Massage Therapy for Lower Back Pain
"Oh, my back still hurts," Jim groaned as he sat on the bed and bent over to pick up his shoe.
"Why don't you try a massage?" His wife asked. "My friend Carol swears massage is the only thing that can help her back pain."
Jim sighed as he tied his shoe. "I suppose I have tried everything else. The chiropractor says my back is fine, just the muscles are tight. My doctor gave me muscle relaxants, which I don't like to take, and our insurance only covered four physical therapy visits. Massage can't hurt my back any more than it already does, I guess."
