Chiropractic |
|
| |
Massage therapy is the perfect compliment to chiropractic
care. Chiropractic treatment often proceeds more easily and
with less discomfort when soft tissue has been relaxed with
massage. Together, massage and chiropractic aid the body's
natural healing process, ensuring the free flow of nerve impulses
and circulation of fluids.
Muscles are attached to the bones and joints, so it is
important for them to be relaxed and stretched to aid in
adjustments of the skeletal system.
Benefits include:
| • |
Adjustments
frequently last longer when muscle tension is released via
massage therapy |
| • |
Massage
therapy helps to prevent muscle spasms and muscle problems
resulting from the chiropractic adjustment |
| • |
Massage
makes the joints more pliable and accepting of chiropractic
adjustments, producing a better effect with less discomfort |

Acupuncture |

Acupuncture and
massage are part of traditional Chinese medicine and among the
oldest healing practices in the world.

qi in the body. Acupuncture can unblock qi and massage can
balance the body into a cohesive, energetic whole.
