Wondering what are the Benefits of Getting a Massage?

Many people are aware that chiropractic treatment usually consists of manipulation of the spine to relieve subluxations.  Though, in addition to spinal manipulation, other types of treatment may also be used by your chiropractor to encompass the whole body.  These other forms of chiropractic care include massage therapy, ultrasound, physical therapy, and/or electric stimulation.  The main purpose of these different forms of treatment is to relax the patient so that the adjustment is more effective. 

What are the benefits of getting a massage? 

• Reduces stress
• Relaxes muscles
• Improves flexibility
• Alleviates headaches
• Helps with digestive disorders
• Strengthens the immune system
• Diminishes the pain of Fibromyalgia and/or arthritis
• Helps the healing process for soft tissue strains 
• Helps manage chronic pain

Ask your chiropractor or massage therapist to explain the type of massage that would be most beneficial for your care, such as:  

• Swedish massage
• Deep Tissue
• Trigger Points
• Geriatric Massage
• Sports Massage
• Prenatal Massage

The massage therapist will ask you about your symptoms, medical history and want you the massage to do for you. They will also explain the kind of techniques that will be used, as well as an evaluation by touch to locate painful areas and to determine how much pressure to apply.

Whether you are looking for a stress-reliever from a specific health condition, massage therapy is a powerful tool to help you take charge of your health wholeness.

What is the Benefit of Chiropractic Treatment?

There are days when you don’t understand why you are in such pain, even though you have already had back surgery, on medication, or have undergone an extensive series of physical therapy.   There are three common types of treatment for chronic spinal pain for short-term AND long-term relief from pain.  These include acupuncture, anti-inflammatory drugs, and chiropractic treatment. 

Following three different studies in which patients were divided into three different groups, only patients who received chiropractic manipulation reached a level of statistically significant progress, supporting that chiropractic treatment offered the best short-term and long-term benefits for those with chronic back neck pain.

Your experience with chiropractic care will vary, of course, based on your unique case history, health status, age, and inherited family strengths and weaknesses.   However, there are some benefits of regular chiropractic care that many people can experience regardless of any existing conditions they may have:

• Increases your overall health, asthma, blood pressure, 
• Reduces pain in your back, neck, and limbs, and headaches
• Improves mental clarity
• Reduces arthritis and joint pain
• Promotes a healthy pregnancy
• Restores mobility and range of motion
• Increases how your body functions, such as bowels regularity
• Relieves tension produced by stress
• Can prevent invasive surgery and pain medications

It is important to continue chiropractic treatment for periodic spinal checkups, at least on a monthly basis.  Although subluxations may occasionally occur just from the daily stress of life, they are more simply released. Your vertebrae will move more simply, your muscles are balanced and your discs, tendons, and ligaments will be stronger than before.
