Chiropractic Massage Therapy in Rockford, IL

Because your muscles and your spine work together, and caring for both helps each one respond better. Chiropractic adjustments restore movement to the joints of your spine, and massage therapy relaxes and restores the muscles and soft tissue around those joints, which can hold them tight. Prescribed by your chiropractor and timed around your adjustments, spinal traction, and physical therapy, soft tissue work helps your corrections hold, so each visit builds on the last.

Six soft tissue therapies, and your chiropractor prescribes the ones your care plan needs:

• Therapeutic massage and soft tissue therapy relaxes tight muscles and supports your adjustments.
• Deep tissue massage uses firm, focused pressure on stubborn knots and long-standing tension in the shoulders, back, and hips.
• Trigger point therapy works on specific knots in a muscle that send pain to other areas, such as your head, neck, or lower back.
• Myofascial release uses slow, sustained pressure on the fascia, the connective tissue wrapped around your muscles, to ease stiffness and restore movement.
• Cupping therapy increases blood flow and loosens adhesions in muscle and fascia.
• Sports massage supports preparation, recovery, and maintenance for athletes and active adults.

Patients in care for back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, and sports or work injuries often benefit, as does anyone whose muscles tighten back up between adjustments. Your chiropractor decides which soft tissue therapy fits your plan and when, based on your exam findings.

Massage therapy supports all three phases of care. During relief, it eases muscle pain and spasm. During correction, it helps your adjustments and spinal traction hold. During maintenance, it keeps the muscles and soft tissue around your spine healthy as part of maintaining the health of your spine.

Your first visit begins with a consultation and health history, followed by a thorough spinal exam, postural assessment, functional & orthopedic testing, and spinal X-rays if your doctor finds they are needed. From there, your doctor walks you through a clear & detailed report of findings, so you understand what is going on with your spine and the muscles around it, which massage and soft tissue therapy will help, and what your best next steps are. You will have the opportunity to ask questions, review your options, and make the decision that is right for you. The $21 New Patient Special covers the consultation and health history, the thorough exam, spinal X-rays if needed, and the report of findings. (Excludes Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, and PI/Workers' Comp claimants.)
