Chiropractic Massage
Finding the Right Massage Therapy in Central Oregon
With massage clinics popping up throughout Central Oregon, it’s essential to determine whether you’re seeking a relaxation massage or a more targeted, therapeutic massage. At Wellness Doctor in Bend, we specialize in therapeutic deep tissue work designed to address the unique needs of our active community. From Myofascial Release and Trigger Point Therapy to advanced therapeutic techniques, our therapists focus on the treatment and prevention of sports and occupational injuries.
The Therapeutic Advantage
Unlike relaxation-focused massage, our therapeutic sessions aim to identify and treat the root cause of pain and dysfunction. For many patients, this includes working collaboratively with a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician for a comprehensive biomechanical evaluation and treatment plan.
Combining Chiropractic adjustments with massage therapy creates superior outcomes by addressing both the soft tissues and the underlying joint mechanics:
- Deep tissue massage and active stretching release muscle tension and improve flexibility.
- Chiropractic adjustments restore motion at the joint level, reducing stress on surrounding muscles and enhancing overall mobility.
Why Chiropractic and Massage Work Together
When joint motion is restricted—whether in the spine, foot, or elbow—muscles often overcompensate to achieve the desired movement. Over time, this can lead to muscle tightness, discomfort, or injury. By restoring joint mobility, Chiropractic adjustments reduce this strain and allow muscles to function more efficiently.
During an adjustment, the audible “pop” or cavitation you hear is caused by the release of gas within the joint space. This creates additional space within the joint, allowing for greater mobility and reducing tension in the surrounding muscles.
Enhancing Results with Post-Treatment Exercises
To optimize the benefits of therapeutic massage and chiropractic care, we often prescribe therapeutic exercises to address postural imbalances and improve biomechanics. These exercises, performed after muscle tension and joint restrictions are corrected, help solidify the treatment’s effects and prevent future issues.
Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or seeking to improve athletic performance, our Bend-based clinic offers personalized care to help you achieve your health goals. Massage therapy combined with chiropractic care is the key to unlocking better mobility, reduced pain, and enhanced overall function. Chiropractic Massage is your key to unlocking tension.
