Massage & Chiropractic:
​The Dynamic Duo!!

Massage Therapy in conjunction with Chiropractic care is the ULTIMATE holistic duo for battling pain and dysfunction of the body. Want to know why?
Massage Therapy is the manipulation of the soft tissue of the body. When we have pain in an area of our body, typically there is some sort of imbalance muscularly and/or structurally. Let’s say you have lower back pain that radiates down your leg. Your leg muscles and hip muscles are most likely tight. When muscles are tight there is stress on our tendons, which can pull at a joint or spinal vertebrae. Once a joint or vertebrae are affected by muscle tightness, your alignment may become imbalanced causing a subluxation.
A subluxation is a partial dislocation or misalignment of a joint/vertebrae. This can cause issues with your central nervous system. Your central nervous system (CNS) is responsible for most of the functions of the entire body. A disturbance in your CNS can lead to chronic pain, inflammation, stress, metabolic issues, etc. Chiropractic adjustments work by realigning the spine and improving the function of the central nervous system. Long term untreated alignment imbalances can cause irreversible nerve damage.
The picture above shows the vertebrae that affect different body functions
Let’s take a look at the lower back pain I spoke of previously: Tight muscles can cause misalignment/subluxations. Misalignment can cause pain and dysfunction of the entire body.
The image here is showing the chain reaction of improper alignment
Don’t wait to treat your pain!! Choose the holistic approach to a healthier you. Massage Therapy is important for treating soft tissue issues while Chiropractic improves joint and spinal health. The combination together is a dynamic duo. Let Massage Therapy and Chiropractic Care be part of your routine healthcare regime.
