Chiropractic massage is a hands-on treatment that can help relieve muscle tension, and improve circulation and range of motion. It also helps alleviate pain. However, these benefits are just the tip of the iceberg for those who receive chiropractic care. Learn about the amazing benefits of routine chiropractic massage and why consider this treatment for your pain and discomfort.

  • Ease and Prevent Pain:

When you get a massage, your body relaxes and releases the tension that is causing some of the pain. This lowers the amount of pain you feel.

 

  • Improve Performance:

Massage removes tension, breaks up adhesions and scar tissue, improves joint mobility and range of motion, as well as flushes lactic acid and other toxins out of muscle tissue. This improves balance and proprioception.

 

  • Improve Recovery:

Massages directly influence the production of serotonin in the body, which is then needed for the production of melatonin. Melatonin helps regulate sleep and wake patterns to produce a better night’s rest which improves recovery.

 

  • Headache Relief:

Massages can help alleviate headaches by reducing stress and improving sleep. Headaches are often caused by tension due to stress and sleep deprivation. When massages help reduce stress and improve sleep, headaches caused by tension can go away.

  • Manage Anxiety and Depression:

Massages have always been known to help reduce stress and promote relaxation. It stands to reason, then, that massages can also help manage anxiety and depression by boosting levels of the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine.

 

  • Strengthen Your Immune System:

After seeing that massages both helps improve sleep and alleviates stress it’s a simple formula to say that these two things added together will automatically strengthen your immune system.

 

  • Lowering Blood Pressure:

There is evidence that stress contributes to high blood pressure, and that reducing stress can lower blood pressure. Massage is a great way to reduce stress, and can also help lower blood pressure and increase blood flow.
