Highly Trusted Chiropractic Massage Therapy
Chiropractic massage therapy, also known as chiropractic care or massage therapy, is the systematized manipulation of soft tissues for the purpose of normalizing them. Our Chiropractic clinic at St Paul, which is protected by liability insurance, offers a range of services in chiropractic care and massage therapy, including appointment scheduling. We use a variety of physical methods, including applying fixed or movable pressure, holding, or causing movement to the body. Therapists primarily use their hands, but may also use their forearms or elbows, providing effective chiropractic care and massage therapy to our patients.
The basic goal of chiropractic treatments, massage therapy, and contrast therapy for patients is to help alleviate pain, facilitate the patients’ body’s healing process, and increase their health and well-being, particularly by targeting the muscles. Massage therapy can be a great way for patients to manage pain, keep their bodies in top shape, so they can have more energy and feel great as they age.
Chiropractic massage therapy, performed by a skilled massage therapist, along with chiropractic care, addresses a variety of health conditions, the most prevalent being stress-related tension, which, experts believe, accounts for 80%-90% of diseases. Massage, combined with chiropractic care, has been proven beneficial in treating fatigue, sleep disorders, high blood pressure, low back pain, post-operative surgery, infertility, and depression to name just a few.
Touch is the core ingredient of chiropodist massage therapy for patients, especially when it comes to addressing pain, and also combines science and art. Practitioners learn specific techniques for chiropractic massage and use their sense of touch to determine the right amount of pressure to apply to each patients and locate areas of tension and other soft-tissue problems. Touch also conveys a sense of caring, an important component in the healing relationship with patients.
When muscles are overworked and causing back pain, chiropractic care and back massage therapy, while providing their services, must also consider therapist liability. They can help alleviate the accumulation of waste products such as lactic acid in the back muscle through massage therapy, thereby reducing back soreness, stiffness, and even back muscle spasm associated with back pain.
What to Expect in Chiropractic Massage Therapy?
At your first appointment, our Chiropractor St Paul will discuss your health and goals for chiropodist massage therapy.
Traditionally, chiropractic practice involves chiropractic massage, which is typically performed with the client unclothed, but you may undress to your own comfort level. You will always be draped with a sheet and only the area being treated will be undraped. However, keep in mind that for many conditions, working directly on your skin will provide you with the best possible treatments.
Once a treatment protocol is determined to reach your goals in massage therapy and chiropractic care, your message will begin. A variety of massage tools such as handheld massagers, foam rollers, or massage balls may be utilized to enhance the effectiveness of the treatments, alongside chiropractic techniques. A light oil or gel will still be used to avoid excessive friction to the skin, ensuring a smooth and comfortable experience.
During a chiropractic adjustment and massage therapy session, close your eyes and allow yourself to relax as completely as possible. Focus your attention on breathing slowly and deeply, enhancing the effects of the chiropractic adjustment.
Results may be noticed within the sessions of chiropractic care and massage therapist treatments will continue after the session has ended. Following a chiropractor massage, it is important to take care of your spinal health and drink plenty of water to help flush out any toxins that have been released from your soft tissue during spinal chiropractic massage therapy and other treatments.
