Our Center has Licensed Massage Therapists that practice a wide variety of styles and techniques. We strongly feel the muscular system and patterns that can form in this system play a vital role in what is causing problems in the spine. To address this, massage therapy is used extensively in our Chiropractic treatment. By correcting tight and out of balance muscles groups, we have found our Chiropractic adjustment work better, improve areas faster and give longer lasting results. Massage is available in 30, 60 and 90 minutes sessions.

How does massage therapy work?

What different types of massage do we offer?
Deep Tissue Massage targets the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. The massage therapist uses slower strokes or friction techniques across the grain of the muscle.
