Massage Therapy

While chiropractic care and massage therapy are distinct practices, many chiropractors now offer massage therapy as a complementary treatment for patients with musculoskeletal issues. Most experts agree that although massage therapy can be effective on its own, it is even more beneficial when combined with chiropractic adjustments for pain relief and injury recovery.

What Is Massage Therapy?

Massage therapy involves the hands-on manipulation of the body’s soft tissues, including muscles, skin, tendons, and ligaments. There are various techniques used in massage therapy, each tailored to specific needs. Some of the most widely practiced include:

• Swedish Massage
  A gentle technique that uses long strokes, circular movements, kneading, and tapping to relax the body and refresh the mind.
• Sports Massage
  Similar to Swedish massage but designed for athletes, this method targets injury prevention and recovery related to physical activity.
• Deep Tissue Massage
  Using slower, more intense pressure, this technique focuses on the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to increase blood flow and promote healing.
• Trigger Point Massage
  This method targets tight muscle knots, often caused by overuse or injury, to release tension and promote relaxation.
