They’re Quite The Pair: Massage And Chiropractic Care

If you’ve joined us at Wills Chiropractic. you already know there are many benefits of chiropractic care. You’re also probably aware of the relaxing benefits that come with massage therapy. But did you know the two go hand in hand? Regular chiropractic adjustments combined with massage therapy can improve your overall wellness.

HOW DO MASSAGE THERAPY AND CHIROPRACTIC WORK?  

Chiropractic care reduces misalignments (aka joint restrictions) in the joints in the spine and throughout the body. These adjustments reduce pain and inflammation while improving the function of the affected joints along with the nervous system. Chiropractic adjustments use minimal force and gentle pressure and are highly controlled. Some of our patients report feeling better after just one adjustment.  

Massage therapy focuses on the muscles and tendons of the body. Our skilled massage therapists use techniques to manipulate the muscles and tendons impacted by pain and/or inflammation.  

HOW DO MASSAGE THERAPY AND CHIROPRACTIC WORK TOGETHER?  

The muscles in the body function through timing and coordinated movements resulting from the messages they receive from the nervous system through the spinal cord. By reducing restriction and inflammation in both the nervous system and the muscles, your body is better able to communicate and function. Regular massage therapy and chiropractic adjustments make quite the pair for your health.  

After a massage, your muscles are relaxed and loosened, which makes chiropractic adjustments more effective and pain relief longer lasting. Additionally, soft tissues treated with massage therapy heal faster when the joints are in proper alignment. Regular treatment with both chiropractic and massage can keep pain from returning.  

Chiropractic care and massage therapy can also help:  

• Improve immune system function
• Increase blood flow
• Increase flexibility
• Improve overall range of motion
