Therapeutic Massage Services

person getting back massage A therapeutic massage can complement your chiropractic care plan in many ways. We employ massage and other natural, non-invasive healing techniques at Churn Creek Chiropractic because they complement and enhance the benefits of spinal adjustment. Loose, relaxed muscles can often result in more efficient adjustment sessions, helping you get the most out of your chiropractic treatment.

If you’re injured, your tissues need all the help they can get to feel better and recover fully. Light techniques, like Swedish massage, boost blood flow to the injured area. This not only feeds the injury site with much-needed nutrients for faster healing, but it also relieves inflammation and swelling to ease discomfort.

Our doctors and massage therapists work together to provide a comprehensive, well-rounded strategy for improving your health.

Additional Massage Methods Used

Deep tissue massage is also used by our therapists. It can help dissolve knots of scar tissues called adhesions, a common problem in injuries that can cause pain and reduced mobility.

For many of our patients, deep tissue massage can be a key component of their comprehensive chiropractic care plan. While chiropractic care can address the underlying cause of your pain, this type of massage therapy can work to reduce your pain now in a holistic, natural manner.

Deep tissue massage and trigger point therapy can also relieve muscle knots associated with fibromyalgia and other conditions. Enhanced blood flow can also reduce degenerative joint pain.

Sports massage, meanwhile, can help you get over a sports injury more efficiently. It can also loosen up your muscles and connective tissues for optimal athletic performance.
