A man getting massage therapyWhether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or interested in maintaining your wellness, you might consider having both massage therapy and chiropractic care on an ongoing basis. Both of these modalities by themselves can help patients achieve better wellness. When combined, they offer even more impressive benefits. At Cy-Fair HealthCare Associates, our licensed massage therapists, chiropractors, and other practitioners collaborate closely to provide an optimal patient care experience in Houston, TX.

Therapeutic Massage Before Chiropractic Care

You might consider having a therapeutic massage prior to your chiropractic appointment. Your licensed massage therapist in Houston will warm up the muscles and other soft tissues, working out the tension and providing relief of pain and muscle spasms. Looser, warmed up muscles can help chiropractic adjustments be more effective, as it’s sometimes possible for tight muscles to limit the effects of spinal manipulation.

Massage Therapy After Chiropractic Adjustments

It’s also helpful to have therapeutic massage after receiving chiropractic adjustments. Our chiropractors at Cy-Fair HealthCare Associates will manipulate the spine gently to restore its mobility and proper alignment. For optimal, lasting results, it’s important that the muscles around the joint respond to the adjustment properly. Massage therapy can help those muscles relax and avoid restricting the spinal joints.

Compelling Benefits of Combining These Modalities

Whether you have therapeutic massage before or after your chiropractic care—or both—you can look forward to many benefits of combining these two modalities. By treating both the spinal structures and the surrounding soft tissues at the same time, you may enjoy:

  • Better, longer-lasting results
  • More effective pain relief
  • Reduced risk of recurring pain
  • Faster recovery from injuries
  • Enhanced blood circulation, which aids the healing process
  • Better flexibility and range of motion

As an additional benefit, massage therapy is known to aid with stress relief. You may find that after combining therapeutic massage and chiropractic care, you’ll leave the clinic with a calmer mind.
