Therapeutic Masssage in Gastonia, NC
Relieve Pain, Restore Balance, and Enhance Healing
At Southeast Family Chiropractic in Gastonia, NC, we offer Therapeutic Massage as part of our integrated approach to pain relief and recovery. Whether you’re managing chronic tension, recovering from an injury, or seeking natural stress relief, chiropractic massage therapy can help your body heal and function at its best.
Massage therapy complements chiropractic adjustments by relaxing muscles, improving circulation, and restoring balance — creating lasting relief without medication or invasive treatments.
Understanding Chiropractic Massage Therapy
Therapeutic massage is far more than relaxation — it’s a proven treatment that helps the body recover from pain, tension, and injury. By manipulating soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments, massage therapy:
- Increases blood and lymph flow for faster healing
- Reduces muscle stiffness and inflammation
- Improves range of motion and flexibility
- Relieves tension-related headaches and chronic pain
- Encourages the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers
At Southeast Family Chiropractic, each massage is tailored to your specific needs, whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or enhancing overall wellness.
Massage for Healing and Pain Management
Massage therapy has a long history as an effective tool for rehabilitation, pain management, and stress reduction. Our chiropractors use various techniques to target specific issues and support your chiropractic adjustments.
Common Massage Techniques We Use:
- Swedish Massage – Promotes relaxation, improves circulation, and reduces surface tension.
- Deep Tissue Massage – Addresses deeper muscle layers to treat chronic pain and scar tissue.
- Trigger Point Therapy – Releases “knots” in muscle fibers that cause referred pain and tightness.
- Sports Massage – Targets specific muscles used during physical activity to aid recovery and prevent injury.
Massage Therapy Can Help With:
- Back and neck pain
- Muscle strains and sprains
- Sciatica or nerve tension
- Arthritis and joint stiffness
- Carpal tunnel and repetitive strain injuries
- Headaches and migraines
- Stress, anxiety, and poor sleep
- Prenatal and postpartum discomfort
By improving circulation and relaxing soft tissues, massage therapy enhances your body’s ability to heal and maintain optimal function.
How Massage and Chiropractic Care Work Together
Massage and chiropractic treatments are a powerful combination for restoring alignment and reducing tension throughout the body.
How They Complement Each Other:
- Massage relaxes muscles before an adjustment, allowing for smoother and more effective realignment.
- Chiropractic adjustments correct spinal misalignments that cause muscular tension and imbalance.
- Together, they promote natural healing, improve posture, and support long-term wellness.
Your chiropractor may recommend massage before or after adjustments to maximize results, especially for chronic pain, injury recovery, or stress-related tension.
What to Expect During Treatment
During your session, your therapist will use targeted massage techniques based on your condition and goals. You’ll remain comfortably positioned while the muscles are treated with precise pressure and motion.
What you’ll experience
- A calming, relaxing atmosphere
- Gentle or firm pressure based on your needs
- Immediate relief of tightness or stiffness
- A sense of relaxation and improved flexibility afterward
For chronic pain or injury recovery, multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal and lasting results.
