What Is the Difference Between Massage and Chiropractic Muscle Therapy?

Picture
​The term massage often causes the mind to think of candles, warm towels, and quiet music. Massage therapy can do wonders after a day full of stress or physical adventure. Muscles love the attention for sure! However, massage therapies have not always been held close into traditional Western medicine practices. Yet, this has begun to change as chiropractic patients have begun to recognize the impact that chiropractic muscle therapy has for promoting health in the body. Chiropractic muscle therapy focuses on the spine and its relationship to nerves, muscles, and joints in the body.
​
Chiropractic care plans are developed to maximize health and minimize pain. The chiropractic adjustment is to help promote regular and natural communications in the nervous system. The musculoskeletal and neuromuscular systems love to have attention focused on them in a way that fosters their abilities to do their jobs for the body. The option to combine treatment styles gives patients an incredibly long list of conditions to treat. A few common conditions include arthritis, degenerative conditions, back pain, bursitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, disc problems, concussion, fibromyalgia, headaches, migraines, pain during pregnancy, pinched nerves, scoliosis, sciatica, shoulder pain, spondylosis, strains, sprains, stenosis, tendonitis, and whiplash. The added benefits of chiropractic muscle therapy have become a favored tool for many individuals seeking to maximize their body’s ability to stay well. Fostering health and wellness throughout the body as a whole is the epitome of what chiropractic is designed to achieve! Muscle therapy works to further promote the work done for the body by the chiropractic adjustment.
