How Massage Therapy Will Complement Your Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care involves more than just seeing a chiropractor for spinal adjustments. Chiropractic care also incorporates other non-invasive techniques like massage therapy for natural relief. Massage therapy combined with chiropractic care can help relieve tension, insomnia, digestive issues, muscle aches, migraines, and other serious health issues. At Holistic Health Clinic in Beaverton, we can determine if chiropractic care and therapeutic massage are right for your condition.

Massage Therapy and Chiropractic Care

Massage therapy is excellent for stimulating the nervous system, which releases endorphins that act as the body's natural pain killers. That's why we often pair massage therapy with our chiropractic care. Massage therapy can help improve the recovery time, while chiropractic care treats the root cause of the problem. We can determine if these treatment options will benefit you during your first consultation.

Benefits of Massage Therapy 

Some of the benefits of massage therapy include:

• Helps loosen and relax muscles before chiropractic adjustments
• Helps improve the nervous system preparing it for other chiropractic techniques
• Increases blood oxygen levels and improves circulation
• Releases endorphins that work as the body's natural painkillers
• Helps reduce inflammation
• Improves the body's range of motion
• Flushes toxins from the body
• Reduces pain by massaging trigger points

Types of Massage Therapy

Deep tissue massage uses slow and forceful strokes to help circulate blood flow. Swedish massage is gentle and uses long circular strokes and kneading to relieve tension. It's one of the most common and popular types of massage. Sports massages are designed for athletes who strain their bodies because of overuse or repetitive movement. Our massage therapists can determine what type of massage therapy is right for you.
