Massage Therapy for Auto Accident Injuries

There are many forms of massage that focus on relaxation and stress relief, which do indeed contribute to overall health and wellness. But in the case of an auto accident injury, therapeutic massage is an important part of recovery. All of our therapists are Licensed Massage Practitioners with a therapeutic focus in their training. They work with our doctors to co-manage each case, maximizing therapeutic benefits of tandem treatment, accelerating recovery time.

While chiropractic care encompasses the whole musculoskeletal system, focusing on the health of your bones, spine, joints, and soft tissue, massage therapy focuses solely on your muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Massage therapy can speed recovery by treating the muscle and tissue that were affected by misaligned bones and joints or strained from the same incident that misaligned the bones and joints. In other words, while chiropractors will often do some work on soft tissues, massage therapists will not work on your spine or joints.

What Is Therapeutic Massage?

Therapeutic massage is a form of massage that focuses on correcting conditions related to injury, strain or trauma. While relaxation massages, like those you’d find at a spa, are great for relieving muscle tension, encouraging circulation, and inducing feelings of euphoria, a therapeutic massage is much different. Though therapeutic massages can also relieve tension and help you feel relaxed and euphoric, advanced techniques are used to treat targeted problem areas, such as strained or injured areas. These advanced techniques help alleviate pain and prevent chronic health issues when combined with chiropractic care.

Our Licensed Massage Practitioners work closely with our chiropractors to provide the appropriate and necessary treatment for each auto accident injury, which alleviates pain, speeds recovery time and prevents the onset of chronic conditions.
