Therapeutic Massage and Palliative Cancer Therapy

In recent years the role of alternative therapies in cancer care has transformed the way many patients cope with illness and related side effects. An older paradigm suggested that cancer could only be effectively treated with traditional treatments like surgical resection, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Many patients refused this notion and sought alternative therapies outside of their treatment regimen that were not only relaxing but eased side-effects associated with traditional treatment regimens, including those caused by chemotherapy drugs.

Today, not only patients but also the medical establishment recognizes the importance of alternative therapies, and particularly the importance of massage therapy in comprehensive cancer care. Massage, like most alternative cancer therapies, is most effective when used in conjunction with traditional treatments.

Massage is unique in alternative cancer therapy because it is able to remedy feelings of isolation that many patients battling a difficult disease encounter. The experience of human contact is particularly important when facing a difficult diagnosis. Massage can provide a vital experience to cancer patients, who often succumb to feelings of being overwhelmed by the nature of their diagnosis, family implications, and other difficulties associated with cancer treatments.

Often, the most valuable treatments to patients battling a difficult diagnosis are those which can allow the patient to be as comfortable as possible. Patients battling aggressive cancers, such as mesothelioma, often forgo traditional treatments which will put their body through a great deal of stress and discomfort in favor of those such as massage, which provide peace and comfort. Patients undergoing chemotherapy often find that treatments which are able to relax their mind and body, will dramatically lessen side effects like nausea, restlessness, and fever.

As with any treatment, massage therapy may or may not benefit a particular patient’s treatment regimen. However, given the positive experience many patients have benefited from, it is certainly worth exploring. Maximizing your cancer treatment with cooperation between patient, family, and physician will allow patients to live longer, healthier, and more comfortable lives, which is the goal of all comprehensive therapies.

The Benefits of Massage Therapy

Massage therapy has been used for centuries to address a wide variety of physical ailments. We have much research that not only shows, but proves that the benefits of massage therapy are far reaching and encompass all types of conditions. Massage therapy does more than quiet the mind and relax the body. It has specific, proven, beneficial physiological and psychological benefits that are compounded by more frequent, preventative sessions as opposed to a one time session. We provide quality, therapeutic massage sessions in a professional and safe environment available to everyone at an affordable price. We have convenient hours, affordable packages and friendly, experienced, licensed massage therapists here to pay special attention to your specific needs.

Diagnostic Testing

We are now proud to offer additional diagnostic testing right here in our office. These tests are typically covered in full by many insurance companies. Don’t hesitate to ask if you are covered too!

Our diagnostic tests consist of:

1. Vascular testing - Arteries and veins in the legs, arms, and neck can be tested using non-invasive (no needles) and ultrasonic imaging technology to measure blood flow and blood pressure. No dyes or x-rays are necessary for this painless testing. Vascular testing helps to accurately document the presence, location, and severity of disease within the vascular system. Abnormal blood flow is a significant threat to many individuals and this type of testing is a useful tool in diagnosis. Studies using vascular testing can help to prevent serious problems like stroke through early detection. These specialized studies use computer analysis monitoring blood pressure in various locations, while using ultrasonic technology to gauge blood flow. Sit back and relax; the tests are completely painless, although you may feel some pressure while you are being monitored.

2. Neurological testing - Neurological testing is an important procedure of diagnosing disorders and health in the nerves, muscles, spinal cord and the brain. Proper functioning of the nervous processes may become compromised or weakened by injury, disease or other adverse conditions. Neurological testing measures the speed and intensity of the electrical signals that travel along the nerve pathways; and can detect abnormalities that can signal problems. You will receive non-invasive (no needles) testing for your comfort and convenience. A tiny electrical pulse stimulates the nerve by surface electrodes. Specialized computer monitoring analyzes the data received and records measures for later interpretation by a qualified physician. You will feel a slight tingling sensation for a millisecond, but most patients consider the tests to be painless.
