Massage Therapy at Midwest Chiropractic Care Center
Massage Room
Massage Therapy/Myofascial Therapy is utilized in our office in conjunction with Chiropractic Care to treat the whole body.
Chiropractic care focuses on the bones, joints and nerves where Massage Therapy focuses on the soft tissues like muscles, tendons and ligaments.
At Midwest Chiropractic Care Center, we have found that by combining the two forms of treatment, our patients improve much faster. We have seen better long term outcomes and reduced patient visits as a result of combining Chiropractic and Massage.
How Does Massage Therapy Work?
Massage therapy improves circulation by bringing oxygen and other nutrients to body tissues.
It relieves muscle tension and pain, increases flexibility and mobility, and helps clear lactic acid and other waste, which reduces pain and stiffness in muscles and joints.
People get massage therapy for relaxation or for a variety of health conditions:
- Back pain, neck pain, headaches
- Inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and tendinitis
- Stress relief and stress-related conditions
- Promote proper healing of injuries (such as work or auto injuries)
- Muscle and related conditions such as spasms, strains and sprains
- Repetitive strain injury, such as carpal tunnel syndrome
- Circulatory and respiratory problems
- Post surgical rehabilitation Massage therapy relieves stress.
It is thought to help the body’s stress response by lowering levels of hormones such as cortisol.
