Is There Benefit to Combining Massage Therapy with Chiropractic?
Have you ever thought about combining chiropractic treatments with massage therapy? Well, we are here to let you know that there could be several reasons why it might be a good idea!
Chiropractic care focuses predominantly on addressing the skeletal system and assessing how our joints function and move. Massage therapy focuses more on the muscles in order to relieve pain, reduce muscle tension and rehabilitate injuries.
When a joint becomes restricted it can lose its proper range of motion leading to increased muscle tension and pain. Our chiropractors perform specific spinal adjustments to help restore proper range of motion to the joint and reduce muscle tension. They also incorporate soft tissue techniques to address muscle tension, myofascial adhesions, and trigger points. However, sometimes that body needs a little more attention which is why massage therapy is a great way to compliment your chiropractic adjustments.
At Kingaroy Chiropractic and Wellness we have a number of patients that combine massage therapy with chiropractic treatment. There are several potential benefits to combining massage therapy with chiropractic care. These may include:
- Faster results in getting you out of pain and improving your mobility
- Reduced muscle tension resulting in a more comfortable chiropractic adjustment
- Stress relief
