Here at the Back & Neck Chiropractic & Sports Massage Clinic in Vancouver, WA we are pleased to provide our patients with chiropractic care, massage therapy, and more. We are proud to offer much more than just the most basic of health, wellness care, and pain management: We use a combination of treatments to care for our patients, and to provide the highest levels of effective pain management. Massage is one of the most effective ways to handle back pain, muscle spasms, sports injuries, and many other illnesses or injuries, and the benefits for the patient can be tremendous. Massage can increase flexibility, improve circulation, reduce swelling, and can stimulate the release of the body's own natural painkillers, endorphins.

Massage therapy is available at our comfortable offices, where our chiropractor and massage therapists will evaluate you and help to determine the type of massage needed. Massage types include sports massage, trigger point massage, deep tissue massage, and swedish massage.

Massage benefits can be remarkable, and our massage patients have often used massage therapy as a vital part of the injury healing process. Massage can help patients to heal more quickly, and to be more comfortable during the healing process -- in fact, it is one of the most effective non-invasive pain reduction techniques. Massage therapy can be such a powerful tool for athletes that some clients get regular massages as a way to maximize athletic performance. Massage can also include stress relief and improvement of overall well being. When patients who have suffered from stress or anxiety get massage therapy or a combination of massage and treatments like chiropractic care they often find they are able to fall asleep more quickly and have a more restful sleep.

Massage has been shown to help increase overall wellness, as well as helping resolve a variety of injuries and problems. It can be especially helpful with sports injuries, which is one of our specialties here at Back & Neck Chiropractic & Sports Massage Clinic. At our office, we make sure to determine the root of the problem that each patient is having, and then use massage as an effective way to help remove the problem at its source.

We would love to hear from readers. How has massage therapy helped you in your life?
