Massage Therapy
So although we feel the exact, precise chiropractic adjustment will unlock the body’s innate healing mechanisms, we feel that you will derive even better results with the use of massage therapy.
Here is a true scenario…A 46 year old woman is hit from behind in a car accident. She has whiplash, has migraine headaches, dizziness, with a constant burning at the base of her neck. The muscle relaxants her family doctor gave her made her tired and she couldn’t concentrate at work. The pain killers didn’t help much but made her constipated. When we very gently adjust her spine and then schedule her again for a “tailored massage”, gradually her tissues relax, the toxins are released, and a natural path to healing occurs.
So we have five massage therapists, all female, all certified, who will give you a 45 minute massage. Most people at first get it to their back, but eventually they enjoy the full body massage. In our injury-prone, stressful work, what a joy to lie there, relax, and get your neck, back, face, feet, arms and legs gently or firmly massaged, exactly to your preference.
I’ll be honest with you—many chiropractors don’t have any massage therapists or maybe one on staff—why? Because they have told us it is more profitable to put on physical therapy devices than to have the spacious rooms and another employee to do the massage. And although physiotherapy has its role, we believe there is no substitute for the human touch. And it is not just the massage therapist’s touch, but her spirit, a gentle soul who can listen and encourage you. We gently realign the spine, then massage therapist reduces muscle and joint strain and it’s a great combination.
