Massage Therapy for Chronic Pain

Chronic pain is a complex issue affecting millions of people, often lasting months or even years. Unlike acute pain, which serves as a warning for injury, chronic pain can persist even after the underlying injury or condition has healed. For those dealing with ongoing pain, managing daily discomfort and maintaining quality of life can be challenging. Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) play a key role in supporting those living with chronic pain, using a range of therapies designed to help reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall wellness. One such approach, called Dermoneuromodulation (DNM), is increasingly recognized for its effectiveness in managing chronic pain conditions.

Understanding Chronic Pain

Chronic pain often extends beyond physical injury and can affect emotional well-being and mental health. Conditions like fibromyalgia, arthritis, migraines, and persistent low back pain are common forms of chronic pain that many individuals experience. These conditions don’t just cause discomfort—they can limit mobility, reduce energy, and disrupt daily life. The goal of massage therapy for chronic pain is not only to manage physical pain but also to support holistic well-being, enabling patients to live more comfortably and confidently.

How Massage Therapy Helps with Chronic Pain

Massage therapy offers several benefits for individuals with chronic pain:

Reduces Muscle Tension: Chronic pain can lead to muscle guarding, which is when muscles remain tense to protect an area of the body. Massage therapy helps release this tension, allowing muscles to relax and restoring natural movement patterns.

Enhances Mental Health: Chronic pain often leads to anxiety, depression, and stress. Massage therapy promotes relaxation by stimulating the body’s parasympathetic nervous system, which can decrease stress hormones and improve mental well-being.

Encourages Body Awareness: By working with an RMT, individuals can become more attuned to their body’s ’ needs, patterns, and postural habits, which can be transformative in managing chronic conditions.

What is Dermoneuromodulation (DNM)?

One specific approach gaining attention in the world of chronic pain management is Dermoneuromodulation (DNM). Developed by Canadian therapist Diane Jacobs, DNM is a gentle, non-invasive technique that focuses on the nervous system and skin (dermis). Unlike traditional massage techniques that target deeper muscles and tissues, DNM works on the skin to interact with the nerves and receptors that play a crucial role in chronic pain perception.

DNM is based on the concept that the skin and nervous system are intricately connected. By gently mobilizing the skin, RMTs can reduce nerve sensitivity, which can alleviate pain. This technique can be highly effective for individuals with chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, and nerve-related pain, as it addresses both the sensory and neural components of pain.

Why DNM is Effective for Chronic Pain

Chronic pain is often associated with an overactive nervous system, where nerves become hypersensitive to stimuli. DNM directly targets this hypersensitivity by focusing on the skin’s nerve endings, influencing how the brain perceives pain. This unique approach can help “reset” the nervous system, leading to reduced pain levels and improved comfort.

Some key benefits of DNM for chronic pain include:

Gentle on Sensitive Areas: For individuals who experience discomfort with traditional massage techniques, DNM offers a gentle alternative that’s less likely to trigger pain.

Reduces Neural Tension: By working with the skin, RMTs can help reduce neural tension, which can have a significant impact on overall pain levels.

Increases Nervous System Modulation: DNM supports the nervous system in modulating its response to stimuli, making it a powerful tool for chronic pain management.

Conditions that Benefit from DNM and Massage Therapy

Massage therapy, including techniques like DNM, is beneficial for a variety of chronic pain conditions:

Fibromyalgia: Known for causing widespread pain and fatigue, fibromyalgia is often accompanied by sensitivity to touch. DNM’s gentle approach is ideal for managing fibromyalgia pain, as it doesn’t over-stimulate sore areas.

Migraines and Headaches: Massage therapy can address the muscle tension and stress associated with chronic headaches, while DNM can reduce nerve hypersensitivity in the head and neck regions.

Arthritis: Massage therapy relieves stiffness and increases joint mobility, while DNM can ease pain by reducing nerve sensitivity in affected areas.

Low Back Pain: Chronic low back pain often involves muscle tension and nerve sensitivity. Massage therapy and DNM together can target both muscle tightness and neural elements for a comprehensive approach to pain relief.

What to Expect in a Massage Therapy Session for Chronic Pain

At your first session, an RMT will discuss your pain history and goals for treatment, helping to determine the best approach. DNM, for example, may be used in conjunction with other techniques such as myofascial release or joint mobilization, depending on your needs. Sessions are typically designed to be relaxing and focused on areas where pain or tension are most present.

Your RMT may also provide guidance on at-home exercises and stretches to further support your progress between sessions. Building body awareness and integrating mindful movements can help individuals manage chronic pain more effectively, making massage therapy an essential part of a holistic pain management plan.

Embracing Long-Term Pain Relief with Massage Therapy

For those living with chronic pain, massage therapy offers more than just temporary relief; it supports long-term healing and comfort. Techniques like DNM can create meaningful change in pain perception, helping individuals regain control over their bodies and their lives. By integrating massage therapy with other healthcare interventions, RMTs in Kamloops, BC, are committed to helping patients manage chronic pain and achieve improved wellness.

posting some of my ocs leading up to artfight!! here is my recently made dungeon meshi OC, charlie auruchrys, who is a beastman, tallman and treasure insect, specifically one of the coin beetles!! he is in his 30's and is a trans man, hence the "female" design on the back of the elytra!!! im not sure why he's a beastman or why he goes/lives in the dungeon, im still working on the lore for him his art fight page is here!

