How Massage Therapy Will Complement Your Chiropractic Care

Some patients think of massages as nothing more than a way to relax. Fortunately, massage therapy can be a holistic form of pain treatment and pairs well with other forms of chiropractic care by seeking to release muscle tension, promote circulation, and decrease inflammation. If you live in or near Corvallis, OR, Albany, OR, or Philomath, OR, contact our team Heresco Chiropractic & Associates to schedule treatment or get further information.

Why A Chiropractor May Use Massages

Chiropractors focus on using hands-on treatment to adjust your spine or joints. A chiropractor on our team may also use specialized tables to decompress the spine and various other tools to work with other muscles and tissues.

Sometimes, these treatments are combined with massage therapy. Massages can be relaxing. They can help reduce stress, which may help spur healing and recovery. Additionally, by stimulating blood flow, massages can help encourage your body’s natural healing and pain relief mechanisms, potentially reliving your pain and making easier for you to heal.

Because massage therapy can help relieve muscle tension, it can help prepare to body to better respond to a chiropractic adjustment by making it easier for the spine to be adjusted back into its proper position. If you would like to learn more about how massage may help make your chiropractic treatment more effective, give us a call and we will be happy to answer your questions.

Massaging with the Intent to Heal

There is another aspect of massage therapy to consider. Massages provided by someone not trained in massage therapy may not be able to get you the same results that professional would be able to. This is because not all massages are designed to relieve pain or to help you heal. Additionally, the massage might not be tailored to the condition you might be trying to get relief from.

Getting a massage from a massage therapist can help you avoid that problem and better help you get the results you are looking for.
