What is Therapeutic Massage?
- Uses focused pressure and techniques to reduce muscle tightness.
- Improves circulation to support tissue healing and recovery.
- Helps break up adhesions and “knots” that limit flexibility.
- Supports stress reduction and deep relaxation for body and mind.
- Can be tailored for pain relief, recovery, or general wellness.
How Massage Complements Chiropractic Care
Massage therapy complements chiropractic care by preparing the muscles and soft tissues to respond better to adjustments and helping those adjustments hold longer. When tight muscles are relaxed and tension patterns reduced, the spine can move more freely, making chiropractic treatment more effective and comfortable.
- Loosens tight muscles that pull joints and vertebrae out of alignment.
- Reduces post-treatment soreness by easing surrounding tissue stress.
- Enhances range of motion to support better spinal and joint mechanics.
- Promotes relaxation, allowing the nervous system to shift into healing mode.
- Supports long-term results by addressing both soft tissue and joint function.

Got Questions About Massage Therapy? We’re Here to Clear Things Up
How is massage therapy at Wayson Family Chiropractic different from a spa massage?
Massage therapy here is therapeutic and goal-focused, designed to reduce pain, correct muscle imbalance, and support your treatment plan rather than just provide general relaxation. Each session is tailored to specific problem areas discussed with your chiropractor and therapist.
Do I need to be a chiropractic patient to schedule a massage?
You do not have to be an existing chiropractic patient to schedule massage therapy, but combining both often leads to better and longer-lasting results. If you’re new, the team can recommend whether a brief chiropractic evaluation would further enhance your massage outcomes.
What conditions can massage therapy help with?
Massage can help with muscle tension, stress, headaches, neck and back pain, sports-related soreness, and restricted range of motion. It is also helpful for managing chronic conditions by improving circulation and decreasing tightness around affected joints.
Should I schedule my massage before or after an adjustment?
Many patients benefit from massage before an adjustment to relax tight muscles, making spinal corrections easier and more comfortable. Others prefer massage after to help the body integrate the adjustment and reduce any residual soreness your chiropractor can advise what’s best for you.
How often should I get massage therapy?
Frequency depends on your goals and condition: acute pain or injury may call for weekly sessions at first, while maintenance and stress relief might be best served with appointments every 3–4 weeks. Your massage therapist and chiropractor can help you build a schedule that fits your needs and budget.
