Chiropractic and Massage Together

Massage therapy is not always a part of Chiropractic care. Remedial or sports massage therapy is a separate modality to Chiropractic care primarily aimed at soft tissue complaints. Chiropractors traditionally focus on joints, particularly of the spine, to relieve pain, reduce stiffness and improve function.  At Metro Chiropractic Clinic, we combine these two options to provide better patient healthcare outcomes.

While massage is mainly thought of as a complementary or natural therapy offered by massage clinics or wellness spas, here at Metro Chiropractic Clinic they are considered an essential part of a clinical treatment plan.

A Doctor of Chiropractic is a five year, university trained primary contact practitioner (which means they can see patients without a referral from a GP). They focus on treating the spine by using their hands to examine and treat musculoskeletal health conditions, those related to the bones, muscles and joints of the body.

Here at Metro Chiropractic Clinic, our highly experienced Chiropractors have also been additionally trained in soft tissue therapy techniques including massage.

Soft tissue work involves massage, stretching and other techniques to reduce tissue tension. Benefits of soft tissue work can include a decrease in pain, stiffness and swelling, and an increase in tissue mobility and function.
