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...

Can chiropractic cure a child's ear infections?
Chiropractic isn't a cure for anything. Nor is it a treatment for ear infections. However, many children who suffer with ear infections also suffer from spinal problems in their neck, compromising nerves to the ear, depressing the immune system and preventing proper drainage. Can chiropractic help? Find out!
What's your plan to deal with drug-resistant 'super germs'?
Chiropractors have always been concerned with the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, accelerating the mutation of microbes that make "wonder" drugs increasingly ineffective. My strategy? Do everything possible to bolster my immune system through proper diet, rest, exercise, clean air, pure water and an optimally functioning nervous system with regular chiropractic care.
