Massage therapy complements chiropractic care
Massage therapy has a profound effect on your body’s nervous system and is an extremely effective complement to chiropractic care. When it activates your body’s parasympathetic nervous system, it counteracts your body’s negative response to stress, relaxes muscle tension and allows your heart rate, blood pressure and circulation to return to normal.
Massage therapy helps you become more aware of your body and your unconsciously held tension. It also supports chiropractic adjustments by addressing the muscular component of your alignment issue, allowing for a longer lasting adjustment and extended relief.