[xxxxholic]

sometimes i'll think about that one dungeon meshi scene with shuro and the absolutely awful takes some people had about it that boiled down to "i don't care about whatever cultural context shuro had that might have influenced his behavior i hate him bc he said something mean to my soft white boy projection character"

like yes i know this was a complex scene that was taken largely out of context but have you considered that i love having no reading comprehension and not actually thinking about anything. art is meaningful and impactful and life changing until i have an opinion you don't like then it's not that deep

In the field of Manual Therapy, there are many techniques used to treat people in pain. These techniques involve pushing, pulling, and twisting skin and soft tissue. DNM uses techniques that change the state of the nervous system in the skin, spinal cord and brain to make it less painful and reactive.

Studies have demonstrated that touch has significant psychological and physiological impacts, with the nervous system regulating these effects. To effectively use Manual Therapy as a pain treatment, it's important to comprehend pain physiology through a social, biological, and psychological perspective. Research has indicated that establishing a non-threatening treatment environment for the patient is vital.

The skin is closely tied to the nervous system, which makes up around 2% of our body weight but uses 20% of our O2 and glucose at all times. Nerves do not respond well to sustained mechanical deformation, specifically compression and stretch. Dermoneuromodulating is a method that considers the nervous system of the patient to treat from "skin cell to sense of self." Techniques are usually light, and holds are slow.

DNM is a form of personalized manual care that targets nervous system signals to reduce discomfort and pain. This approach involves collaboration between therapist and patient to alleviate tenderness and improve well-being. Regardless of the damage in the affected area, DNM can effectively reduce pain.

The term DNM Stands for Dermo (skin), Neuro (nervous system) Modulation (a change from one state to another). It is a method of manual therapy/massage therapy used to change the state of the nervous system from a painful hyperactive state to a less painful and reactive one through receptors in the skin.

In Manual Therapy (MT), hundreds of techniques and methods attempt to approach treating people in pain. These maneuvers' speed, duration and force may differ, but the underlying mechanistic effects all follow the same rules. They can all agree that we push, pull and twist skin directly and soft tissue indirectly.

Lately, there has been considerable growth in research around the mechanisms of massage and other manual therapies, with a drift into the neuroscience involved in pain.

Two processes seem to be apparent when we look at the research: 

First, the effects of touch have strong psychological and physiological effects. 

The nervous system controls these effects. 

If we use Manual Therapy as a treatment for pain resolution, we should look at understanding pain physiology within a social, biological and psychological framework. 

What we know from studying the non-specific effects of physical medicine is that we should strive for a treatment environment that creates the least amount of threat to the person being treated; therefore, We should act, dress and keep the treatment space in a way that won’t put the patient on the defensive. 

We know that we touch the skin primarily in manual therapy and that the skin is intimately tied into the nervous system embryologically as both arrive from the ectoderm. 

We know that the Nervous System makes up around 2% of our body by weight but uses 20% of our O2 and Glucose at all times.

The nervous system carries impulses from the peripheral (and from within), which are processed in the spinal cord and Brain to create an output response. If the impulses are deemed dangerous enough, the output is pain. 

We know that pain is a complex process that depends on contextual, psychological and biological factors that mostly happen without our conscious perception and that pain can’t happen without a nervous system. 

The human body has 72 kilometres of nerves, intimately connected to the vascular system millimetre by millimetre.

Nerves do not respond well to sustained mechanical deformation, specifically, compression more than stretch.

Dermoneuromodulating is a method that attempts to take these facts as an underlying framework for an interactive, hands-on approach to treating the experience of pain. It considers the nervous system of the patient to treat from “skin cell to sense of self.” Techniques are usually light, and holds are slow. Limbs and trunk are positioned to affect deeper nerve structures in combination with skin stretch. This is done to potentially shorten and widen a nerve's container, thus reducing mechanical deformation of the nerve. 

DNM is a method of manual care that puts the patient and their needs first. Instead of operating a recipe treatment, the treatment is an interaction between the patient and the therapist. The therapist and patient work together to find the areas that need attention and remove the tenderness and pain felt in that area. The focus is on changing the signalling within the nervous system to decrease discomfort. Pain does not happen in the muscles and other tissue but in the nervous system itself; therefore, whether or not the area of pain is damaged, we can reduce that pain with DNM.

marcille follows the true lesbian ethos of "this shit pisses me off so much unless it's a pretty girl doing it then it's fine"

one of the funniest aspects of marcilles relationship with the touden siblings is that she KNOWS falin is like laios but shes smitten with falin & is touched to tears thinking back to how falin kept trying to eat dubious unknown foods with her and meanwhile whenever laios expresses enthusiasm in it marcilles like i hope when you die you go to hell no matter what
