What Pains Can a Chiropractic Massage Relieve?

Much like regular massages, chiropractic massages help relieve a buildup of tension in the body by improving blood flow and relaxing the soft tissue. The treatments can help reduce swelling and treat several conditions.

Back Pain

Chiropractic massage can help improve the blood flow around the spine. Back pain can result from damaged muscle fibers in the back or misaligned vertebrae. If your posture is suffering from back pains, a massage will provide blood flow to the affected areas.
A massage will also help reduce the tension in your back's long muscles, allowing the fascia fibers to slide along each other easily and reduce further tension. Once you've gotten your chiropractic adjustment, a massage will speed up healing and minimize discomfort.

Headaches

Pressure in your back and neck can cause headaches or migraines. A significant cause of headaches is tightened muscles in the neck and upper spine. Tense muscles can restrict blood flow to the head and irritate nerves causing excruciating pain.
A massage loosens those muscles and provides adequate blood flow to the head and neck while receiving pressure on the nerves. You'll feel relief of discomfort after an adjustment has been made.

Joint Pain

Older adults and adults with sports injuries will often have lingering joint pain. This can make it hard to fulfill daily activities such as walking, sitting down, standing up, and bending down. With a chiropractic adjustment, you'll regain proper joint position and support.

Followed by a massage, this treatment will reduce swelling surrounding muscle tissue, improve blood flow to affected limbs, and provide significant pain relief. Additionally, your muscles and joints will become more active and limber, which helps prevent substantial injuries.
