Lower Back Pain
Lower back pain is one of the most common and debilitating conditions, affecting millions of people worldwide. Causes range from muscle strain and poor posture to disc issues and nerve compression. If you’re experiencing persistent or severe pain in your lower back, it can impact your daily activities, work, and overall quality of life.
How Chiropractic Care and Medical Massage Therapy Work Together
Chiropractic Care: Chiropractic adjustments focus on spinal alignment, targeting areas where joints may be out of alignment or restricted. For lower back pain, chiropractic care can relieve pressure on nerves, reduce inflammation, and restore spinal function, leading to pain relief and improved mobility.
Medical Massage Therapy: Massage therapy complements chiropractic adjustments by addressing the muscular component of lower back pain. Techniques such as deep tissue and myofascial release reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and support recovery, creating a foundation for long-lasting relief.
Combined Benefits: Together, chiropractic care and medical massage therapy offer a holistic approach to pain relief. Chiropractic addresses structural alignment, while massage therapy eases muscle tightness. This dual approach allows for faster healing, comprehensive pain management, and a better range of motion.
