Massage Therapy FAQs

Most chiropractic patients are familiar with spinal adjustments as a method of treatment. However, there are many other tools available to chiropractors for pain management. One of the most commonly used and effective techniques is chiropractic massage therapy. At Ringer Chiropractic, our patients often have questions about massage therapy. Here are some frequently asked questions and answers:

Is Chiropractic Massage Therapy Safe and Effective?

Chiropractic massage therapy, like all chiropractic techniques, is a scientifically tested and safe procedure for natural pain treatment. Unlike surgery or chemical drugs that may only address symptoms, chiropractic massage therapy aims to treat the underlying cause of pain. It is an effective and safe method for pain relief.

How Does Chiropractic Massage Therapy Work?

Chiropractic massage therapy focuses on manipulating the soft tissues of the body to alleviate pain. It improves blood flow to the soft tissues, reducing inflammation and promoting healing of underlying injuries.

Is Massage Therapy Painful?

The goal of chiropractic massage therapy is to promote relaxation of the soft tissues and muscles. It should not be painful. If you experience pain during a massage therapy session, it is important to inform your massage therapist immediately. They can adjust the level of the massage to ensure your comfort. Additionally, the pain may be indicative of an underlying condition that needs further examination.

Can I Combine Massage Therapy with Other Chiropractic Techniques?

During your initial consultation, we will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses all your health concerns. We can help determine the right combination of techniques, whether it involves massage therapy, chiropractic adjustments, or other holistic approaches, to help you achieve optimal wellness.
