You can benefit in a number of ways by adding massage therapy to your Chiropractic Care program. Chiropractic and Massage Therapy, used in combination, form a powerful healing approach that addresses your pain on many levels. Recovery is normally faster and more complete when you address multiple components of your pain.

Chiropractic treatment often proceeds more easily when soft tissue has been relaxed with massage. You may be less anxious and more ready to receive chiropractic adjustments after a relaxing massage. Adjustments frequently last longer when muscle tension is released that might otherwise pull your joints out of alignment again.

We offer several types of massage incorporated with aromatherapy which focus on your specific needs. Our in-house massage therapist can help you decide which of the following is right for you.

Swedish Massage - utilizes long, flowing strokes as it has a calming effect when performed slowly. Oil, cream, or lotion is applied to the skin to reduce friction and allow smooth strokes. Swedish massage has shown to be helpful in reducing pain and joint stiffness.

Deep Tissue Massage - is generally designed for more focused massage work. Working a specific joint, muscle or muscle group, one can access deeper layers of the soft tissue. Starting superficially and easing into the depth of the muscle slowly often allows more movement.

Myofacial Massage - is a type of soft tissue massage which incorporates stretching and massage of the connective tissues, or fascia. This particular method became popular when patients realized the potential for pain management and increased flexibility.
