Massage May Loosen Tight Muscles

During chiropractic visits, our chiropractic care team will seek to help restore alignment and mobilize rigid joints with manual techniques. However, the surrounding muscles might still be tense and irritated. Massage may help loosen muscle knots and bands that prevent full range of motion. It may help reduce muscle tension caused by injuries, poor posture, stress, and repetitive motions. Thankfully, we can target problem areas for deep tissue techniques to potentially help prepare the muscles to better respond to adjustments.

Circulation and Healing

Massage movements stimulate circulation in strained tissues by increasing blood flow. Improved circulation may help deliver more oxygen and nutrients to affected areas to potentially speed up the natural healing process. For injuries like sprains or whiplash, boosting blood flow may help remove waste products and inflammation.

Massage May Help Decrease Inflammation and Pain

Kneading muscles release natural pain-relieving chemicals like endorphins. Pressure triggers receptors that block pain signals to the brain. As swelling and irritation subside, you might experience decreased muscle and joint pain. Combining massage with chiropractic care might help provide even greater relief by addressing pain triggers from both the muscles and skeletal alignment.
