Massage Can Be Effective in Treating Opioid Use Disorder As Part of The Treatment Plan

3/23/2018

0 Comments

 
Massage can be effective in treating opioid use disorder as part of the
treatment plan and can take place in any inpatient, outpatient, residential
or hospital setting.

Throughout 2016, the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA)
has been actively engaged with several organizations and agencies
regarding massage therapy for pain, and specifically as an alternative
to opioids (AMTA, 2017). AMTA has worked with the Academy of
Integrative Pain Management to foster ongoing dialog on integration of
massage therapy into approaches to pain, instead of using opioids.
In 2017 the American College of Physicians (ACP) developed a
guideline to present the evidence and provide clinical recommendations
on noninvasive treatment of low back pain.
Recommendation 1 involves massage. Given that most patients with acute
or subacute low back pain improve over time regardless of treatment,
clinicians and patients should select nonpharmacological treatment with
superficial heat (moderate-quality evidence), massage, acupuncture
or spinal manipulation (low-quality evidence). If pharmacologic
treatment is desired, clinicians and patients should select nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs or skeletal muscle relaxants (moderate-quality
evidence). (Grade: strong recommendation). SCHEDULE YOUR MONTHLY BODY MAINTENANCE MASSAGE AT WWW.INDOPAKMASSAGE.COM
Low back pain is frequently classified and treated on the basis of
symptom duration, potential cause, presence or absence of radicular
symptoms, and corresponding anatomical or radiographic abnormalities.
Acute back pain is defined as lasting less than four weeks, subacute back
pain lasts between four and 12 weeks, and chronic back pain lasts more
than 12 weeks. Radicular low back pain results in lower extremity pain,
paresthesia, and/or weakness and is a result of nerve root impingement.
Recommendation 2 includes nonpharmacological treatment with
exercise, multidisciplinary rehabilitation, acupuncture, mindfulness-
based stress reduction (moderate-quality evidence), tai chi, yoga, motor
control exercise, progressive relaxation, electromyography biofeedback,
low-level laser therapy, operant therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy,
or spinal manipulation. Recommendation 3 states that in patients with chronic low back pain
who have had an inadequate response to nonpharmacological therapy
,
clinicians and patients should consider pharmacologic treatment with
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs as first-line therapy, or tramadol
or duloxetine as second-line therapy.
The guideline concludes by stating that clinicians should only consider
opioids as an option in patients who have failed the aforementioned
treatments and only if the potential benefits outweigh the risks for
individual patients and after a discussion of known risks and realistic
benefits with patients. (Grade: weak recommendation, moderate-quality
evidence).
The East West College of Healing Arts in a 2016 article added the
following support for massage to treat symptoms of opioid use disorder:
Opioid-dependent patients who receive massage therapy may
experience the following positive outcomes:
●
Increased body awareness
: Opioid use is often rooted in chronic
pain. The opioid user attempts to avoid pain through painkiller
medications. Adept massage therapists can help patients feel what
the pain is actually like in their bodies. While this may at first be
very difficult, over time those with opioid use disorders find the
pain isn’t their whole world. They eventually discover that they can
live with their pain without requiring outside substances.
●
Effective pain treatment
: A May 2016 study published in The
Journal Pain Medicine found that massage therapy can reduce pain,
minimize anxiety and improve health-related quality of life. All
three outcomes are relevant for those with substance dependency
issues. By providing a drug-free way to relieve pain, massage can
help tremendously.
●
Manage detox symptoms
: Withdrawal symptoms can be intense,
extremely painful, stressful and uncomfortable. Massage can help
by increasing the levels of natural feel-good chemicals in the brain
and decreasing stress hormones like cortisol. For instance, a good
massage increases dopamine levels, the body’s reward chemicals.
By increasing these pleasure chemicals, regular massage can help
addicts withstand withdrawal symptoms.
Deep-tissue massage for managing symptoms during opiate recovery
A deep-tissue massage that incorporates acupressure and trigger-point
therapy has been recommended to help relieve symptoms that clients
may experience while recovering from opiates during phases of tapering
off the drug and withdrawal (Finch, 2017). These techniques create
the release of an abundance of endorphins, which are our endogenous
opioid peptides, natural painkillers, known to reduce pain and produce
a sense of euphoria. Matt Finch reports that in 2010, a meta-analysis in
The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry found that deep-tissue massage leads
to the following benefits:
●
Reduction of stress hormone levels.
●
Lowered heart rate.
●
Elevated mood and relaxation by triggering the release of oxytocin
and serotonin.
After 15 minutes of deep-tissue massage techniques, endorphins come
into play and the positive benefits may last for 48 hours.
The mind, body and spirit connection
One of the DSM-5 criteria for diagnosis of opioid use disorder is the
“continued opioid use despite knowledge of having a persistent or
recurrent physical or psychological problem that is likely to have been
caused or exacerbated by the substance.” This represents a disconnect or
avoidance of the harmful psychological and physical effects of the drug
when their only focus is on obtaining more opioids for the next “high,”
regardless of the damaging effects.
According to the East West College 2016 report, this disassociation
occurs when addicts disconnect from their bodies and emotions. During
this time, addicts are unaware of what they are feeling or experiencing.
Therapists hypothesize that this disassociation is rooted in addiction
behavior. In order to continue taking drugs, addicts must ignore their
bodily reactions. The healing process must therefore include some time
for addicts to adjust to actually experiencing life in the moment, in a
body-centered way.
Beyond the physiological benefits of massage, techniques can help
clients reconnect to their bodies, be present in the moment, and have a positive experience in the present. This may be something they had not
been able to accomplish during drug use because the painful emotional
and physical symptoms, caused by the adverse effects of opioids, made
living in the present unbearable without drugs.
While patients may be too intimidated to open up in talk therapy, massage
therapy meets them where they are. While receiving massage, patients
need not explain how they feel, nor why. They can simply relax while the
therapist explores and loosens stress points in the body (East West, 2016).
As previously discussed, massage promotes relaxation because it
changes the chemistry of the brain through the release of serotonin and
dopamine. It also provides the benefit of positive touch and a connection
to another person that may have been missing during addiction.
East West concludes:
Massage helps activate parasympathetic vagal pathways by
stimulating pressure receptors. Vagal activation is correlated with
better sleep and less anxiety. Overall, addiction patients “just feel
better” after a massage. They may leave the session saying, “Oh!
That’s what relaxation feels like,” or, “I didn’t know I was so
happy/sad.” Massage helps addicts feel and heal through touch. This
includes opioid addicts.

