Risks of Serotonin Syndrome Reduced with Massage
According to the Psychology Today article Navigating Pain Management, “One way to avoid serotonin syndrome is by raising serotonin levels naturally through exercise, massage, food choices, or sunlight,”.
Serotonin toxicity results from medications that increase serotonin levels in the body. These medications can include pain and antidepressant medications, certain herbal supplements (like St John’s Wort), and even some over-the-counter drugs. When taken together, they can increase the risk of serotonin toxicity and patients may experience symptoms like confusion, restlessness, shivering, increased heart rate, blood pressure, sweating, dilated pupils, muscle rigidity, and even seizures. In more severe cases, it can lead to coma and even death.
A decrease in the stress hormone cortisol, a boost in serotonin production, and general mood improvement are just a few positive results of massage therapy in chronic pain patients. In addition, seeing as a large percentage of pain is emotional, and the stress hormone cortisol is reduced, pain levels in these patients were also lowered.
“We are honored to be of service to pain sufferers in offering nonmedicinal alternatives in pain relief. Taking several medications concurrently puts a person at a very high risk of developing serotonin withdrawal syndrome. Hence, we believe it is best to look to relieving pain naturally, through massage, not through habit-forming medications that also have horrendous side effects,” said Mustafawi.
