Byers Chiropractic treats auto accident injuries with massage therapy
Massage therapy can play a crucial role in alleviating pain and restoring health and wellness following a car accident. While chiropractic care targets the joints and bones, massage therapy targets the muscles and surrounding soft tissue. We offer a range of specialized options that can be paired with chiropractic treatment as part of your personalized treatment plan.
Muscle pain is common following a car accident, especially in the muscles surrounding the neck. When you experience whiplash, it pulls and stretches the muscles, ligaments, and tendons in your neck unnaturally. Other areas of the body can also be affected in a car accident, leading to muscle tension and spasms. Massage therapy can help most patients experience greater relief and lasting healing.
The highly skilled therapists at Byers Chiropractic & Massage: Car Accident Urgent Care offer several specialized treatments depending on your needs. In most cases, massage therapy for a car accident or work injury is covered by insurance.
Massage Therapies at Byers Chiropractic
Trigger Point Massage
Trigger points are tight “knots” in your muscles that often feel tense and hard. They’re also a source of pain that will often radiate out and cause pain in other places on your body. They tend to develop more around muscle injuries.
After a car accident, your muscles are tense and fatigued and may develop new trigger points. Our skilled massage therapist will identify your trigger points and carefully rub them out to relieve tension and pain in those areas. Not only will this help reduce these trigger points, but it will also allow for faster and better healing of the injuries they surround.
Deep Tissue Massage
A deep tissue massage applies targeted pressure to inner layers of muscle and tissue. These muscles are often damaged in auto accident injuries and can be hard to treat. This eases chronic muscle knots, restores joint mobility, increases blood circulation, assists in correcting dysfunctional spine curvature, can relieve numbness, and reduces tension.
Deep tissue massage is intense in nature and is ideal for patients who get regular bodywork and are used to heavy pressure. If you think it may be a good fit for you or you have additional questions, call our office today.
Relaxation Swedish Massage
A relaxation massage is focused on restoring energy and balance to your body. Swedish techniques are used to relax muscles and improve circulation. These tension-taming techniques target specific areas of the body to relieve chronic pain, alleviate muscle fatigue, reduce water retention, and improve joint flexibility.
CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) can be effective at alleviating the effects of stress in the body in a natural way by softly correcting spinal cord restrictions. Using a light touch, the therapist evaluates and treats your spinal fluid circulation after feeling your body’s unique rhythm. CST can help treat a variety of mild car accident injuries including whiplash.
CranioSacral Therapy aims to improve the central nervous system and immune system’s overall function and health and can be helpful when done in conjunction with chiropractic care.
