Provides a Non-Invasive Treatment Method
Unlike many methods of traditional medical treatment, chiropractic therapies are non-invasive. This means that they don’t require surgical procedures, cutting, or any internal treatments. Massage therapists utilize their hands or instruments to manually manipulate the soft tissues, muscles, tendons, and fascia. Massage therapists may knead, stroke, rock, tap, or apply pressure to parts of the body.
Treats a Wide Variety of Conditions
One of the reasons that massage therapy is such a popular form of treatment is because it can be used for a wide variety of conditions. It is a low-risk treatment with virtually no chance of negative side effects. It can be used to treat and relieve symptoms of:
- Rehabilitation from an injury
- Post-surgery rehabilitation
- Stress and anxiety disorders
- Chronic pain conditions
- Pre- and post-natal care
- Cancer and side effects from chemotherapy
- Sports, work, and auto injuries
- Sciatica, herniated discs, and bulging discs
- Back, neck, and shoulder pain
- Hypertension
- Muscle spasms
- Muscle sprains and strains
- Repetitive stress injuries
Offers Relief for a Range of Symptoms
Massage therapy provides relief for a wide range of symptoms. It is a treatment method often used in holistic healthcare. Holistic healthcare focuses on treating conditions of the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and social elements of a patient’s health. Our chiropractors may suggest massage therapy if you have chronic pain, but also if you have anxiety, stress, fatigue, high blood pressure, insomnia, depression, headaches, or migraines.
