How Massage Therapy Works

Massage Therapy at Complete Health Chiropractic Center

Massage is an effective treatment for anyone pursuing holistic health and well-being. Professional massage therapy works by relaxing soft tissue and increasing blood and lymph circulation. This releases nerve tension and initiates healing in deeper connective tissue, as well as the surface muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

When used as an accompaniment to chiropractic adjustments, massage can support the treatment by relaxing muscles that were holding vertebrae out of place and thereby further assisting the nervous system’s proper function.

Our massage therapists in Oregon City have helped countless individuals relieve pain, increase circulation, and improve overall well-being through trusted techniques and practices. With our help, you can experience a better quality of life and reduce physical pain and discomfort.

Benefits of Massage Therapy

There are several benefits you may experience when you incorporate massage therapy into your wellness routine. Our patients most often note the following benefits described below after working with our massage therapists.

Relief from Stress & Tension

Everyone can benefit from practices that ultimately reduce stress and melt away tension. Massage therapy is one of the best ways you can relieve the stress of daily life or physical stressors that have been compounding for months or even years. Stress in one’s shoulders, neck, back, and other areas of the body can be reduced significantly with help from our experts.

Massage is also one of the most common and timeless techniques used to ease anxiety, depression, and other mental and emotional ailments. In 2014, an evaluation of nine separate studies concluded that at least five weeks of consecutive massage therapy is effective for reducing pain, anxiety, and depression.

Improved Circulation

A lot of our patients come into Complete Health Chiropractic Center for services that will help improve their circulation. Poor circulation can lead to numbness or tingling in one’s extremities, swelling, cold hands or feet, fatigue, digestive complaints, joint pain, and muscle cramping. With assistance from our experienced massage therapists, we help increase circulation and blood flow in our patients so they can live life to the fullest.

A study from the University of Illinois in Chicago in 2014 found that massage therapy improves general blood flow and alleviates muscle soreness after physical activity. According to their results, massage therapy is beneficial for not just athletes, but also those with limited mobility or impaired vascular function.

Lower Blood Pressure

The two most concerning problems that can present themselves as a result of high blood pressure are strokes and heart attacks. Whether genetics, poor diet, or other causes have contributed to high blood pressure, the good news is, our massage therapy services in Oregon City can help.

According to research presented in the International Journal of Preventive Medicine, individuals with high blood pressure showed significant improvement in their blood pressure readings after receiving massage services of some kind compared to a control group that received no therapeutic interventions. Additionally, those in the massage group of the study showed steady improvements in the blood pressure for up to 72 hours after receiving massage services.

Faster Recovery from Injury & Accidents

After an injury or auto accident, your body may feel fine the day of or the day after the accident. This is especially true for car accident victims experiencing the side effects of whiplash. Once the pain settles in from an accident, you may have a more difficult time trying to recover than you initially thought. Luckily, massage therapy is a great way to heal the physical trauma caused by accident or injury.

We use a variety of therapeutic techniques to help our patients overcome and recover from whiplash. Massage therapy is a proven treatment for muscle and ligament damage that has been caused by whiplash. With help from our massage therapists at Complete Health Chiropractic Center in Oregon City, you can recover from your accident or injury and get back on with your life quickly.

Different Types of Massage

With our Oregon City massage therapists here to see you through all stages of physical recovery, you can count on experiencing relief from your symptoms as soon as you start working with us. To ensure that all of our clients receive individualized care for their pain and ailments, our therapists use several proven massage techniques including deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release.

Deep Tissue Massage

As one of the most popular massage techniques, deep tissue massages break up scar tissue, remove painful muscle knots, promote a better range of motion, and improve circulation. For this technique, our therapists apply both light and deep pressure to sore muscles using their fingertips, knuckles, palms, forearms, and elbows.

Deep tissue massage is great for problem areas in the body, such as one’s shoulders or back. With slow, deliberate strokes, the muscles, tendons, and deeper layers of tissue under the skin are relieved of tension and pain.

Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger point therapy is a technique used to identify and treat particular areas of pain in the body via trigger points. A trigger point refers to an area within one’s muscle tissue that causes pain somewhere else in the body. For example, pain originating in your back may cause pain in other parts of your body, such as your neck or shoulder.

With trigger point therapy, our massage therapists isolate specific trigger points and use cycles of pressure and release to help you achieve pain relief. For a few seconds, each identified trigger point is held and then released. This type of treatment is not equatable to a typical spa massage. You can expect this kind of treatment to be uncomfortable at times, but to ultimately treat the underlying condition that is causing your pain.

Myofascial Release

Myofascial release is similar to trigger point therapy, except it focuses on the myofascial connective tissue. Myofascial tissue is a thin tissue that is found throughout the body. It provides support and protection for both your muscles and bones. This type of tissue is made up of collagen and elastin fibers that are both flexible and strong.

During a myofascial release session with one of our experts, you can expect painful pressure to be released from your muscles and tendons. Your massage therapist will use gentle, pointed pressure on specific areas of your body. These various points are held for several minutes to allow the deepest layers of the fascial tissue to release and relax.
