Yes, remedial massage can help relieve pressure on a herniated disc and improve nerve function. In addition, massage helps break down scar tissue and increase blood flow to the area, promoting healing. It can also help relieve muscle tension and pain, which can aggravate a herniated disc.
If you're experiencing pain because of a herniated disc, it's best to consult a health professional before starting any massage therapy. Your doctor or physical therapist can recommend the best massage for you. You can also consult our licensed massage therapist for an evaluation to see if massage would benefit your herniated disc issue.
