Massage therapy is a gentle, safe, non-invasive, and EFFECTIVE way to facilitate healing for low back pain!
According to a recent article/news coverage on ABC Norman Marcus, a doctor who says that the source of many people’s back pain may not lie in their spines but in their muscles!!
Marcus, who helped establish the first pain center in New York City at Montefiore Hospital and two others, says in many cases spinal treatment is missing the real problem — the muscles of the back.
Marcus says he first detects problem areas using an electronic device that stimulates one muscle at a time, allowing him to locate trouble spots.
Once he locates the troubled muscle, he pierces it with a needle.
“That muscle can restore its normal length and normal function,” he said. “This is a treatment that does not use steroids or cortisone. The treatment is actually the needle breaking up the ‘knots’ in the muscle.”
Marcus says the treatment is followed by a series of exercises designed to rehabilitate the treated muscles.
