Massage therapy is one of the many services offered from our Boise chiropractor and his staff. Massage therapy is an important companion to chiropractic care.  While chiropractors deal with the nervous system providing vertebral alignments and lining up other joints, massage therapists work on the muscular skeletal system by relaxing tense muscles and working the deep tissues to help heal tissue damage.  

Massage can extend the benefits of chiropractic adjustment by decreasing muscle tension and increasing flexibility.  Chiropractic adjustment can also extend the benefits of massage by providing long lasting pain relief instead of the temporary relief from just massage alone.  Massage and chiropractic care together provides pain relief, improves healing and muscle relaxation as well as reduces stress.

Massage Therapy Has Many Advantages

Massage is not just for relieving neck and back pain. It has many other benefits including a positive impact on the circulatory system.  The circulatory system affects every system in the body so when blood is flowing properly and carrying oxygen to vital organs different parts of the body it is increasing the body’s ability to heal and regenerate.

Another advantage of massage therapy is that it is an effective treatment for chronic headaches; massage can often replace the need for oral medication.
