| Frequently patients will ask
their chiropractor if their condition is a “bone” issue
or a “muscle” issue. And the answer in most cases is
“BOTH!” Case studies show that while strict muscular
or joint injuries do occur, they make up a very small minority of
the patients we encounter. The greatest percentage of those patients
actually suffer from MUSCULO-SKELETAL injuries in which both the
muscle AND the joint have been harmed.
While the retraining of the muscles is addressed with the type
of chiropractic care we provide, many patients need specific attention
to individual muscles to promote the healing of those damaged
tissues. Sometimes, even the cumulative effects of stress over
time are enough to strain and damage your postural muscles. For
that purpose, massage therapy is available in our office. Please
call the office or stop by the front desk anytime to check on
available appointments. And as always during your time in our
office, feel free to ask the doctor or staff if you have any questions!
