You already know that chiropractic is incredibly effective when it comes to relieving pain, improving flexibility and much more. We also offer two other ways to encourage relaxation, reduce pain and promote better overall health—massage and acupuncture. These modalities are a great complement to chiropractic care. Massage is ideal before a chiropractic adjustment as it helps to loosen up certain areas of the body, so it’s easier to get adjusted. Many patients choose to get a massage after their chiropractic appointment. This can be just as beneficial and is really a patient preference.
Massage
There are numerous benefits associated with massage:
✓ Promotes relaxation
✓ Relieves inflammation and pain
✓ Increases circulation
✓ Promotes better sleep
✓ Improves flexibility
Communication Is Key
We have three therapists on staff: Lauren, Jill and Susan. They are skilled in various types of massage. Communication with your therapist is essential. It’s important to let her know the kind of pressure you prefer and if there are certain areas you’d like her to focus on.
Acupuncture
An ancient form of Chinese medicine, acupuncture correlates to chiropractic as it relieves inflammation so it’s easier to be adjusted. Jessa, our acupuncturist, can provide treatments before or after an adjustment. Acupuncture is a safe and effective therapy for a broad array of issues. Schedule a free consult with Jessa to discuss the possible issues she may treat.
What About the Needles?
You may be surprised to learn that acupuncture needles are extremely slender. They’re nothing like a sewing needle or those used to draw blood, for example. Typically, acupuncture causes little discomfort. To most peoples’ surprise, many patients leave their appointment very relaxed.
