Medicine list - The Muscle Therapist

Medicines offer numerous benefits to our health, but they can also come with some unwanted side effects. Although these side effects are typically less severe than the conditions they treat, it’s crucial to consider how medications can influence other aspects of our lives beyond interactions with alcohol and other drugs. Sometimes, we may seek treatment for a symptom without realizing it is connected to our medication, making it essential to consult with your prescribing doctor in such instances.

In a nutshell, a medication might cause headaches as a side effect. In cases like this, massage therapy is unlikely to provide relief for the symptom, much like how it would be ineffective in alleviating the symptoms of a hangover. However, this doesn’t mean that massage therapy should be entirely dismissed. It is still beneficial for various other reasons, including thorough health assessments and history taking, which can provide valuable insights into your overall well-being.

To aid therapists in considering the potential effects of medications on your treatment, I have compiled a reference table containing over 200 of the most common medications and their effects, focusing on some more relevant to physical therapies. While this resource may prove helpful, please note that it may contain some inaccuracies. Therefore, it is always advisable to review the original literature from the manufacturer to ensure the most accurate and up-to-date information.

By seeking massage therapy for other purposes, you can take advantage of its numerous physical benefits while avoiding any potential conflicts with your current medications. Don’t hesitate to explore this therapeutic option to enhance your well-being and improve your overall health.
