the back and neck. The stresses of everyday life style is another factor that causes neck and back pain. When we are emotionally stressed our muscles tend to get tight and cause a pain that is constant causing daily disturbances.

By getting massage therapy it can help short term pain or even chronic pain. Many doctors recommend massage therapy as a treatment that is very effective for a few reasons. To name a few, the reasons are: 1) you don't need to take pharmaceuticals that have side effects; 2) after taking the medications a few hours later the pain persists; 3) the medications only hide the pain and do not solve the actual problem.
