Chiropractic Massage
Massage therapy addresses a variety of health conditions, the most prevalent being stress-related tension, which, experts believe, accounts for 80%-90% of disease. Massage has been proven beneficial in treating cancer-related fatigue, sleep disorders, high blood pressure, diabetes, low back pain, immunity suppression, spinal cord injury, autism, post-operative surgery, age-related disorders, infertility, eating disorders, smoking cessation, and depression, to name just a few. Massage has many physiological effects, such as:
BENEFITS OF MASSAGE THERAPY
lIncreased circulation to all areas of the body. This means that more oxygen goes to the tissues, enabling them to function more efficiently.
lRemoval of toxins and waste products that build up in the tissues.
lReduction in recovery time from certain injuries.
lSoftening of the connective tissue that permeates the body, resulting in more relaxed muscles and more efficient organ function.
lBreaking of the pain-tension cycle, which helps prevent muscle strains and aches.
lIncreased flexibility and joint mobility.
lBetter muscular balance throughout the body, resulting in effective support for other healing modalities, such as chiropractic and osteopathic manipulation.
