How Massage and Chiropractic Care are Beneficial when used Together
Many people see a Chiropractor only a few times a year, usually when they have experienced a lingering back or neck pain. The first thing one may think when they have over worked themselves to a point of nagging back or neck pain is that they need to see a Chiropractor. This may be true indeed, but what they may not know is that traumatized muscles surrounding the unaligned vertebrae may need attention too!
Massage Therapy treatment can help alleviate the inflamed muscles and restore them to a healthier state. Deep Tissue Massage or Sports Massage Therapy are two different types of Massage Treatments that are very effective relieving the effects of scar tissue build up from muscle injury or trauma.
Chiropractic care alone may not be enough to keep ones body alignment stable for the long term. A Chiropractic treatment may relieve ones pinched nerves immediately after the treatment, but often times can require the patient to return several times for additional adjustments to keep the new alignment in place.
This can result in very costly amounts of money, co-payments and insurance bills as well as being very time consuming.
To get the most out of your chiropractic treatment note these simple steps!
1. Find a Chiropractor that supports Massage integration!
2. Get a 30 to 60 minute massage the morning before your Chiropractic treatment.
This will make your Chiropractic treatment go much smoother, and minimize the trauma your muscles might experience during the adjustment.
3. Schedule a massage for the very next day after your Chiropractic adjustment.
This will insure you get the most benefit from your Chiropractic adjustment. Your muscles will be more likely to keep from becoming inflamed and "Pulling" at your vertebrae, possibly resulting from a re-occurance of miss-alignment.
Repeating this sequence after you feel rehabilitated will insure proper spinal health and mobility.
It is always recommended to find a clinic that offers such services. A Massage Clinic and Chiropractic Care together so that your Massage Therapist and your Chiropractor can discuss the best options for your health.
