Massage therapy has a range of benefits and a variety of techniques that can be tailored to each patient’s specific issue. Massage is a non-invasive method of treatment that relies on manipulation of the muscles and soft tissues of the body. Since massage therapy is drug-free, it has minimal or no side-effects for our patients. Under the direction of one of our chiropractors, a massage therapist will select the type of massage that provides the maximum benefit for our patient. As a component of a chiropractic plan, massage can extend healing and speed up a patient’s recovery. Massage can also be a beneficial element of a physical therapy or sports therapy plan designed by one of our chiropractors.

Benefits of Massage Therapy: Rehabilitative and Preventative Therapy for Patients in Costa Mesa, Irvine, and Newport Beach

Many types of massage are available and have a range of benefits for patients in Costa Mesa and Newport Beach. The well known types of massage are Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports Massage, and a Chair or Seated massage.  A Swedish massage utilizes five basic strokes, all in the direction of the heart, and can provide relaxation, increased blood circulation, and reduced swelling and inflammation.  Deep Tissue massages are more specialized and rely on an advanced understanding of anatomy and deep muscle tissue structure. This type of massage can be combined with other massage techniques and is helpful in physical therapy and sports therapy to treat arthritis, tendinitis, and muscular problems.  A sports massage is often an element of a chiropractor-designed sports therapy plan as the main goals are optimizing athletic performance, speeding up recovery, and preventing injuries. The focus and benefits of sports massage will vary depending on whether the massage is given prior to the athletic event, after the event, and if the massage is for injury rehabilitation.

Our Irvine office provides patients in Costa Mesa and Newport Beach with specialized massage and muscular therapy to target their individual needs. A chiropractor will work with the massage therapist on selecting and targeting the massage. Massage is beneficial in increasing circulation, reducing swelling, relaxing the mind and body, relieving pain and spasms, speeding up healing, and increasing mobility.
