Raleigh Chiropractic Office Offers Massage Therapy Options For Pain Relief

By Earlene Silversmith


Making an appointment to see a chiropractor is a wise decision. The purpose is to alleviate the pain caused by injury or disability. The first office visit consists of recording a medical history. Cause, intensity and duration of the pain will be considered. This leading Raleigh Chiropractor will complete a physical exam.

The exam will entail palpating the spinal column, testing your range of motion and reflexes. An x-ray may be needed. Sometimes an MRI is added to provide the clearest possible view of any soft tissue damage.

Only after a thorough assessment can the optimal care plan be devised. It may include a combination of spinal adjustments and massage. Massage is known for the benefits to the entire back and especially when there is soft tissue damage.

It works by easing the pain in a variety of ways. Circulation is improved as tension is dissipated. It helps the joints to become more flexible and increases your range of motion capabilities.

Massage can reduce swelling and promote a faster recovery from the injury. The chiropractic practice may have someone on staff qualified to administer this kind of massage. Alternatively, it is administered by the chiropractor.

There are two levels of certification and one of licensing available following the requisite education. National Certification Examinations qualify the individual after the courses. Passing the licensing exam qualifies an individual to administer massage at the highest level.

After your condition is assessed, the optimal care plan is determined. It is rare for two care plans to be alike, even though two people may suffer the same injury. Each person has specific needs and care is provided accordingly. You can expect to feel relief after three appointments or it may take a little longer.

A modest individual may keep her or his undergarments on during the massage. Your emotional needs are considered as well as your physical ones. Your comfort as you undergo pain alleviation is of the utmost importance as is your return to a good quality of life.
