You are not alone if you are dealing with high blood pressure in Kennewick WA.  In the United States, high blood pressure has reached epidemic proportions.  In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one out of every three adults is currently suffering from high blood pressure.  Sadly, the majority of these people feel that they are stuck for the rest of their life taking prescription medications to gain control.  This approach to treatment has resulted in high blood pressure costing Americans nearly 50 billion dollars each year.  Thankfully, there is another possible way to manage your blood pressure and regain control over your life, massage therapy at 24 Bones Chiropractic.


Massage Can Lower Blood Pressure in Kennewick WA

In addition to the relaxation and stress-relieving qualities of massage therapy, this therapy has also been shown to decrease heart rate and cause dilation of the body's blood vessels which has a combined effect of decreasing blood pressure.  Research continues to show that massage therapy reduces stress hormones such as cortisol, which is one of the primary culprits implemented in elevated blood pressure.  In contrast to other healthcare options that typically only decrease one aspect of blood pressure, massage therapy has been shown to have profound effects on both the diastolic and systolic portions of blood pressure.


Misconceptions About Blood Pressure

There are many misconceptions floating around the media and our community surrounding the topic of blood pressure.  In contrast to what many believe, high blood pressure is not just a disease of adulthood. In fact, the number of children suffering from high blood pressure has risen from 1% to 5% over the last 30 years.  Another misunderstanding is that high blood pressure can usually be identified by a number of accompanying symptoms.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  Unless checked regularly by a health care professional, high blood pressure typically goes unnoticed until its late stages.  At this point, many of the resultant negative side effects such as; damage to your brain, arteries, heart, and eyes have already occurred.  Finally, high blood pressure doesn't only affect men.  In recent years, there are certain risk factors that have led to an increased incidence of high blood pressure in women.

If you are suffering from high blood pressure or are trying to prevent its onset and are looking for a more natural and holistic approach, massage therapy at 24 Bones Chiropractic offers a valuable solution.  In addition, to its positive effects on blood pressure, massage therapy has much more to offer to lead to overall healthier well-being.
