Massage

"Ahhhh..." is music to a massage therapist's ear!

Massage therapy is typically thought of for relaxation, but massage therapy can be so much more when tied together with chiropractic techniques. Massage treatment offered in the chiropractic office tries to deliver the "Ahhhh..." response as well as more specific soft tissue and muscle work to relieve tightness and allow the adjustment's realignment of bones and its subsequent pain relief to last a bit longer. Massage treatment goes hand-in-hand with the Cox Technic protocols.

What is Massage Therapy?

Complementary to chiropractic, Cox Technic Flexion Distraction and Decompression spinal manipulation, massage therapy is the manual manipulation of the body's soft tissue structures through an assortment of methods ranging from relaxing to rehabilitative. Soft tissues include muscle, skin, tendons, fascia, ligaments and joint capsules. These are often related when the spine and extremities are hurting.

With massage therapy, function, flexibility and overall circulation of the soft tissues increase.
