Since massage therapy is good for the nervous system it is usually done before chiropractic treatments are given. The adjustments are much more effective this way. Sometimes the body can be so stiff that it resists the adjustments. When it becomes relaxed through massage though, it allows the doctor of chiropractic to more easily realign various parts of it. Chiropractic treatment is useful for treating people that are under constant physical and/or mental stress. Massage therapy is part of this treatment because of its beneficial effects. A person can be healthy in every other way, but have physical pain caused by tightness and stress. Through massage and chiropractic techniques they can be helped. The massage when used with chiropractic treatments, is also good for physical injuries such as those that happen in car accidents. Also injuries can occur from sports, gardening, or a variety of other activities. The immune system is stimulated by massage and chiropractic treatments along with blood circulation. By doing massage you are using the body’s natural energy to heal itself.
