Massage Therapy at our Arlington Holistic Clinic

A Complement to Chiropractic and other Holistic Healing

Integrative Chiropractic & Natural Medicine of Arlington uses a different approach to holistic care by combining treatments and therapies to maximize your health and wellness, which often includes massage therapy.

Benefits of Massage

Massage therapy can benefit your mind and body in many ways: pain relief, stress relief, improved circulation, enhanced immune system, increased mood and improved flexibility. As our massage therapists works on your muscles, the healing process begins immediately. For example, endorphins - your body's natural painkiller - are released. This is what makes massage therapy feel so good, as well as relieve chronic or temporary pain.

As your muscles are worked, your lymph system is stimulated, increasing your immunity, which removes harmful toxins and  improves your energy. For this reason, massage therapy can be a preventive measure that helps keep your body healthy and strong. Circulation is also improved because throughout your massage, oxygen and nutrients are being pumped into your vital organs.

Massage therapy is an effective treatment for your mental and physical health. Whether you are taking a proactive approach to staying healthy or incorporating it into an existing treatment plan, this holistic healing can help you feel better.

Massage Therapy with Chiropractic Care

Combining treatments can help you heal faster.  For example, when you receive a chiropractic adjustment, the chiropractor is re-aligning your joints and bones for optimum functioning. The massage therapist can concurrently release the tension in the muscles that have been holding your bones and joints in the wrong position for so long, thus facilitating a whole body approach to your holistic healing.

Massage Therapy with Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese method that has made its way into American holistic healing. Massage therapy can be combined with acupuncture for a total healing experience. Acupuncture treatments involve small needles being inserted at certain areas of the body (called meridians); this increases blood flow into areas where there may be deficiencies. This stimulation also can heighten the immune system by activating hormones in the hypothalamus and pituitary glands. The healing qualities of acupuncture differ slightly from massage therapy, which targets muscles. Combining the two enhances the healing results that would be reached from just one form of therapy.

If you are looking for a holistic clinic in the Arlington area that is efficient in pain management techniques through combining massage therapy, chiropractic care, and many other treatments, Integrative Chiropractic & Natural Medicine can help.
