Massage therapy is a complementary companion to chiropractic wellness and care. Our chiropractor helps our Midtown West Manhattan massage therapy patients alleviate back pain, neck pain, headaches, repetitive motion injuries and other pain caused by personal injuries. Massage therapy not only helps with healing, but it also can play a role in preventative care. This gentle therapy relaxes muscles to relieve tension in the body and increase circulation to the injury site, which decreases inflammation. It aids in reducing stress, which can be detrimental to the body physically and emotionally. Stress can cause patients to have sleepless nights, trigger emotional eating and depress the immune system.

Chiropractor Incorporates Massage Therapy with Chiropractic Wellness Treatments

There are many benefits of massage, both physical and mental. Often, physical and emotional health is intertwined — that's why chiropractic and preventative care go hand-in-hand. Massage therapy relaxes the body to reduce pain, which accelerates healing and increases the flow of oxygen in the blood, strengthening the immune system to help the body fight off sickness. Massage can help our Midtown West Manhattan patients sleep better and experience less stress. Massage therapy complements chiropractic care for patients seeking spinal adjustment treatments for repetitive motion injuries, neck and back pain or other conditions by accentuating and accelerating the body’s own healing process.

Our chiropractor and staff of trained massage therapists will customize a massage therapy treatment to meet each individual patient’s needs. There are several goals that can be accomplished with massage, including pain relief, the working out deep-seated tensions in the musculoskeletal system, relief of pressure on bones and joints, reduction of inflammation that causes pain and increased circulation to the area that is injured. By improving circulation the body is able to bring nutrients and oxygen to the injury site while pushing toxins out. Massage can also stimulate the production of endorphins, which will help improve range of motion and movement while reducing pain.

Preventative wellness starts with proper treatment. Our chiropractor is dedicated to providing excellent care and treatment options to his patients. He believes in the total body approach by combining chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, nutrition and a healthy lifestyle to achieve chiropractic wellness. If you are ready to get on track to becoming pain free and reaching a high level of total body wellness, then call our office today for an appointment.
