More Benefits of Massage Therapy

Here at Nichols Chiropractic in Manhattan, KS, massage therapy is an important part of the treatment options we offer for patients recovering from injuries and for those trying to overcome chronic health problems. Our patients rave about how they feel after a massage session, and not just because it feels good—our Manhattan massage sessions bring patients tangible health benefits a plenty!

How Massage Therapy Can Help You

When you schedule a Manhattan massage therapy appointment with us, our chiropractors work directly with the massage therapists to prescribe the type of therapy you need for your condition. We offer the following types of massage:

•    Swedish
•    Deep Tissue
•    Reflexology
•    Prenatal
•    Hot Stone

Some of the general health benefits you can enjoy from a Manhattan massage include:

•    Stress relief—Stress is one of the most damaging things to our health! Studies show that 90% of doctor visits stem from stress-related or stress-exacerbated illnesses from high blood pressure and diabetes to headaches, depression, anxiety and more. Massage relieves not only mental and emotional stress that can cause biochemical damage to your system, it relieves musculoskeletal tensions, loosening tight muscles and their connections to your skeletal system. 

•    Pain relief—By relieving musculoskeletal tensions, improving circulation, reducing inflammation right down at the cellular level and stimulating the release of endorphins (the body’s own natural, feel-good painkillers), our patients enjoy a reduction in their aches and pains. These things also help accelerate the healing of soft tissue injures and help reduce tight knots and adhesions that prevent full healing and range of motion. Massage therapy helps our patients feel better all over without the need for pain medication.

•    Improved immune system function—Another great benefit with massage is its ability to tone and stimulate the immune system, making our patients less susceptible to the contagious illnesses that proliferate this time of year.
