Therapeutic soft-tissue care
Ease tension and support better movement.
Massage therapy focuses on muscles and other soft tissues. It can be provided as a stand-alone service or used to complement a chiropractic care plan.
A targeted approach
More than a general relaxation massage.
Therapeutic massage uses focused soft-tissue work based on the areas you want to address. Before the session, you can discuss your comfort, current concerns, and goals so the approach can be adjusted to you.
When massage is part of a chiropractic plan, the two services may work together to address joint movement and the surrounding muscle tension.

Treatment FAQs
Clear answers before you book.
Is massage therapy the same as an adjustment?
No. Massage focuses on soft tissue, while an adjustment uses targeted joint movement.
Can massage be used with other care?
It may be combined with other care when the evaluation and plan support that approach.
Should I mention medical conditions or medications?
Yes. Share relevant diagnoses, medications, recent injuries and sensitivities before treatment.
