How Massage Therapy Can Complement Chiropractic Care
Massage therapy and chiropractic care are two complementary approaches that can work together synergistically to address various musculoskeletal issues and promote well-being. Combined therapies can provide a comprehensive and holistic approach to pain relief, relaxation, and improved physical function.

Chiropractic Experience
Massage treatment is simply for relaxation. However, massage treatment can provide lasting pain relief. Chiropractors are masters at performing massage therapy to help reduce and manage pain. The treatments offered by our chiropractor will be designed to relieve pain now and in the future.
How Our Treatment Works
Often, massage therapy is combined with chiropractic adjustment or spinal manipulation, as it’s often called. Our chiropractor will manually adjust your spine's alignment to ensure proper alignment. This alignment can reduce tension and provide pain relief. Spinal manipulation can reduce the risk of strain in the future.
Massage therapy is often deployed alongside spinal manipulation. While chiropractic adjustments focus on the spine, massage therapy emphasizes the soft tissues. Hands-on treatment can reduce strain and muscle tension, often providing quick but lasting pain relief.
Often, chiropractors use massage therapy to address upper and lower back pain. However, it can also treat pain in other soft tissues, such as the muscles in your legs and arms. Moist heat therapy, dry needling, and other forms of chiropractic care may also provide relief.
Holistic Care
Chiropractic care doesn’t rely on medication. Medications only cover up pain without addressing the underlying issues. The pain will return after the medication wears off or you run out. Some pain management medications are also expensive and addictive. On the other hand, chiropractic care often addresses the underlying issues causing the pain.
