How We Can Help
A massage can be beneficial for adults and even children. It improves circulation in the veins and arteries and often lowers blood pressure. It relieves pain, stress, and strengthens the immune system. Our team will recommend the right massage therapy for your condition. There are different types of massage therapy treatments that are used depending on the patient's condition.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy is low-intensity laser therapy that stimulates healing while using low levels of light. The technique is called "cold" laser therapy because the low levels of light aren't enough to heat your body's tissue. This innovative treatment works alongside massage therapy to enhance healing and reduce recovery time.
Types of Massage Therapy
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is used to heal injuries from accidents, chronic pain, limited mobility, accidents, muscle strain, carpal tunnel, and chronic illnesses. It focuses on treating deep tissue layers and muscles. Our team will apply heat or ice packs to relieve the pain after a massage. Often, deep tissue massage is combined with exercise therapy that can be done at home to increase movement and reduce pain. This massage therapy is used to manage pain and increase mobility in more serious chronic illnesses and injuries.
Sports Massage
Sports massage is a regular massage with special stretching exercises designed to do at our office or home. Often, it is used to treat athletes and patients who work out. It can help the healing process of sports injuries and relieve muscle pain. Our chiropractor can design special exercises to help patients strengthen their arms, legs, back, and muscles.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger point therapy is a form of massage therapy used by our chiropractor to treat muscle tension, mobility, and pain. Our doctor will massage trigger points that cause pain in the body. This treatment is used to help align the spine and soothe pain in the body.
How Many Sessions Do You Need?
How many sessions you may need depends on the type of health concern being treated, whether it is part of a treatment or preventive care plan, the progressive results of each session, and your overall health goal. Our chiropractor will work with you to determine how many sessions of massage therapy will be required in your specific case.
