Massage was at one time a luxury treatment found at spas and salons. Today, its benefits extend into mainstream medical centers, corporate offices and chiropractic offices.

Theres a good reason for this. Taking care of soft tissue problems before they domino into more pain and discomfort just makes sense, and massage treats these issues where they often begin: in muscle tissue.

Even if you are undergoing spinal adjustment therapy for spinal subluxation, the problem is only partially treated if the adjoining muscle tissue isnt treated. Muscles that remain tight will undo the work your chiropractor has done to realign your vertebrae.

 

Benefits
