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...

What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
Why does chiropractic work?
Chiropractic works because your nervous system, consisting of your brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of your body, controls and regulates every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. A chiropractor locates and reduces areas of nervous system compromise (usually along the spine) so your capacity to heal is restored. Chiropractic works by helping your body work as it was designed.
