What Is Neuromuscular Therapy?
Chronic pain can feel like a constant but unwanted companion, but for many, neuromuscular therapy offers a much-needed break from discomfort and provides relief. Neuromuscular therapy is a specialized form of advanced medical massage designed to target and relieve muscle pain by addressing imbalances in the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. North Texas Institute of Neurology, Rheumatology & Headache uses this therapy to identify and address the underlying causes of pain, such as muscle strain, nerve compression, or poor posture. Whether you're experiencing discomfort from daily stress, injury, or a chronic condition, neuromuscular massage therapy can provide effective relief from ischemia (lack of blood flow to soft tissues), trigger points (irritated areas in muscles), nerve compression, postural distortion, and biomechanical dysfunction. Neuromuscular massage targets these causes to help restore the body to balance and improve function. Schedule an appointment at our Frisco, TX practice to address the root causes of your discomfort.
How Does Neuromuscular Therapy Work?
Neuromuscular therapy uses various techniques to promote healing and relieve pain. Our team's holistic approach blends medical science with therapeutic touch. Neuromuscular massage therapy applies specific pressure to trigger points in the muscles that are causing pain. The consistent pressure helps release tension, increase blood flow, and improve flexibility in the muscles. A powerful complement to neuromuscular massage therapy, cold laser therapy uses low levels of laser light to stimulate healing in tissues, reduce inflammation, increase blood flow, and speed up cellular repair. In some cases, essential oils are applied during therapy to enhance relaxation and pain-relieving effects of the treatment. Lavender, eucalyptus, and peppermint are known for their calming and anti-inflammatory properties. When combined with neuromuscular massage, these oils provide additional comfort and help soothe the nervous system.
What Are the Benefits of Neuromuscular Therapy?
The benefits of neuromuscular massage therapy and related treatments can make a profound difference in your quality of life. Patients who regularly receive neuromuscular therapy often report lasting results and the following benefits:
- Pain relief from chronic muscle tension and tightness
- Improved flexibility and range of motion in affected areas
- Increased circulation, helping the body heal naturally
- Enhanced relaxation and reduced stress
- Corrected posture, leading to fewer future injuries
