Chiropractic Massage Therapy

Melbourne Chiro Clinic offers chiropractic massage therapy either as a standalone service or alongside your chiropractic treatment. Our chiropractic massage therapy can help to enhance the results of your adjustment, promote faster healing, reduce stress levels, and promote endorphin release – all of which help to encourage better well being in general.

Other benefits include:

• Relieving muscle tension
• Reducing stress levels
• Reducing muscular pain and joint stiffness
• Improving blood circulation
• Aiding recovery following an injury (like a strain or sprain)
• Stimulating the lymphatic system
• Boosting the immune system
• Promoting better health and comfort during pregnancy (decreasing swelling, improving flexibility, etc.)

Chiropractic massage can also be used as a reparative therapy for a range of injuries and imbalances, including injuries to tendons and ligaments, hamstring and groin injuries, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, cartilage damage, and plantar fasciitis (heel pain). Many of these injuries are caused by sports, making chiropractic massage a popular choice among athletes. Other times, these injuries can be a result of day-to-day stresses, strains and tension, meaning anyone can benefit from our treatments.

Why Combine Chiropractic and Massage Therapy?

Sometimes, your therapist might recommend undertaking both chiropractic treatment and massage therapy to enhance your healing process – sometimes even on the same day. You may find yourself wondering why.

Chiropractors are able to work with your joints and spine to ease back and neck pain as well as treat sports injuries and repetitive strain injuries. Using their adjustment techniques, they can relieve pain and promote a better well being, boosting overall health. Similarly, massage therapists use a mixture of pressing and rubbing of muscles to relieve muscular pain often caused by stress or sports injuries to promote better health.

Combining the techniques provides you with a better treatment, a better understanding of how muscles and joints interact, and a better chance of improving your health. It also gives your practitioners more flexibility in making adjustments. Sometimes, joint and spinal misalignments are caused by tightness in muscles, soft tissue or ligaments, which pulls on the joints and causes pain. It can be difficult to find the source of this type of pain. Fortunately, massage therapy can relax muscles and lessen tightness, stopping the muscles from tugging on the joints and making it easier for your chiropractor to make adjustments.
