Every Body Deserves a Massage Week

As part of our Edmonds, WA chiropractic clinic’s holistic approach to wellness and health maintenance, we often recommend complementary services to our Seattle area patients. Massage is an acceptable ancillary treatment for anyone who suffers from chronic pain associated with ongoing health challenges.

Therapeutic massage relieves myriad ailments from tension headaches to arthritic inflammation and low back pain. Massage isn’t just for our patients who are struggling to recover from an injury or manage pain associated with chronic illness. Supplementing chiropractor adjustments with complementary, alternative therapies has many benefits for people who want to maintain their bodies and stay healthier.

The American Massage Therapy Association cites research that shows therapy helps post-operative patients heal faster and cancer patients experience less fatigue associated with treatment. It’s also an effective method for managing hypertension and alleviating alcohol withdrawal symptoms.

Trained therapists understand how the body functions and know which techniques and pressure levels work best for different conditions. For example, deep tissue massage targets specific areas to relieve pain associated with arthritic joints and helps your body achieve a natural internal balance. Studies also show that human touch impacts both psychological and physiological health. Patients report a marked increase in mood elevation and feeling more relaxed, while tests confirm a single session boosts your immune system, enabling the body to naturally resist colds and some infections.
