Massage Therapy
Most people agree having a massage feels great, but an increase in research has also shown its widespread health benefits. Massage treatments are designed to aid the body’s own defence and immune systems to improve on their function. In short, massage helps your body help itself. Through the manipulation of soft tissue, lymphatic drainage, and the use of hydrotherapy, massage treatments can: increase the length & quality of sleep; help with pain management; increase relaxation; decrease stress; and improve circulation, all aiding in your natural defence & healing mechanisms allowing the body to repair itself.
Long-standing spinal issues are also accompanied by deep-rooted muscle patterns. Muscle spasms and scar tissue are often present. By adding massage therapy to your chiropractic care, we can address these muscle and soft tissue problems. This approach can help accelerate your recovery and retrain your spine.
Massage techniques are very effective in treating general stress reduction and relaxation, but can also be extremely effective in treating various other musculoskeletal conditions such as:
- General muscle pain
- General muscle tension
- Headaches and migraines
- Posture or structural issues
- Ligament sprains and muscle strains
- Muscle spasms
- Sleep pattern improvement
- Constipation
- Nerve compression syndrome
- Mood disorders (ex: stress, anxiety, depression)
- Arthritis
- Repetitive Strain Injuries
- Chronic pain syndrome/Fibromyalgia
- Tendonitis/Tendonosis
- Swelling and chronic inflammation
- Trauma physical/emotional
Massage Therapy – Specialty treatments
Lymphatic massage treatment
Lymphatic treatments are geared towards the reduction or elimination of swelling, therefore improving circulation and decreasing pain. Lymphatic massage is a non-invasive treatment that can be used for almost any patient, excluding those with unstable or untreated blood pressure problems, recent heart attacks, fever, infections and sepsis (septicemia/blood poisoning).
Lymph is a fluid that, among other things, collects and contains waste as it circulates throughout the body. These waste products are eventually delivered to lymph nodes (bean sized “cleaners”) for removal from the body. Chronic swelling and discomfort can occur when there is a back up of lymph fluid (lymphedema) or stagnation of fluid from a variety of causes such as, inflammation, removal of nodes in cancer screening and decreased physical activity.
Pregnancy massage treatment
Treatments during pregnancy typically focus on those conditions related to the dramatic physical and hormonal changes such as the low back pain associated with pregnancy, pain from the compression of nerves (like sciatic nerve pain) occurring with postural changes, general fatigue, joint and muscle pain, and muscle cramps.
