Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health. Chiropractic care is used most often to treat neuromusuloskeletal complaints, including but not limited to; back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches.
Chiropractors practice a drug-free, hands-on approach to health care that includes patient examination, diagnosis and treatment. Chiropractors have broad diagnostic skills and are also trained to recommend therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises, as well as to provide nutritional, dietary and lifestyle counseling, according to the American Chiropractic Association.
Massage therapy
Massage is one of the oldest forms of therapy and is a system of gliding, kneading, and compressing different areas of the body to relieve pain, induce relation, stimulate muscles when necessary, and to tone the body. Massage also does much more than create a pleasant sensation on the skin, it also works on the soft tissues (the muscles, tendons, and ligaments) to improve muscle tone.
The benefits of massage may also reach the deeper layers of muscle and possibly even the organs themselves. Massage also stimulates blood circulation, improving the elimination of waste throughout the body.
Benefits of Combining Both Practices
Massage Therapy and Chiropractic Care combined can be a powerful tool to add to your health care routine. Massage Therapy conditions the muscles so your chiropractic adjustment is easier and lasts for days longer. Likewise, when your joints are out of alignment, your muscles compensate for that misalignment, creating adhesion's, trigger points and tight muscles.
