Massage

Therapeutic massage is an age-old remedy, which has proven to be an effective complement to chiropractic care. Both are holistic in nature, and are based in the innate healing power of the body. Massage therapy, together with chiropractic care, provide you with a more complete and effective system of health care to help you deal with the stress of daily living.

Our bodies are a mirror of our daily lives, reflecting the positive and the negative actions and movements. Repetitive movement required in certain occupations such as computer data input, physical labor such as carpentry or gardening, sports such as tennis and golf, can lead to chronic muscle tension, dysfunction and pain.

Muscles become tight with tension. This leads to loss of flexibility in joints, misalignment and poor posture. Circulation is decreased causing ischemia and pain. Trigger points are common with chronic tension, and the pain-spasm-pain cycle may set in.

If you unfortunately, experience an auto accident or some other traumatic event, the connective tissue complex can become involved in the pain pattern as well. In this situation, Myofascial Release (Myo = Muscle, fascia = connective tissue) techniques are required to address the pain and postural anomalies.

Therapeutic massage and Myofascial Release are effective in treating Headaches, TMJ Pain, Frozen Shoulder Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, Low Back Pain, Knee Pain, Plantar Fascitis, Fibromyalgia, as well as numerous other conditions involving chronic muscle pain.

Therapeutic massage and Myofascial Release received regularly, helps to work out chronic muscle pain. When muscles are relaxed and restored to their optimal length, correct posture and alignment are more easily sustained allowing you to do the things you need to do, as well as the things you love to do.
