Massage Therapy and Chiropractic

Maintain Everyday Good Health

Both massage and chiropractic offer preventive care to support your ongoing good health and well-being. A visit to your chiropractor can reestablish normal alignment and mobility before secondary soft tissue problems develop.

Regular massage can release chronically contracted muscles and fascia, improving the balance among muscle groups and promoting circulation. Your body will be more resilient in the face of daily stresses, less prone to injury and subluxation.  Finally, massage triggers the body’s relaxation response, interrupting a cycle of stress and muscle tension that can build in response to life’s challenges. 

Massage supports Chiropractic

You can benefit in a number of ways by adding massage therapy to your chiropractic care program.  Recovery is normally faster and more complete when you address multiple components of your pain.  Chiropractic treatment often proceeds more easily, with less discomfort, when soft tissue has been relaxed with massage.  You may be less anxious and more ready to receive chiropractic adjustment after a relaxing massage.  Adjustments frequently last longer when muscle tension is released that might otherwise pull your joints out of alignment again.

Chiropractic supports Massage

If you are seeking massage therapy for pain but find your pain persists, recurs or even worsens after your massage, chiropractic could help in these ways: If your pain involves a subluxation, chiropractic adjustment may give immediate relief as your joints are restored to alignment and mobility.   The joint movement in chiropractic adjustments can sometimes relax deep layers of soft tissue that can be difficult to reach with massage.
