While many people view massage as a relaxing spa treatment, this form of bodywork has many health benefits. It can break up adhesions and the toxicity buildup in the belly of the muscle, improving circulation and promoting overall relaxation. The body can then function more efficiently and relax completely.
Massage and upper cervical chiropractic care go hand in hand. When you are out of alignment, the muscles will be tight either to compensate, brace, or guard up. Massage can relax the muscles, reducing tension and discomfort, making it easier to receive an adjustment and hold the adjustment longer. This combination enhances overall healing and promotes long-term wellness.
Our licensed massage therapist is proficient in various techniques, including deep tissue and hot stone. These methods complement chiropractic adjustments, helping reduce tension, improve circulation, and enhance recovery, enabling patients to heal faster and achieve long-lasting relief.

We recommend you wear comfortable clothing. However, therapeutic massage is usually performed with the client undressed. Rest assured that you will be appropriately draped during your massage.
It depends on the techniques your therapist uses. Your session may begin with broad flowing strokes to initiate the relaxation process. Pressure will gradually increase to relax particular areas and release bands of tight muscle.
Deep tissue massage or trigger point therapies use deeper pressure and more intensive techniques. The pressure should always be within your comfort level. If you would like to receive less or more pressure at any time, just let your therapist know.
Our massages are $70 for half an hour, $140 for an hour, and $210 per hour and a half.
Massage therapy is a powerful complement to chiropractic care, particularly upper cervical adjustments. When your body is out of alignment, muscles can become tight as they work to stabilize and compensate for imbalances. This tension often leads to discomfort, reduced range of motion, and even headaches. Massage therapy helps release this muscle tension, making it easier for chiropractors to perform effective adjustments.
Additionally, massage promotes better blood circulation, reducing inflammation and accelerating the body’s natural healing process. When your muscles are relaxed and flexible, they’re more likely to adapt to and maintain the corrected alignment after an adjustment. This means fewer adjustments over time and longer-lasting relief from pain and discomfort.
Massage therapy is also known for its stress-reducing benefits, which complement chiropractic care’s goal of restoring balance to the body. Stress and tension can lead to misalignments or exacerbate existing ones. Regular massage sessions help reduce stress levels, improve sleep quality, and boost your overall physical and mental well-being.
