Should You Combine Massage Therapy and Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractors often recommend combining more than one chiropractic therapy to accelerate healing, improve function and mobility, and relieve pain. Because chiropractic care is non-invasive, non-surgical, and doesn’t rely on prescription medication, combining treatment methods is safe and effective. At Tustin Family Chiropractic, our chiropractors Dr. Charina Holmes and Dr. Monica Mir have extensive experience in multiple chiropractic therapies. We specialize in chiropractic care, auto injury and work injury treatment, diet and nutritional counseling, lifestyle modification, and massage therapy in Tustin, CA.
What Do Chiropractic Adjustments Do?
Chiropractic adjustments can correct dysfunction, misalignment, and restrictions in the spine, joints, and muscles. Our chiropractors will use their hands or an instrument to apply force to your spine, shifting it gently back into alignment. Adjustments can relieve pressure and stress on the nerves, muscles, joints, and tissues surrounding the spine. They can also reduce pain and inflammation, restore function and mobility, increase range of motion and flexibility, and improve your overall wellness.
What Does Massage Therapy Do?
During chiropractic massage therapy, we will apply moderate pressure to your limbs, muscles, and soft tissues to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. Massage therapy offers pain relief, reduces stress and strain, and restores circulation and flexibility.
Should You Get Massage Therapy Before a Chiropractic Adjustment?
When you get massage therapy before a chiropractic adjustment, your limbs and muscles will be looser. This can make your adjustment more effective and extend pain relief. Massage therapy essentially warms up your muscles and soft tissues and enhances chiropractic adjustments.
Should You Get Massage Therapy After a Chiropractic Adjustment?
When you get massage therapy after a chiropractic adjustment, the treatment can help your spine, muscles, and soft tissues adapt to their new positions. Massage therapy can enhance mobility and loosen muscles so that you are more flexible post-adjustment.
