Massage Therapy

Massage therapy, like chiropractic care, is based on the fundamental idea that the body is fully capable of regulating and healing itself. Unlike chiropractic, which focuses primarily on the joints and spine, massage therapy focuses on the muscles. If your muscles become shortened, imbalanced, or tightened, it can cause other muscles on the other side of the body to become strained. This can lead to pain, weakened circulation, and several other issues. Massage therapy stretches and softens the muscle groups of the body to correct unnecessary stress that has been put on them.

When combined with chiropractic care, massage therapy can address the sources of stress and pain within your body so you can achieve a happier, healthier, and more comfortable life. Additionally, when massage therapy is used in conjunction with chiropractic care, patients tend to enjoy a more complete and faster recovery from injury and pain. Another important reason why chiropractic treatment and massage therapy work so well together is because massage therapy is relaxing. When the body is in a relaxed state during chiropractic adjustments, it tends to receive them more easily. That means the spine tends to remain in proper alignment for a longer period of time as muscle tension has previously been released and the joints are less likely to pull themselves out of alignment.

Our licensed massage therapists are experienced in several different kinds of massage techniques. Each technique involves systematically working with muscles and other soft tissues of the body. Benefits of massage include:

  • Improve posture and re-balance the body and mind.

  • Reduce the development of muscular patterning.

  • Relieve pain in joints and muscles.

  • Relieves pain and tightness associated with TMJ by using facial cupping.

  • Ease gas, constipation, and heartburn.

  • Eliminate excess fluid retention.

  • Promote general relaxation.

  • Immune System Boost.

  • It just feels good!
