Counselman & Wade Chiropractic Discusses Massage Therapy and Chiropractic Care

Dysfunction of the structures in the spine can lead to a variety of related muscle and joint problems as the body tries to compensate for inefficient movement. Massage therapy is sometimes used along with chiropractic treatment to reduce this effect and help patients return to greater comfort and mobility. At Counselman & Wade Chiropractic in Topeka, KS, we offer massage therapy as a helpful enhancement for your chiropractic care.

Benefits of Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is the methodical manipulation of the soft tissues of the body in order to reduce discomfort and improve function. A massage therapist uses a number of different movements to improve circulation and the flow of nutrients through the body. As a result, the patient experiences a release of stress and an overall sense of relaxation and well-being. Massage can even lower blood pressure and boost immune system function. Because of its many benefits, it is often used along with chiropractic care to speed healing and reduce residual discomfort.

How Massage Therapy Complements Chiropractic Care

Our chiropractor may recommend massage therapy as part of your care plan. Combining massage therapy and chiropractic treatment can increase comfort levels more quickly and help patients enjoy easier movement in a faster time frame. Massage can help with myofascial pain, nerve pain, muscle injury and joint discomfort. It can also help you sleep better and reduce anxiety.