Effects of Massage On The Musculoskeletal System

3/23/2018

Effects of massage on the musculoskeletal system
One of the most common reasons for getting a massage is relief from
muscle tension. Massage releases built-up tension in the muscle through
increasing both the blood flow into the area and the removal of toxins
and wastes out of the area. Massage produces a number of desirable
effects on the muscles; regular massage treatments can increase muscle
firmness and elasticity, decrease inflammation, reduce fatigue and
stiffness, and relieve muscle spasms and soreness. This improved
muscle tone in turn reduces the amount of physical stress on bones
and joints. Massage can even strengthen muscles in very weak limbs
incapable of voluntary movement.
Massage can soothe joint pain caused by injury, inflammation and
everyday exertion by promoting increased blood flow to the affected
areas. Regular massage can break down scar tissue, allowing injured
muscle tissues to heal more rapidly with less scarring and thickening
of connective tissue. This in turn results in increased joint mobility and
range of motion. SCHEDULE YOUR MONTHLY BODY MAINTENANCE MASSAGE AT WWW.INDOPAKMASSAGE.COM
Effects of massage on the nervous system
Massage can:
●
Stimulate sensory receptors (either stimulating or soothing nerves
depending on the techniques used).
●
Stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting
relaxation and reducing stress.
●
Reduce pain through the release of endorphins.
Massage can either relax or invigorate the client, depending on their
needs. Swedish massage, effleurage and other slow-stroking movements
can have a sedating effect, activating the parasympathetic nervous
system and stimulating the vagus nerve to slow down the heart rate
(Noonan, 2018). Massage reduces hyperactivity of the nervous system,
lowering the level of electrochemical noise and encouraging better
organ and organ system integration.
As might be expected, faster and firmer movements and techniques
are used in sports massage as stimulation prior to a competition. While
most pre-event massage is for stretching muscles and increasing blood
flow, soothing massage may also contribute to an optimal performance
by relaxing a stressed-out competitor. Be alert to client sensitivity, as
some deep-tissue work that provides a sense of relief and peace during
or after treatment may also cause increased sensitivity or even some
degree of pain during the massage.
Because the nervous system regulates all other body systems, the effects
of massage on the nervous system can also influence the operation of
other body systems. Many of the endocrine and autonomic nervous
system’s operations that are not easily altered through conscious effort.
Massage can modify the individual’s unconscious systems, potentially
changing the way stressful events affect the sympathetic nervous system
(Noonan, 2018).

