Massage Therapy and Chiropractic
Highly trained therapists practice the art of therapeutic massage.
To join the team at Gentle Care Chiropractic, they must express a strong
desire to work primarily with people wanting to recover their health after
a recent injury or improve a chronic condition. Though anyone may see a therapist without having seen one of the doctors,
many choose to benefit from a collaborative approach between the doctor
and therapist.

Massage therapy compliments chiropractic care:
-
Muscles react to stress by shortening and tightening up. This can lead to loss of flexibility in joints, misalignments, and poor health.
-
Massage improves the body's ability to hold the
chiropractic adjustment.
Along with chiropractic adjustments, massage:
-
Alleviates low-back pain and improves range-of-motion.
-
Helps stimulate the immune system; the body’s natural defense system.
-
Helps athletes at any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts.
Massage is especially effective in helping treat chronic muscular tension, promoting tissue regeneration, improving circulation, and reducing scar tissue.
