Massage in the Richmond Chiropractic Treatment Plan

"Ahhhh..." is music to a massage therapist's ear!

Massage therapy is typically thought of for relaxation, however massage therapy can be so much more when combined with chiropractic techniques. Massage therapy administered in the chiropractic office tries to deliver the "Ahhhh..." response as well as more targeted soft tissue and muscle work to relieve tightness and allow the adjustment's realignment of bones and its resulting pain relief to last a bit longer. Massage treatment goes hand-in-hand with the Cox Technic protocols.

What is Massage Therapy?

Complementary to chiropractic care at Johnson Chiropractic with Cox Technic Flexion Distraction and Decompression spinal manipulation, massage therapy is the manual manipulation of the body's soft tissue structures through a variety of methods ranging from relaxing to rehabilitative.