Effects of Massage on the Lymphatic, Digestive, Urinary, Endocrine and Respiratory Systems

Effects of massage on the lymphatic system
Massage has many positive effects on the lymphatic system. Stimulating
the lymphatic system through massage increases the flow of lymph,
subsequently reducing edema and increasing urinary output, relieving
the body of excess fluids. Massage relieves muscle tension, creating a
kind of compression throughout the system that assists in the proper
drainage of lymph through the channels. Massaging above the heart
with light pressure along the lymphatic routes is indicated to assist in
lymphatic drainage. Encouraging the client to use deep breathing during
this process can also facilitate movement of the lymph through the
system. GET YOUR MONTHLY BODY MAINTENANCE MASSAGE AT WWW.INDOPAKMASSAGE.COM
Effects of massage on the digestive system
Massage can have beneficial effects on the digestive system because it
promotes activity in the parasympathetic nervous system, stimulating
digestive activity and encouraging the movement of wastes through
the intestines. Massage can also help relieve pain or discomfort due to
constipation, colic and/or gas.
Effects of massage on the urinary system
Massage increases circulation and lymph drainage from the tissues,
benefiting the body by enhancing its ability to remove wastes and toxins
and resulting in increased urinary output.
Effects of massage on the endocrine system
The endocrine system is regulated by the nervous system through the
use of chemical messages that maintain an internal system of feedback
and regulation coordinating all body functions. Neuroendocrine
chemicals are central to this control system in that they carry messages
that regulate physiologic processes. A neuroendocrine chemical
that is in the synapse of a nerve is called a neurotransmitter, while a
neuroendocrine chemical in the bloodstream is called a hormone.
Our bodies produce a constantly fluctuating mix of chemicals,
responding to external or internal requirements of the moment
and adapting to maintain homeostasis. The specific chemical mix
is associated with many aspects of mood and personality as well
as characteristic ways individuals respond to stress and pain.
Neuroendocrine substances influenced by massage include the
following neuroendocrine chemicals:
Adrenaline/epinephrine and noradrenalin/norepinephrine:
Epinephrine (which is also known as adrenaline) activates or
arouses; it produces the alert response and sympathetic arousal
mechanisms associated with the “fight or flight” response in the
body. Abnormally high levels of epinephrine or norepinephrine
may cause hypervigilance or hyperactivity and disturb REM sleep,
while low levels of epinephrine and norepinephrine (also known as
noradrenalin) can leave the individual sleepy and sluggish. Massage regulates epinephrine and norepinephrine production through
stimulation and inhibition of the sympathetic and parasympathetic
nervous system, returning to normal or “recalibrating” the balance
of these chemicals. The autonomic nervous system may respond to
massage in one of two ways: Either making the person more alert
or, alternatively, calm. Once massage is initiated, it takes at least 15 minutes of sustained stimulation to trigger parasympathetic function.
While a brief massage will increase production of adrenaline and
noradrenaline, waking an individual up, a long massage will tend to
engage parasympathetic function, reducing adrenaline and noradrenalin
levels in the blood, producing an overall relaxing and calming response.
Glucocorticoids are stress hormones produced in the adrenal glands
during extended stressful periods. These hormones are a symptom of
sympathetic arousal. Cortisol and other glucocorticoids are associated
with stress-related conditions and symptoms, including lowered
immunity, poor sleep patterns and the function of neurotransmitters that
mediate the transmission of pain impulses, affecting how an individual
feels these impulses. Massage has been demonstrated to reduce levels of
cortisol and alter neurotransmitter function.
The body is capable of producing pain-inhibiting and opiate-like
substances including dopamine and endorphins or enkephalins,
chemicals that improve mood, promote feelings of satiety (fullness
or satisfaction) and mediate pain. Dopamine effects motor activity,
involving types of learned movement, the ability to focus and mood.
Low dopamine levels are characterized by poor motor control or
coordination and the inability to focus. Massage increases levels of the
neurotransmitter dopamine (Michaeli, 2016). Kecskes (2014) states that
acupuncture, like deep-tissue massage, often leads to endorphin release.
Serotonin is another neurotransmitter that affects mood and focus, and
is associated with feelings of satisfaction. It also helps regulate the sleep
and waking cycle. Low serotonin is associated with depression, eating
and pain disorders and obsessive-compulsive personality traits. Massage
appears to increase the availability of serotonin.
The overall composition of neuroendocrine chemicals changes during
massage. Dopamine, serotonin and endorphin levels rise, increasing
production of immune system cells, while cortisol levels fall. Massage
also assists in the regulation of epinephrine and norepinephrine, and
facilitates growth hormone function. Growth hormone promotes cell
division, tissue renewal and repair, and is necessary to healing functions
carried out primarily during sleep. Massage encourages sleep by
reducing the level of cortisol and increasing the availability of growth
hormone.
Oxytocin is a hormone associated with attachment or bonding functions;
it is active in pregnancy, delivery and lactation. Massage tends to
increase levels of oxytocin.
Effects of massage on the respiratory system
Lung capacity and breathing can be greatly improved through massage
of the chest, shoulders and back. Massage deepens respiration and
improves lung capacity by relaxing tightness in the respiratory muscles.
Reduced tension allows more full expansion of the chest cavity and
lungs as well as increased removal of congestion. The rate of respiration
typically slows due to reduced stimulation of the sympathetic nervous
system.

