The Benefits of Massage Therapy Combined With Chiropractic Care
If you suffer from chronic joint or muscle pain, headaches, migraines, stress, or stiffness, chiropractic care is a safe, effective treatment method. At Merivale Chiropractic and Massage Clinic, we recommend combining chiropractic care with massage therapy in Ottawa, Canada. Combining both treatment methods can address underlying causes of pain, improve your overall health, and address stress and tension.
What to Expect From Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is more than just getting a simple back rub. Our experienced massage therapists use proven, targeted techniques to manipulate your limbs, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and soft tissues. This improves circulation to the targeted treatment areas, improves function and range of motion, releases natural pain-killing endorphins, and promotes healing. Our goal is to reduce stress and tension while decreasing pain and inflammation.
What to Expect From Chiropractic Adjustments
During a chiropractic adjustment, one of our highly skilled chiropractors will use their hands or an instrument to realign your spine, limbs, muscles, and joints. The goal is to correct misalignment, improve function and form, relieve pressure on the joints and nerves, and restore the flow of nutrients throughout the spine. Many people experience immediate pain relief and improved range of motion and mobility after just one chiropractic adjustment.
Combining Chiropractic Adjustments and Massage Therapy
Undergoing massage therapy before a chiropractic adjustment will loosen tight muscles and relieve tension. This will make your chiropractic adjustment more effective by warming up the muscles and tissues. Undergoing massage therapy after a chiropractic adjustment will reduce pain and stiffness and help your joints and muscles adapt to improved spinal alignment. Tight muscles can restrict the movement of your joints and spine, making your adjustment less effective.
