How Chiropractic and Massage Work
A chiropractic adjustment, reduces joint restrictions or misalignments in the spine and other joints in the body, in an effort to reduce inflammation and pain while improving function of both the affected joint and nervous system. The treatment itself is a highly-controlled procedure that uses minimal force and gentle pressure. Patients typically feel relief immediately after an adjustment.
Meanwhile, massage works the tendons and the muscles of the body. A skilled masseuse uses techniques to manipulate the muscles and tendons that are affected by inflammation or pain.
The muscles function through coordinated movements and timing because of messaging they receive from the nervous system, via the spinal cord. By reducing inflammation and restriction in both the muscles and the nervous system, it allows for optimal function and communication throughout the body. That’s why regular massage therapy and routine chiropractic care make the up perfect combo for wellness.
This is why I always say massage and chiropractic are better together 😊 and I highly recommend Miller Chiropractic-Mobile Animal Chiropractic for chiropractic adjustments for your equine partner.
