Massage Therapy

Massage Therapy in our Kansas City office.

Massage is a natural method by which minor aches and pains can be soothed away while bringing relief from stress, tension, and fatigue. The effects of massage differ from one client to another depending on the needs of the individual and the goals and intentions with which the massage is administered. Many healthy people believe that frequent massage helps them to remain physically, mentally, and emotionally fit.

Therapeutic effects of massage include general relaxation, increased metabolism through improved circulation; an injury heals more quickly, and improves the detoxifying functions of the lymphatic system.

Massage therapy compliments chiropractic care by relaxing tense muscles that are aggravating subluxations.  Chiropractic care corrects the spine and restores the nervous system. When combining massage therapy with chiropractic care, most people get faster and longer lasting results.

We have a wonderful team of nationally certified therapists that are well qualified to perform deep tissue, Swedish, sports injury, hot stone, prenatal, lymphatic drainage and myofascial release massage therapy.

Can someone who has had back surgery receive chiropractic care?
Yes. Rest assured that we will avoid the surgically modified areas of your spine. However, what we find is that surgical interventions will often produce spinal instability above or below the involved level. This is will be the focus of your chiropractic care.
What's the difference between chiropractic and medicine?
Medical treatment focuses on the disease or the symptom. Chiropractic focuses on the person with the disease or the symptom. Medical treatment usually involves changing blood chemistry. Chiropractic involves restoring nervous system integrity. Medical doctors prescribe medicine. Chiropractors adjust the spine—a common source of nervous system interference.
