At Guedea Chiropractic in San Pedro, we're interested in providing a variety of treatment options, including massage therapy. Massage therapy can cure a variety of ailments, from stress-related muscle tension to spinal nerve pain. Dr. Guedea and our team have gathered some of the questions that we run into regarding massage therapy.

1. How do I know if massage therapy is the right treatment?

Massage is an ancient technique that's been practiced for centuries, providing a unique form of care for the recipients. This form of therapy works toward the release of body tension - improving energy, blood circulation, and mental awareness. Most people seek massage therapy to reduce chronic pain, but it can also be used to lower a person's heart rate or blood pressure.

2. What conditions does massage therapy address?

Massage therapy helps with the following health issues:

• arthritis
• tissue pain
• muscle soreness
• headaches and migraines
• sciatica
• nerve pain
• insomnia

3. What can I expect from a massage therapy session?

We will guide you through the process, asking you to lie down on a special chair or table for the massage to begin. The specialist may ask you to remove some of your clothing. As the therapist begins gently massaging your body, we may use special tools or products to enhance the relaxation of the session.

4. How long does a session last?

A massage therapy session can last anywhere between 20 minutes to an hour.
