Benefits of Combining Massage Therapy with Chiropractic Care

People benefit a number of ways by combining chiropractic care and massage therapy. Your body’s muscles and skeletal system are interconnected and work together. Massage therapy deals with soft tissues, while chiropractic care focuses on the musculoskeletal structure and hard tissues. Combining both treatments lead to highly effective and longer-lasting benefits to your body. Massage therapy prepares your body for chiropractic adjustments. It improves circulation, enhances the delivery of nutrients and oxygen delivery to promote healing, and stimulates healthy muscle function. Massage therapy removes lactic acid in the muscles, which causes spasm and stiffness. It also relaxes the body and prepares the skeletal system for adjustments. When soft tissues are loose and relaxed, chiropractic treatments become more effective in adjusting, aligning, and manipulating the bone structure and hard tissues. With massage therapy and chiropractic care together, you will experience:

Faster healing of muscles and tissues

Sharper mental acuity and improved nervous system function

Pain relief and reduced inflammation in the body

Flexibility and increased mobility

Improved blood, oxygen, and nutrients circulation in the body

The outcome is chiropractic and massage therapy are complementary forms of health care sharing the goal of your total well-being, not simply an absence of illness. Both offer a natural, hands-on, drug-free techniques. They can be used as preventative as well as restorative therapies. When used in combination, they help maintain optimum health!

There are many types of massage and chiropractic treatments that can be used depending on your needs. We would love to have the opportunity to share with you’re the benefits of chiropractic care combined with massage therapy to help you feel, better faster, for good.

Wood Chiropractic feels like a family. They are all warm and welcoming and Dr Wood truly cares about you health and wellness. The best part about it, for busy people, they run like a well oiled machine. You rarely wait. They are super efficient.

Our family can’t recommend Dr. Wood enough. We started going to his practice over a year ago when my husbands shoulder was bothering him and my knee was giving me issues causing pain when trying to hike. Dr. Wood put together a plan to address our individual problems and our pain has not returned. We also just had him adjust our 6 week old newborn who was fussy and not a happy baby. Overnight we have a completely different happy baby that is sleeping through the night. Highly recommend this practice for the entire family.

I have been seeing Dr. Wood and his team for almost 10 years. I won’t go anywhere else. He treats you like family and has helped me drastically over the years. My kids have even seen him. We love Dr. Wood and his clinic

My family and I have been patients of Chris for years and he is hands down the best chiropractor we have ever been to. I highly recommend him!

I'd never been to a chiropractor before, but my back was really bothering me. I thought I had muscle strain, but Dr. Wood explained that my spine was causing issues with my joints. He did an adjustment and it felt so much better!! So glad I went and I'm going to continue to go to keep my back! Michael is great, too! Love the heated rolling massage machine! Thanks!

Jared D.

I've had to endure back pain the vast majority of my life and only chiropractic treatment has managed it well enough to continue a physically active lifestyle. Dr. Wood is noticeably better than any of the three previous chiropractors I've tried. He remains attentively mindful towards my specific conditions & evolving circumstances. This in turn has led to more pin point, subtle, effective adjustments. He has an extensive knowledge of health and is eager to share it. Dr. Wood truly cares about the health of his patients.

Dr. Wood's orthospinology technique is very gentle yet effective. This has helped me tremendously. They are also very flexible and accommodating with scheduling which is quite helpful. Everyone is very caring and professional. I highly recommend them. If you are looking for a good chiropractor I highly recommend Dr. Wood. I believe you would be quite happy with the services provided.

I am a very long time patient of Wood Chiropractic. Dr. Wood is incredibly knowledgeable, well trained, creative, and really listens to the patient. It takes regular maintenance to keep me going on many levels, and Chris is an invaluable piece in the medical/body care that does so very much for me. Everyone in the office is professional, friendly, and caring. I really wholeheartedly recommend Wood Chiropractic!

Chris is professional, caring and creates a treatment plan that will assist your body to heal naturally. The relief I've received from consecutive treatments is significant. Thanks Chris for being a bright light and contributing to others through your gift!

Thomas S.

Dr. Wood saved me from neck surgery and having to quit my favorite hobby of Jiu-Jitsu. He doubled the space between my disks in my neck. Jiu-Jitsu can be a rough sport and it's long term effect on joints and mobility for many reasons. Without Dr. Wood I wouldn't be able to recover and continue to push myself in this sport and remain functional off the mat as well. At the age of 36 I competed in my first professional NoGi Jiu-Jitsu match and I give a lot of credit to Dr. Wood. Without Dr. Wood I would not feel physically capable to compete at a high level, which is an important part of my life.

Dr. Wood is an amazing caring chiropractor! He takes the time to discuss your concerns, evaluates your habits (mine is unfortunately slouching) and addresses the area needing an adjustment. After a car accident he took careful action to take away my neck pain and get me back to normal. His office is always professional, clean, and welcoming. I highly recommend Dr. Wood and his team!

Chase S.

Wood Chiropractic is an amazing place with great people. Very friendly, and Dr. Wood has always listened to what has been bothering me and focused on getting those issues addressed with each adjustment. I have been to many chiropractors in Durango, and Wood Chiropractic is the best choice for me!

Sue P.

Dr. Wood has helped me greatly along my path to recovering from a grievous injury. He is a true healing force. Now he has added a medical massage therapist who complements his services with her own great touch. Thank you all, including Michael the scheduler, etc., for all the good you are doing.

Chris is such a caring person. He is always willing to help you with anything he can. Since I have started going to him. He has taken real good care of us. Migraines have also not been as bad. Also my son started going to him and he helped him get back to playing football. He is an amazing sweet person
