Massage Therapy Complements Chiropractic Care At Lakewood Ranch Chiropractic
Our Lakewood Ranch chiropractor offers not just chiropractic but massage therapy too. We know firsthand that massage complements chiropractic care. Let us explain why.
Benefits of Massage Therapy?
To understand why massage therapy supports chiropractic care, let's revisit some benefits of massage. Massage promotes:
- Mental and physical relaxation
- Muscle relaxation
- Reduced inflammation
- Healing in injured tissue
- Toxin removal from the body
- Improved flexibility and range of motion
- Breakup of scar tissue
- Natural pain relief
Why Combine Massage Therapy With Chiropractic?
Now that you know all that massage can help with, let's see how massage positively affects chiropractic care.
By loosening up tight muscles and relaxing you through massage, our chiropractor can make needed adjustments easier. Since your muscles are not resisting the manual manipulations, we can "go deeper" with our spinal corrections. This allows us to resolve your underlying health complaints more quickly, so you heal faster overall.
Chiropractic, like massage therapy, seeks to improve your circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote flexibility and muscle movement. Massage does all of these things as well. When we pair these pain relief treatments together, we deliver the biggest benefit to you.
Finally, even though chiropractors and massage therapists work with different structures, all the parts of your body are interrelated. Your spine, muscle tissue, joints, and ligaments rely on one another to function properly. A spinal subluxation places additional pressure on muscles. By having chiropractic and massage, you deliver natural healing to all the parts of your body.
We may recommend that you have massage and chiropractic to treat a specific health complaint, such as fibromyalgia or sciatica pain. We may suggest pairing these treatments together if you have an injury from an auto accident or a sports injury. Massage can heal the soft tissue component of the injury and allow our chiropractor to treat your musculoskeletal problems faster.
