DUNEDIN, Fla., July 1, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dr. Paul Raveling of Raveling Chiropractic Center is offering special incentives to patients who become Charter Members of the practice's newly-introduced "Rub Club." Formed to help more patients realize the rehabilitative and restorative benefits of Dunedin massage therapy, the first fifty members to enroll in the "Rub Club" will receive special pricing and a waiver of the initial fee. Members of the Club will then be entitled to receive two half-hour massages at a cost of $39.95 per month, two one-hour massages at a cost of $79.95 per month, or four one-hour massages at a cost of $149.95 per month.
"Many patients first realize the benefits of massage as part of a rehabilitation program for some type of work-related injury or auto accident injury," said the chiropractor. "But once they see how much it helps relieve their headache, neck and back pain, they want to come back again and again. That's why I decided to make it cost-effective for my patients to receive regular massages."
Incorporating massage as part of a pain management and injury recovery program is helpful in reducing inflammation and minimizing pain so Dr. Raveling can focus on restoring functioning and mobility. The doctor offers several types of massage, based on each patient's injuries and medical background. After an injury he may use deep tissue massage to relieve muscle tension or therapeutic massage to improve flexibility by rubbing and kneading muscles and tendons. Swedish Massage incorporates long flowing strokes to increase circulation and reduce joint stiffness. Trigger point massage directly addresses certain areas of the body which may be triggering pain in other body parts.
Some patients also find relief from stressful job situations or tension-related migraine headaches through the process of massage. By spending time in a massage session, the patient is able to attain a state of relaxation that helps lower stress, leading to improved sleep patterns and a general increase in overall health.
"After an accident injury, some of my patients may be concerned about having to face an invasive surgery or they might be wary about the negative side effects of prescription drugs which may only mask the pain," said Dr. Raveling. "I use spinal manipulation, physical therapy and massage as non-invasive alternatives that help patients manage pain and rehabilitate injuries in an all-natural manner that can also provide life-long benefits."
