Recently, I had a client come to me for massage after she was referred by her chiropractor. I later found that another massage client of mine is also a patient of this same chiropractor.
Chiropractors and Massage Therapists can get along wonderfully. Typically chiropractic deals with the bones and how they line up. People often raise their shoulders at even the thought of a chiropractor. Why? Alignment is key for everything in your body to work properly. This is a good thing. Where does massage fit in you ask? The body is very much a tensegrity structure, without bones the muscles would have no way of standing on their own and without muscles the bones wouldn’t last very long on their own either.
Your chiropractor should know a good massage therapist and vice versa. We all want people to heal and our work can be very complementary, leading to your good health long-term when utilized for maintenance and faster recovery when combined for acute pain and other ailments.
Personally, I have a list of chiropractors that I know well and recommend for nearly every town in the Valley. There are a few that are stellar, but if someone’s not willing to travel more than a few miles, their often someone in their neighborhood.
