Make a Massage Therapy Appointment
Massage is an ancient therapy that has been practiced in virtually every civilization.
Massage therapy had become lost to our culture largely due to our belief that medical science would solve any problems we might have.
Fortunately, with the realization that drugs and surgery often have troubling side effects, can be very
costly, and often treat symptoms rather than causes, massage therapy is gaining deserved ground as a natural treatment
with little risk.
Massage therapists work on the soft tissues of the body, the muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia, which are very responsive
to touch. It is important to note that most pain originates in the soft tissue. You will hear your massage therapist
talk about trigger points - sensitive points in muscles which radiate or refer pain to various parts of the body. For instance, most headaches originate in the muscles of the neck and
head. Much of the pain of angina comes from the hypercontraction of the chest muscles. Low back pain and sciatic pain are far
more likely to originate in muscles than in vertebral disk problems.
Our chiropractic physicians will have you see a massage therapist, as needed, before your chiropractic treatment.
