There are a number of benefits
that you can get by adding massage therapy to your chiropractic treatments or
vice versa. Recovery is normally faster and more complete when you
address all the aspects of pain. That is why the combination of massage and
chiropractic can be so powerful. Chiropractic
treatments are often more comfortable when muscles, ligaments, tendons and fascia are relaxed
with massage. |
After a relaxing massage you can feel less anxious and more prepared
to comfortably have a chiropractic adjustment. Adjustments can last longer when muscle tension is
addressed and reduced by massage. If we find pain persisting or getting worse after massage
treatments I often refer clients to have a chiropractic assessment. If pain involves a misalignment of joints an adjustment may give immediate relief as
your joint is returned to its proper position. |
Soft tissue heals quickly once the stress of misaligned joints has been addressed. Chiropractic adjustments can help
to relax deep layers of soft tissue
that is difficult to reach with massage. Your chiropractor often uses x-rays
and other testing procedures that can show other causes for pain. We both have the same goal in mind
“your good health”. “A multi-treatment approach to relieving back pain often has the best
success rate.”

Massage & Medications
“What You Should Know” |
||||
|
What medications are
you taking? Before your first massage treatment you would have been
asked about any medications that you are taking. Make sure to list
them all. This is an extremely important step that helps me decide
what interaction (if any) massage may have with your prescriptions. It’s also important to bring me be up-to-date on any
changes in your medications before any of your following treatments. |
Today there are so many types of medication that I will be
the first person to admit I may have to do a bit of research
before I can let you know how massage may affect its action. Care has to be
taken to watch for any exaggerated effects that massage may have while you
are taking medications. Massage may affect
the dosage of some medications. You may find you
might need more of some medications or just the opposite for other types. Not all interactions are bad either. |
Massage can actually help alleviate
some of the side effects of drugs such as constipation, muscle pain and
bloating. A wish from my family to yours “Merry Christmas” and have a “Happy & Prosperous New Year”
