Massage & Chiropractic

Massage was at one time a luxury treatment found at spas and salons. Today, its benefits extend into mainstream medical centers, corporate offices and chiropractic offices.

There’s a good reason for this. Taking care of soft tissue problems before they domino into more pain and discomfort just makes sense, and massage treats these issues where they often begin: in muscle tissue.

Even if you are undergoing spinal adjustment therapy for spinal subluxation, the problem is only partially treated if the adjoining muscle tissue isn’t treated. Muscles that remain tight will undo the work your chiropractor has done to realign your vertebrae.

Massage is effective for low back pain, upper back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, stress, slow healing issues, and as ongoing therapy for scoliosis, sciatica, osteoarthritis and other disorders.

Massage techniques include sustained pressure and stretching to address trigger points, with a focus on practices tailored to you and your issues.
