Massage Q&A
How is massage used in chiropractic care?
Chiropractors can use massage in a variety of ways. First, they can use it in coordination with traditional chiropractic adjustments and manipulations. Therapeutic massage before adjustments softens and relaxes the muscles, making them adjust better to realign the spine. Massage also increases the muscle’s ability to retain the correct spine alignment.
Therapeutic massage can also improve circulation, improving the flow of oxygen and other nutrients. That can assist with healing and improve recovery rate. What’s more, Dr. Goldstein may use massage as its own form of treatment. By using his hands as tools, he can manipulate muscles to relax them, reducing pain and stopping spasms.
What’s the benefit of combining therapeutic massage and chiropractic care?
When you combine therapeutic massage with chiropractic care, you heal faster and may even experience better results. Chiropractic patients who receive massages have quicker recovery times as the combination encourages the body to heal itself.Dr. Goldstein may use massage to improve mobility and flexibility, allowing the muscles and joints to work more effectively. He may also recommend it to help muscles relax and to reduce overall stress. This decreases the body’s stress hormone and increases the release of endorphins, the body’s natural pain reliever.

Lastly, therapeutic massage may make the results of your chiropractic alignment last longer. After a massage, the muscles are softer and relaxed, and they are more accepting of movements and spinal manipulation. These muscles are also more likely to hold the realignment in place, stabilizing the spine.
