I Need a Massage!

Exercise and fitness image.

You went to the gym, and now every muscle in your body hurts and you’re just aching to get a massage, but it seems like such an extravagance in terms of money and time. Yet, many different activities make up a good wellness routine and massage is just one of those elements in addition to nutrition, exercise and chiropractic care. So there's no need to feel guilty when you call to schedule that massage!

Physical, mental and emotional health benefits of massage:

  • Massage improves the circulation of oxygen-carrying blood to the extremities and helps eliminate wastes from the body

  • Massage relaxes you, relieves stress and anxiety, and supports feelings of general well-being

  • Massage works with your chiropractic care to retrain muscles that support your spine

  • Massage helps in managing the pain associated with certain physical conditions, such as arthritis and sciatica

  • Massage serves to either stimulate or relax the nervous system, depending on the type of massage being administered

Just keep in mind that a massage is not a substitute for chiropractic care! Although the two may work in conjunction with one another, massage provides “feel good” therapy while chiropractic adjustments keep your nervous system functioning properly. That’s far more important than a temporary “feel good” luxury!

What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
What is the purpose of pain?
Pain prompts many North Houston folks to begin chiropractic care. But pain isn't the problem! Pain is just how your body alerts you that a limit has been reached (or exceeded), that something isn't working right and that some type of change is needed. As a chiropractor, my job is finding the underlying cause and recommending the changes needed to bring your body back into balance.
