Connected Chiropractic's Use of Massage

Massage therapy is typically thought of for relaxation, however massage treatment can be so much more when tied together with chiropractic techniques. Massage therapy conducted in the chiropractic office goes for the "Ahhhh..." response as well as more specific soft tissue and muscle work to relieve tightness and allow the adjustment's realignment of bones and its subsequent pain relief to last a bit longer. Massage treatment stays right in line with the Cox Technic protocols.

What is Massage Therapy?

Complementary to chiropractic care at Connected Chiropractic with Cox Technic Flexion Distraction and Decompression spinal manipulation, massage therapy is the manual manipulation of the body's soft tissue structures through a variety of methods ranging from relaxing to rehabilitative. Soft tissues include muscle, skin, tendons, fascia, ligaments and joint capsules. These are often involved when the spine and extremities are in pain.

With massage therapy, function, flexibility and overall circulation of the soft tissues increase.
