In a study published in the February 2014 edition of Scientific
World Journal, researchers investigated whether chronic low-back pain
therapy with massage therapy alone was as effective as combining it with
non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs. The study was conducted on 59 individuals
divided into two groups, all of whom suffered from low-back pain and were
diagnosed with degenerative changes of the spine, other intervertebral disc
diseases or spine pain.
In both patient groups, the pain measured was significantly
reduced and the level of disability showed significant improvement compared to
the baseline. Researchers concluded massage had a positive effect on
patients with chronic low-back pain and propose that the use of massage
causes fast therapeutic results and that, in practice, it could help to reduce
the use of anti-inflammatory drugs in the treatment of chronic low-back pain.
