Alleviate Aches and Pain After Traveling

Sitting on a plane or in a vehicle for hours on end can lead to aches and pain. Sometimes aches and pain can get in the way of your everyday life and limit what you are able to do. At Heresco Chiropractic & Associates in Corvallis, Albany, and Philomath, OR, our chiropractors can provide you with the chiropractic care you need to alleviate these kinds of aches and pain.

Spinal Adjustment

There can be a multitude of problems as well as aches and pain when any of the vertebrae in your back are out of alignment. Getting the vertebrae back into alignment is the best way to alleviate the pain and stiffness. Our chiropractor uses manual and instrument assisted manipulation to correct the alignment of the vertebrae. Many different adjustments are available depending on the condition of your spine and severity of the pain.

Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger point therapy is a type of massage therapy that applies pressure to specific points that are sore and tight to release tense knots in your muscles. Trigger point therapy is a more targeted massage that helps manage the pain and determine what may be making your muscle knots painful.

Massage Therapy

A great way to get relief for your sore soft tissues after your travels is a massage. Many different types of massage are available, such as deep tissue massage, Swedish massage, and myofascial release. A Swedish massage is a gentler massage that is designed to promote relaxation and release tension in the muscles. Deep tissue massages use many of the same hand movement as a Swedish massage, but with more pressure. Myofascial therapy uses a light touch to loosen areas of the myofascial tissues that are stiff and sore.

Stretches

Sitting in the same position for extended periods of time will have you feeling stiff and sore. Stretching is a great way to let your muscles relax and feel better. Stretching your aching muscles will boost blood flow to relieve pain in affected areas. It is important to stretch gently to avoid causing further pain to the muscle groups.
