Massage Therapy at Merivale Chiropractic Clinic

Massage provides relief for many of our patients.
What is massage therapy?

Massage Therapy is the hands-on manipulation of the soft tissues of the body. Specifically the muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and joints.

The therapeutic effects of massage therapy improve health and well-being by acting on the muscular, nervous, and circulatory systems. With massage therapy physical function can be improved, maintained and properly developed. Physical dysfunction and pain can be relieved or prevented.

Massage therapy can effect the release of endorphrins decreasing the perception of pain, reducing heart rate and increasing blood circulation and lymph flow. Thereby improving body functions and helping with relaxation.

Dr. Leo Asks some important questions of interest to Nepean residents - Chiropractor Nepean Dr. Leo Asks...

How could chiropractic help a stomach problem?
Chiropractic works by locating and reducing areas of the spine compromising nerve communications between your brain and your body. If nerves to or from your stomach are irritated, your stomach won't work right. Chiropractors find the source of the interference, reduce it and allow your body to work as designed.
How long does it take to form a bone spur?
Many who begin chiropractic care think their problem happened "last week when you bent over funny." But pictures of the spine tell a different story. Chiropractors know it can take your body years to deposit the calcium necessary to form a bone spur. It's your body's response to stress due to gravity or joint malfunction. And chiropractic care can help.
