As you carefully observe, you will find that many people around us suffer from back pain, even some young people, especially those who work in offices and physical laborers. People who are constantly troubled by back pain should pay attention to proper rest, which can release the accumulated tension and stress in various parts of your body, making your body more coordinated and reducing the chances of experiencing various acute pains. This moderate rest and relaxation is more economical than throwing a lot of money into a massage parlor, and it will have unexpected effects on you.
Massage is effective in relieving various types of pain symptoms, but excessive and frequent massage can also burden the cervical spine and worsen cervical disc herniation. The reason for this phenomenon lies in the cause of shoulder and back pain, which may also be due to misalignment of the small joints of the cervical spine, which can be identified through manual palpation or X-ray. Massage can correct misalignment of the small joints. However, once cervical disc herniation is discovered, massage should be stopped and treatment should be sought at a specialized hospital.
We cannot deny that massage itself is an effective and traditional therapeutic method, but letting untrained individuals perform massage may pose various risks, resulting in skin and soft tissue injuries, or nerve and bone injuries, and even paralysis. Due to the inappropriate techniques used by non-professionals during massage, it is easy to cause soft tissue damage and joint dislocation in the person being massaged. When using massage media such as alcohol, liniment, etc., if the pressure is not controlled properly, it can cause skin burns and bruises, and in severe cases, skin ulcers may occur. Massaging individuals with infectious diseases may also cause cross-contamination. Therefore, choosing the right massage parlor is also very important. Massage services provided in formal hospitals are standardized, and massage therapists have mostly obtained professional qualifications.
Editor's Note
Back-to-wall exercise is also very effective in relieving back pain. The specific method is as follows: stand with your back 20 centimeters away from the wall, let your whole body relax naturally, and stretch out your hands. Hit the wall with your back. When the body bounces back from the impact, hit it again, and repeat this cycle.
Start hitting from the scapula, then move to the back and waist, and finally to the lower back. Hitting the back can have the effect of massaging the back through acupoints. This kind of impact can also reflexively regulate visceral activities, improve skin nutrition, promote blood circulation, relieve Qi blockages, relax muscles, calm the mind, and promote health.
