When chiropractic care is used in conjunction with massage therapy, both treatments work together to create a harmonious effect, resulting in a much faster recovery time for the patient. When muscle tissue becomes more relaxed through massage, it allows the Chiropractor to realign joints that were previously restricted. Massage can also assist your body in maintaining spinal alignment and chiropractic manipulations by encouraging your muscles to allow for the change in your structural position. It is especially effective for those patents with muscle spasms and soft tissue injuries.
