A massage can do wonders for anyone who needs a moment to relax after a tough week or has developed some general soreness from physical exertion. But the benefits of massage therapy stretch much further than that β they can actually improve your health and well-being. Not only do our therapists specialize in a variety of techniques such as Swedish, Deep Tissue and Cross Friction, they coordinate their care with our doctors for any patient who is also receiving chiropractic treatment.
This enhanced level of communications gives our patients everything they need to enjoy happier, healthier lives. Beyond simple relaxation, massage therapy is shown to help alleviate health problems such as stress, high blood pressure, weak immune system, headache, osteoarthritis, cancer and depression, as well as improving your overall chiropractic care.
When we are mentally stressed, a lot can happen to our bodies physically. Our energy can lower, our stomachs can become upset, we can experience aches and pains, our pulse can quicken, we can suffer from insomnia, and our risk of illness greatly increases more on that below.
But with regular massage sessions over a prolonged time period, we can see our energy levels increase, our pain decrease, and our overall physical selves can feel healthier. And when we experience physical stress, such as pain from a car accident, repetitive motions or sports injuries, our spine can become destabilized.
So while a chiropractor is treating the spine issues, a massage therapist working in tandem can help alleviate the stress as well, speeding up the time to recovery. When our blood pressure is high, our heart is working overtime β sometimes dangerously so. But with regular massage therapy, you can help lower your blood pressure.
