Chiropractic Massage
BENEFITS OF MASSAGE THERAPY

Massage therapy addresses a variety of health conditions. The most prevalent being stress-related tension, which, experts believe, accounts for 80%-90% of disease.

Massage has been proven beneficial in treating cancer-related fatigue, sleep disorders, high blood pressure, diabetes, low back pain, immunity suppression, spinal cord injury, autism, post-operative surgery rehab, age-related disorders, infertility, eating disorders, smoking cessation, and depression, to name just a few.

Massage has many physiological effects, such as:
*Increased circulation to all areas of the body. This means that more oxygen gets to the tissues, enabling them to function more efficiently.
*Removal of toxins and waste products that build up in the tissues.
*Reduction in recovery time from certain injuries.
*Softening of the connective tissue that permeates the body, resulting in more relaxed muscles and more efficient organ function.
*Breaking of the pain-tension cycle, which helps prevent muscle strains and aches.
*Increased flexibility and joint mobility.
*Better muscular balance throughout the body, resulting in effective support for other healing modalities, such as chiropractic and osteopathic manipulation.
