Are you tired of the same old pain treatments? You know, the ones that cover up the pain but don't fix the real issue? Now is the time to try something new.
Chiropractic care isn't just about adjusting your spine; it's a whole-person approach to health.
Chiropractors do more than crack your back and send you on your way. As part of our full plan, you may get massage treatment and do routines to help keep up your growth.
Chiropractic care and massage work together to help fight pain. And we will show you how!
The Power of Combining Chiropractic Care and Massage Therapy
Let’s imagine your body as a car. Chiropractic adjustments, in this case, will be the tune-up for your engine that aligns your spine and keeps your nervous system running smoothly.
Massage therapy, on the other hand, is highly relaxing. It can help you relieve tension and recover faster. When you combine these two therapies, you're giving your body the best possible relaxation and tune-up!
How Chiropractic Care Works
Spinal misalignments (or subluxations) lead to pain, stiffness, and nerve confusion. Chiropractic care comes in to fix these problems.
How does that work? Chiropractic care corrects the spine, which increases nerve function, decreases inflammation, and brings the body back into balance.
Since we target the problem at its source, this method lets the body heal naturally. If you go for adjustments regularly, you can say goodbye to constant pain and enjoy better health in general.
The Benefits of Massage Therapy
In contrast, massage therapy focuses on soothing and healing the muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
When we apply highly targeted pressure to those areas, you feel better blood flow, loosen up tense or painful muscles, and easily see your body drain away waste.
This helps reduce inflammation and helps your overworked muscles recover faster.
How Chiropractic Care and Massage Work Together
When these two form a team, they give a powerful, synergistic effect. In other words, you're giving your body the ultimate treatment.
Here’s how they complement each other:
Enhanced Spinal Alignment
When muscles are tight and tense, they can pull the spine out of place, which cancels out the benefits of an adjustment. Massage therapy helps loosen these muscles, so chiropractic adjustments last longer and operate better.
Improved Range of Motion
While massage treatment aims to make those muscles more flexible, chiropractic treatment concentrates on getting the spine and joints to move as they should. Together, they will help you regain your body to full health and improve your range of motion.
Accelerated Healing
Chiropractic care also boosts your body's ability to heal itself, and a massage complements this by increasing blood flow to your muscles and tissues to speed up the healing process.
Pain Relief
The ultimate goal of both procedures is to relieve pain. Chiropractic care addresses the root of the problem, while massage therapy provides immediate relief by reducing muscle tension and inflammation. It's a one-two punch against pain.
Supporting Your Treatment with Exercise
We can take chiropractic care and massage therapy as the foundation for your back health.
But to build a strong and lasting structure, you must add exercise to the mix. When you come to Florida Keys Chiropractic & Therapy, you won’t leave without getting a personalized exercise plan targeting the muscles around your spine.
Strengthening and stretching these paravertebral muscles will help keep your spine straight and improve your strength and flexibility, which are necessary for a long-term solution. The same goes for your other joints.
