I Need a Massage!

Exercise and fitness image.

You went to the gym, and now every muscle in your body hurts and you’re just aching to get a massage, but it seems like such an extravagance in terms of money and time. Yet, many different activities make up a good wellness routine and massage is just one of those elements in addition to nutrition, exercise and chiropractic care. So there's no need to feel guilty when you call to schedule that massage!

Physical, mental and emotional health benefits of massage:

  • Massage improves the circulation of oxygen-carrying blood to the extremities and helps eliminate wastes from the body

  • Massage relaxes you, relieves stress and anxiety, and supports feelings of general well-being

  • Massage works with your chiropractic care to retrain muscles that support your spine

  • Massage helps in managing the pain associated with certain physical conditions, such as arthritis and sciatica

  • Massage serves to either stimulate or relax the nervous system, depending on the type of massage being administered

Just keep in mind that a massage is not a substitute for chiropractic care! Although the two may work in conjunction with one another, massage provides “feel good” therapy while chiropractic adjustments keep your nervous system functioning properly. That’s far more important than a temporary “feel good” luxury!

How long does it take to form a bone spur?
Many who begin chiropractic care think their problem happened "last week when you bent over funny." But pictures of the spine tell a different story. Chiropractors know it can take your body years to deposit the calcium necessary to form a bone spur. It's your body's response to stress due to gravity or joint malfunction. And chiropractic care can help.
Are aches and pains good or bad?
While aches or pains may be unpleasant, they're merely warning signs. As a Round Rock chiropractor, I see this all the time. The pain is not the problem! It just means a limitation has been reached and something needs to change. That's when we get to work correcting the underlying cause.
