Can massage help disc injury?
Massage may help soothe or relax muscle spasms that are a reaction when the spinal nerves are pinched by the protruded spinal disc. Massage cannot heal the injured spinal disc READ MORE
Massage may help soothe or relax muscle spasms that are a reaction when the spinal nerves are pinched by the protruded spinal disc. Massage cannot heal the injured spinal disc because the disc is too deep for the therapist to reach and the spinal bones are in the way. Depending on how severely the disc that is injured is, the best non surgical treatment to relieve the pressure on the disc and promote healing is to apply gentle rhythmic spinal decompression traction therapy.
