Massage Therapy at Fourth Avenue Chiropractic & Wellness
Whether you’re seeking pain relief, relaxation or stress reduction, massage therapy can benefit you! This natural modality is appropriate for patients of all ages. Massage therapy is the manipulation of the body’s soft tissue (i.e., the skin, muscles, fascia, tendons and ligaments) using a variety of techniques.
Key Benefits of Massage
Here are some of the most common benefits that you may experience after a session with one of our Licensed Massage Therapists:
- Relaxation
- Improved circulation
- Reduced stress
- Decreased blood pressure
- Improved muscle and joint function
- Reduced joint and muscle pain

How Massage and Chiropractic Complement Each Other
Massage therapy works hand-in-hand with chiropractic care by decreasing the muscle tension in the areas of the body that are affected. When massage is given before an adjustment, the areas of the spine that need to be adjusted are able to move more freely. Following the adjustment, massage can reduce any inflammation and help facilitate the recovery process.
