How Does Combining Massage Therapy and Chiropractic Care Help Me?

Here at Skocik Chiropractic, located in Harrisburg, PA, we believe the soft tissues play an important role in overall musculoskeletal health. Muscles and ligaments are under great strain every day to support the body’s frame and mobility. By offering massage therapy as a part of our practice, we have the privilege of providing our patients with total body care and a wide range of benefits.

Pain Relief

For many of our patients, relief from chronic pain is the first goal of a chiropractic treatment plan. Massage has been shown highly effective for many different types of discomfort, including neck, back and osteoarthritis pain. Not only does massage loosen tense and tired muscles, but it can also improve the flexibility and motion range of injured and inflamed muscles and ligaments.

Faster Healing

When combined with chiropractic, massage can expedite the healing period a person experiences after being injured in the workplace, a car wreck, or other accident. Looser muscles make chiropractic adjustments easier and more successful. In addition, massage increases the flow of blood and oxygen to injured tissues, reducing inflammation and facilitating a quicker recovery.

Long Term Wellness

We believe the synergistic benefits of massage and chiropractic extend far beyond pain and injuries. In fact, we recommend massage as a part of a long-term wellness plan, as it has been shown to lower stress, reduce anxiety and prevent depression. Massage also has mood-boosting benefits that can help patients feel more in control of their health and more inclined to make positive choices that affect overall wellness.
