Chiropractic Adjustment

Chiropractic adjustments are the primary treatment your chiropractor uses to help to relieve pain and help the impulses from the brain get to all the extremities and organs to help your body function at an optimum level. More than 100 chiropractic adjustment techniques are used around the world, and our chiropractor stays up to date on all the latest options available. To get the vertebrae or any joint needing adjustment back into alignment, there needs to be manipulation of the joint. It can be done with the hands, or it may be instrument assisted.

Massage therapy may be used before or after an adjustment to help with recovery or preparation for the adjustment.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is often used to complement chiropractic adjustment. If it is used before an adjustment, it can help to relax the muscles to make them more receptive to the adjustment. There are many different massage options, and which one will be used depends on the ultimate goal of the treatment and the patient. Deep tissue massage and sports massage are designed to release the knots and tension that have made muscles spasm and become painful. The therapist will work on trigger points to break down the knots.

A relaxation massage helps the muscles to relax after or before an adjustment. It is more of a feel-good type of massage that leaves you relaxed and is good for both mind and body. Both massage therapy and chiropractic care help you with pain, and they work even better when used together.
