Frequently Asked Questions about Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is one of the best ways to treat pain. If you are thinking about seeing a chiropractor for pain relief, Johnson Chiropractic Center in Fayetteville can help. These are some of the most common questions people ask before their first massage sessions.

What Parts of the Body Will a Chiropractor Massage?

Every chiropractor is different, and so is each injury. Most often, massage therapists and chiropractors massage the back, neck, legs, and arms. They may also massage the hands and feet.

What Are the Benefits of Massage Therapy?

Massage therapy offers many benefits for people who are in pain or who are recovering from injuries. For one, massage is a great way to de-stress and relax at the end of a hectic week. This is especially helpful if tension contributes to an injury you have.

Massage also helps relieve pain. If you have been in an accident or suffered an injury, massage can release lactic acid and create more mobility and flexibility in the muscles.

What Happens during Massage Therapy?

During a massage session, your chiropractor will use hands-on massage techniques. We will manipulate your soft tissues with fingers, palms, and even elbows. In some cases, our therapist will also stretch out your muscles to relieve more tension and allow for a deeper massage. All techniques will be discussed with you before they are performed.

How Long Does Massage Treatment Last?

Each session will likely last 30 to 90 minutes, based on the length of your chiropractic sessions and your injury's needs. In the long run, treatment sessions may be required once per week for a month, while some people return on a long-term basis.
