As a Brentwood chiropractor, Premier Family Chiropractic continually strives to include other non-invasive techniques in our wellness care plans. One of these methods is massage therapy. In fact, Dr. Quinn W. Uzelman regularly refers adjustment patients to our massage therapists for continued care.

While most people think of massage as a ritzy spa treatment, it is actually much more than that. Massage can be used to treat back pain, neck pain, fibromyalgia (chronic pain), chronic headaches, stress, and more.

How Massage Works and the Benefits

Although massage has been around for thousands of years, we are really seeing the benefits in conjunction with modern chiropractic care. Premier Family Chiropractic is licensed and trained to administer massage therapy as a complement to chiropractic care. We are also knowledgeable on which types of massage to pair with what injury and/or back pain symptoms a patient is experiencing allowing for maximum benefits.

The three most common types of massage utilized in our clinic are relaxation massage, deep tissue massage, and holistic massage. Each of these varieties incorporates a different style of movement and pressure, but all focus on various muscle groups to help reduce lactic acid buildup that causes most people problems.

Healing touch can also provide many other benefits besides pain relief. We have had several patients report a decrease in anxiety, decrease is stress related tension, a lowering of blood pressure, increased range of movement, and other amazing results after a few massage sessions at our clinic. Even patients who are not experiencing any form of pain continue massage with our clinic to improve their overall health.
