Massage in the Manchester Chiropractic Treatment Plan

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

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

What is Massage Therapy?

Complementary to chiropractic care at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries with Cox Technic Flexion Distraction and Decompression spinal manipulation, massage therapy is the manual manipulation of the body's soft tissue structures through a variety of techniques 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 in pain.

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