Pain Relief from Massage Therapy

Few things can ruin your day or slow you down quite like back or neck pain caused by injury, overuse, or other medical conditions. These issues cause some everyday tasks to be painful or nearly impossible. Massage therapy can reduce stress and pain, and improve circulation and flexibility. This therapy loosens muscles and tendons while increasing blood flow throughout the body. In addition to providing pain relief, massage therapy has also been known to reduce fatigue and help with mobility problems.

Pain Relief from Our Chiropractor

Chiropractic care provides many of the same benefits massage therapy offers and more, but it uses different methods to achieve its goals. Through the use of manual adjustments, a chiropractor manipulates the joints, spine, and neck of a patient to provide pain relief. Our chiropractor, Dr. Mary Jo Johnson also treats pain related to herniated or bulging discs by realigning the vertebrae in a person's spine. The vertebrae of a person's spine can fall out of alignment due to an injury, overuse, or even bad posture. Chiropractic care works to reverse misalignments, allowing the body to return to a natural and balanced state of being. Good posture is one of the best defenses against nerve and joint pain and Dr. Johnson can also provide proper posture guidance for your work and home routines.

By utilizing both chiropractic care and massage therapy together for a complete treatment plan for pain and dysfunction, greater results are possible than either modality could provide alone. Massage has the benefit of relaxing a person's soft tissues and promoting blood flow, thereby increasing the effectiveness of manual adjustments.
