Chiropractic + Massage Therapy Can Enhance the Benefits of Both Modalities

Many chiropractors and massage therapists have come to understand that when an individual is seeking treatment for a chronic condition, utilizing both chiropractic and massage therapy in conjunction can enhance the benefits of both modalities.

While chiropractic realigns the spine and joints, and manipulates hard tissues, massage therapy manipulates the soft tissues such as the muscles, fascia, tendons and ligaments.

Overcoming Chronic Pain Due to Muscle Memory

Often, muscle memory enables chronic pain, in which case soft tissue pulls the vertebra out of alignment. By using massage therapy to soften the muscles and attaching tendons related to the misalignment, the muscles are then able to better conform to the chiropractic adjustment.

Consequently, it is worthwhile to employ both modalities to stabilize the musculoskeletal system together rather than expecting one system on its own to transform the whole.
