Massage in the Richmond Chiropractic Treatment Plan

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

Massage therapy is usually thought of for relaxation, however massage therapy can be so much more when combined with chiropractic techniques. Massage treatment provided in the chiropractic office goes for 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 longer. Massage therapy 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 techniques ranging from relaxing to rehabilitative. Soft tissues include muscle, skin, tendons, fascia, ligaments and joint capsules. These are often involved when the spine and extremities are in pain.

With massage therapy, function, flexibility and overall circulation of the soft tissues increase.
