Therapeutic Massage and Chiropractic Complementary Health Care

 

Therapeutic massage is an age-old remedy which has proven to be an effective complement to chiropractic care. Both are holistic in nature, and are based on belief  in the innate healing power of the body. Together, chiropractic and massage facilitate the natural healing process by keeping the body in proper alignment and ensuring a free flow of nerve impulses and circulation of fluids. Most chiropractic doctors would agree that it is important to treat soft tissues such as muscles and tendons to help prevent and correct subluxations, and lessen the accompanying pain. Together, chiropractic and massage provide you with a more complete and effective system of health care.

Benefits of Therapeutic Massage before adjustments:

· Increases the effectiveness of chiropractic treatments

· Aids in preparing the body for chiropractic adjustments

· Helps relieve pain in muscles and related soft tissues

· Helps prevent future problems

 

Therapeutic Massage Helps

Therapeutic massage, received regularly, helps work out chronic muscular tension. Massage melts away a certain amount of tension in each session,  and if received regularly, keeps tension from building up again. It helps you identify and correct patterns of holding tension. You can learn to relax and let go of tension you may not have even been aware of. Therapeutic massage and stretching can help you regain and maintain  proper alignment When muscles are relaxed and restored to their optimal length, correct posture and alignment are more easily sustained. Massage can also trigger the relaxation response, relieving the negative effects of stress and restoring balance in the body. Some positive effects of the relaxation response include slower heart rate, deeper breathing, more relaxed muscles, and better internal circulation and digestion.
