Massage Therapy and Chiropractic Care Can Relieve Neuromuscular Pain
As you age, your risk of neuromuscular pain increases. If you are interested in conservative, all-natural, and drug-free options for pain relief, you should consider a combination of massage therapy and chiropractic care. At Venice Spine and Disc, our chiropractor Dr. Michael Grocholski and our licensed massage therapist Chrissy Stites can design a personalized treatment plan that includes chiropractic care and massage therapy in Venice, FL.
What Is Neuromuscular Pain?
Neuromuscular pain is pain that originates from the interaction between nerves and muscles. This type of pain typically occurs along with symptoms like:
- Muscle weakness
- Muscle aches and pains
- Muscle fatigue
- Muscle twitches and cramps
- Muscle numbness and tingling
- Muscle tension
- Trouble standing, walking, and holding objects
These symptoms occur when the nerves connected to your muscles are damaged, irritated, or compressed. The most causes of neuromuscular pain are:
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Radiculopathy of the spine
- Spinal cord compression
- Age-related spine, disc, or joint degeneration
- Spinal stenosis
- Sciatica
How Massage Therapy and Chiropractic Care Can Help
Massage therapy and chiropractic care are both safe, gentle, non-invasive therapies. They promote natural healing processes in the body that can relieve pain, stimulate muscle and nerve regeneration, and improve range of motion and mobility. Combining both treatment methods can:
- Relieve muscle tension, soreness, and pain
- Reduce muscle twitches and spasms
- Address spinal misalignments and dysfunction
- Improve posture and balance
- Restore range of motion and mobility
- Improve circulation and reduce inflammation
- Relieve pressure on muscles and nerves
- Reduce the risk of chronic pain
- Improve your immune system
- Relieve stress and anxiety
Benefits of Combining the Two Therapies
Combining massage therapy and chiropractic care can make each treatment option more effective at treating the underlying cause of your neuromuscular pain. Getting a neuromuscular massage before you get chiropractic care will reduce muscle tension, which can make chiropractic adjustments more effective. When your body is relaxed, it is more receptive to adjustments and the results of your adjustments may last longer
Getting a massage after a chiropractic adjustment can reduce your risk of pain or discomfort and help your body better adjust to the new positions of your spinal structures and joints. While tight or tense muscles could restrict joint and spine movement, relaxed muscles can better support mobility and accelerate spine, muscle, and joint healing.
