Massage Therapy

Massage has a long and distinguished history as a proven therapeutic modality. The manipulation of soft tissues can increase blood and lymph flow, relax tight muscles and tendons, and help an injured body part heal itself more readily while also ridding itself of inflammatory substances more efficiently.

Different forms of massage can address different health and wellness needs. Swedish massage, for instance, soothes and relaxes surface tissues, while deep tissue massage breaks up internal scar tissue and treats chronic problems closer to the bones. Trigger point massage relieves muscle knots that can cause pain throughout the body. Sports massage may use any of these techniques to work on specific muscles that must perform optimally or recover from overuse. Ciotti may prescribe massage therapy to address problems such as:

Chiropractic care and massage work together extraordinarily well. Massage relaxes the body so that your muscles won't resist chiropractic adjustments, yielding more satisfying results from your adjustment sessions. At the same time, the realignment of joint components removes a source of stress that might otherwise promote chronic musculoskeletal strain and pain.

Ciotti may schedule massage therapy for you immediately before your chiropractic adjustments so you get the full benefit of this combination. Ongoing sessions may prove most helpful if you suffer from a chronic pain condition. Multiple sessions usually offer the greatest benefits for injury treatment as well.
