Many people are experiencing some type of physical stress. This could be caused by a heavy workload, a demanding family life or a stressful work environment. Regardless of the cause, the effects of physical stress are detrimental to your body. This is why it is important to seek out relief. Getting a massage is a great way to reduce stress and get your body back in shape. Adding chiropractic services to your massage can further help you recover from injuries and improve the results of your treatment.
The combination of massage therapy and chiropractic care offers the best solution to promoting body wellness and a balanced lifestyle. This is because both treatments offer a holistic approach to treating the body. Massage therapy manipulates soft tissue like muscles, tendons and ligaments while chiropractic focuses on aligning the skeletal structure to promote optimal nervous system function.
Massage can help relieve pain, decrease inflammation, increase range of motion and improve flexibility. This makes it perfect for treating muscle sprains and strains, back pain, stiff neck and shoulder, headaches, as well as sports-related injuries. It can also help relieve symptoms of fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndrome and chronic fatigue syndrome.
During massage, the body experiences an immediate increase in blood circulation. This helps to increase the oxygen supply to the muscles, tendons and ligaments which relieves pain and inflammation. Massage also stimulates the release of hormones that help to reduce tension and anxiety, as well as boosting endorphins, the brain’s natural mood regulators.
If you have a specific injury, the chiropractor will evaluate the area and determine what is causing the pain. Once the chiropractor has determined what the root cause of the pain is, they will recommend massage therapy techniques that will effectively address your condition.
Chiropractors know how interconnected the skeletal and nervous systems are, so they can accurately target healing techniques to the source of the pain rather than just the location. This allows you to receive a more comprehensive treatment that will provide long-term relief.
While massage is beneficial to most, there are a few things that should be kept in mind. Massage is not recommended for pregnant women, those with osteoporosis, spinal cord compression or inflammatory arthritis. In addition, if you have a pacemaker, or take blood thinners, it is important to speak with your doctor before seeking a massage.