Effect of Massage on the Cardiovascular  and Circulatory Systems

3/23/2018

Effects of massage on the cardiovascular and circulatory systems
Many of the physical benefits associated with massage are a function
of its ability to increase blood flow to a given area. This action, called
hyperemia, is visible in the reddening of the skin that occurs during
massage. Increasing the blood flow through massage corrects ischemia,
a reduction in blood flow that is associated with a variety of physical
ailments and disorders. Improving or restoring blood flow increases
nutritional delivery, promoting healing and the restoration of damaged
cells and tissues in health clients. Individuals with impaired circulatory
system function are not candidates for circulatory massage.
Healthy clients can see many benefits from circulatory massage;
it normalizes blood pressure and can help maintain fitness of the
cardiovascular system (though it is not a replacement for exercise).
Massage causes vasodilation – dilation of the blood vessels and
capillaries – which is due to the powerful relaxation response induced in
the nervous system through massage. When the practitioner strokes the
tissues toward the heart, the dilated vessels can carry more blood back
through the system, allowing for improved removal of waste products
and toxins and delivery of healing oxygen.
Massage can increase the efficiency of the circulatory system
mechanically in clients who are unable to exercise aerobically. Massage
increases blood flow to body areas in two ways: Through the application
of manual pressure or by stroking the tissues toward the heart. Manual
pressure by the practitioner pushes the blood out of that area. When the
pressure is released, fresh blood rushes back into the tissues. Massage
can encourage arterial circulation (blood flow to the tissues) or venous
circulation (blood flow from the tissues back to the heart). Get your monthly body maintenance massage at ww.indopakmassage.com
