As much as we love being the ones you turn to for your chiropractic care needs, we always stress the importance of not relying solely on your chiropractor for better health outcomes. Sure, your mind and body will benefit immensely from gentle, specific, and consistent adjustments aimed at correcting the root causes of your pain and dysfunction throughout your entire spine, and the list of conditions that can be resolved is practically limitless. But it’s wise to combine chiropractic care with healthier lifestyle choices, stretching, healthy eating, physical therapy, and exercise throughout your overall wellness journey. One of the top items on that list of complementary add-ons is massage therapy.
Many of our patients at Compassion Family Chiropractic in Lewisville, TX, have been visiting their massage therapist of choice before or even after coming to see us. What they are finding is that when combined, they experience the following benefits:
9 Quick Benefits of Combining Chiropractic Care with Massage
Massage loosens and warms tight muscles, making chiropractic adjustments easier and more effective.
There is improved flexibility and range of motion.
Pain relief from chiropractic and massage lasts longer.
There can be a significant reduction in inflammation.
When used together, chiropractic and massage improve overall blood flow.
Soft tissue heals faster when joints are properly aligned, and muscles are relaxed.
Muscles can easily adapt to correct positioning and stay in position.
Both practices reduce stress and calm the mind.
Some patients experience a stronger immune system and a greater sense of health.
How Do Chiropractic Care and Massage Therapy Differ?
Chiropractic care focuses more on the practice of spinal health, skeletal alignment, and nervous system function. Most importantly, it is an approach to healthcare that focuses on your body’s natural ability to heal rather than covering up your symptoms. We believe God created your body with an incredible capacity to heal and thrive given the right circ*mstances and proper function. We help people with a lot of symptoms, including neck pain and back pain, in Lewisville. The way that we do that is ironically not by focusing on symptoms but by focusing on function. As people achieve symptomatic relief by elevating their function, not only do they feel better today, but their health will be better tomorrow, next week, and next month.
Working with an experienced chiropractor in Lewisville is one way to correct the spine’s alignment, help the nervous system, restore normal joint and muscle function, and change the trajectory of a person’s health. That is our mission with every person that we serve.
While chiropractors are licensed to perform spinal adjustments, massage therapy focuses on manipulating soft tissue, ligaments, muscles, and tendons to increase blood flow, restore flexibility, relieve chronic pain and tension, boost recovery from injury, and promote healing. It is a wonderful add-on to regular chiropractic care, as a chiropractor can diagnose the ailment (herniated disc) and work to get the body into proper alignment while the massage therapist provides relief from muscular pain to promote faster healing.
There are many different massage techniques, including Swedish massage and Deep Tissue massage, and both can be an integral part of a successful treatment plan when provided before or after a chiropractic care session.
We know that your health matters to you, and it also matters to us. Our goal is to provide you and your family with the best chiropractic care available so that you all can enjoy better health benefits. We are also committed to referring you to additional services beyond what we do — including massage therapy — to increase healing and improve long-term health.
We hope that when you step into our office, you feel welcome, loved, and like family.
