Deep tissue massage and chiropractic work well together it is not always one or the other.

We recently had a patient in the chiropractic clinic that trapped a nerve in their neck and needed a mix of treatments from the Chiropractor and deep tissue massage.  Through the first stages of the injury the patient shoulder and neck muscles had gone into spasm and proved to be too tender to receive a chiropractic manipulation. Deep tissue massage alternatively could be familiar with loosen from the muscle spasm allowing the region to wind down. The tenderness across the shoulder and neck decreased after receiving several massage treatments. The individual ended up being in a position to receive chiropractic manipulation to complete the treatment programme therefore regaining full range of motion without pain that helps and to prevent re-occurrences from the injury.

When asked which treatment methods are better deep tissue massage or manipulation with a chiropractor then the answer then is neither as both treatments put in place the procedure and repair off musculoskeletal health.

A lot of people believe most chiropractors just offer manipulation. We presume it is important to treat each complaint while using best researched answer to that specific case, in lieu of practising only that which you are comfy with or exactly what a particular clinic offers. It really is that is why we help GP, physiotherapists, sports masseurs and also cranio sacral therapists. We do this to ensure that each person gets the most appropriate maintain their complaint. As practitioners we’re constantly developing our skills, learning new techniques and researching alternative therapies.

Deep tissue massage is designed treat the soft tissues of the body including muscles and connective tissue (ligaments and tendons). Using such techniques as trigger pointing. Pressure is applied to increase blood flow to the injury to reduce pain and inflammation
