Registered Massage and Chiropractic Work Together

For Your Optimal Health and Wellbeing

For people who experience chronic or accident-induced pain, pain management can be a confusing process. Many people wonder which type of specialist will best be able to treat their pain effectively and relieve symptoms permanently. A registered massage therapist can work alongside a chiropractor to help ease pain in a structured manner. By working together, these professionals are able to reduce pain and inflammation, and create change in the body leading to optimal health and wellbeing.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is used to benefit clients by reducing pain and stress, and promoting overall wellness and health. With physical manipulation, the tension in muscles can be released in a focused and beneficial way.

Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care is a practice that works to relieve pain from old injuries, strains from lifting, bending, twisting, and chronic pain from repetitive motions. Chiropractic care increases flexibility in the body and can also help alleviate chronic pain. Also a form of physical manipulation, chiropractors focus on the skeletal system and are required to go to medical school, like doctors.

A Healthy Combination

When these two practices are combined, the benefits of treatment can be transformative. Massage helps to retrain the muscles and soften them so that they can better adapt to a new alignment. The chiropractic care will align the skeletal system, helping the body to have more aligned postures and positions.

Chiropractic care is often done without massage, but for old injuries or chronic pain, the muscles will often try to pull the vertebrae back out of alignment and to the incorrect position. Muscle memory will result in soft tissue moving the vertebrae into old and established positions, because the new and correct position is more difficult to sustain. This is the main reason why it is most beneficial to conduct chiropractic care alongside massage therapy.
