Persistent problems with spinal misalignment may require a trained chiropractor to refer patients for massage therapy. This may be the case even after extensive spinal manipulation to support the stabilizing muscles. These treatments aim to rehabilitate and develop tight and tense muscles to improve patient recovery time. An added benefit is the overall reduction in stress, which will help chiropractors get people back on their feet better and stay that way for a longer period of time.

Key Takeaways:

• proper care and maintenance of the body is essential in preventing long term health
• the longer one waits to correct health issues, the more difficult the healing process becomes
• massage therapy is one of the ways we can help to prevent chronic muscle atrophy with the added benefit of stress relief

"Because muscles are important in holding and stabilizing the spine in its proper positioning, it is important that the muscles are not tight and spasmed, but doing the job they were meant to do in the first place."
