Complementary Health Care  

Local massage is often used in preparation for an adjustment. Massage relieves muscle tension and warms up the soft tissues in the area, making joints more pliable and more easily adjusted.

   A general massage (1/2 to 1 hour) can also be good preparation for an adjustment. In addition to preparing the immediate area of concern, it helps you relax overall and become more receptive to other hands-on treatment.

   Some patients find that massage after an adjustment to be more beneficial. This is often a personal preference. In any case, with regular therapeutic massage, chiropractic adjustments may last longer.
