4 Facts to Know About Chiropractic Massage
Wondering if chiropractic massage is right for you? Dr. Janssen and our team at Affordable Chiropractic in Green Bay, WI share four important facts to help you decide.
1. Its Focus Is Different From Traditional Massage
If you’ve ever had a traditional massage, you know that the goals involve relieving tension and stress. This, of course, is something we can all use, but chiropractic massage is a bit different. While you definitely can enjoy stress relief, the goal of chiropractic massage therapy is to correct issues within the musculoskeletal system.
2. It Enhances the Results of Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic massage is typically performed prior to or during chiropractic adjustments. When completed prior to adjustments, it can help loosen up the entire body, making it more susceptible to the adjustment.
Sometimes, though, massage techniques are used during adjustments when a troubled spot is located. In both cases, it optimizes the results of the adjustments, as the body is less tense and can be more easily manipulated.
3. It Can Treat Various Conditions and Symptoms
Chiropractic massage is used to treat a variety of issues, including but not limited to:
- Spinal misalignment
- Neck pain
- Shoulder pain
- Back pain
- Headaches
- Joint pain
- Sports injuries
- Car accident injuries
- Pinched nerves
- Herniated discs
- SI joint issues
- Sleep disorders
- Diabetes and high blood pressure
- Fibromyalgia
- TMJ pain
Massage therapy is typically combined with other methods that effectively treat such conditions in order to achieve the most optimal results. The combination of methods used depends on your needs, your symptoms, and your level of comfort.
4. It Provides Many Additional Benefits
In addition to pain relief and muscle relaxation, chiropractic massage can provide the following benefits:
- Improved posture
- Improved flexibility
- Increased range of motion
- More restful sleep
- Improved mood
- Improved general health
- Prevention of injuries

Though relaxation is not the focus of chiropractic massage, patients tend to feel more relaxed and energized.
