Benefits of complementing your chiropractic adjustment with massages

Benefits of Accompanying Your Chiropractic Adjustment with Massages

While massage is often associated with a visit to the spa, massage is now available from specialists. Massage also produces an incredible variety of health benefits, not to mention pain relief. These may include:

• Increased circulation

• Decreased stress

• Improved sleep

• Decreased blood pressure

• Greater range of motion

• Increased energy

Some studies also suggest that massage may increase the number of white blood cells in the immune system, which can help the body defend against illness. There are many different types of massages: deep tissue, Swedish, sports, and trigger point. Depending on the type you request, different degrees of pressure are used.

Massage also serves as an ideal complement to chiropractic care. If a massage is given before an adjustment, it can help relax tight muscles. Given after an adjustment, massage could help the alignment hold for a longer time. Consider getting a massage before and after your next adjustment so you can experience the benefits.
