5 Benefits of Combining Chiropractic Care with Massage Therapy

One of the most common questions we hear is: “Should I get a massage before or after my chiropractic adjustment?”

The truth is, chiropractic care and massage therapy work hand-in-hand. When combined, they create a powerful approach to pain relief and healing. Here are five benefits of pairing these therapies together.

1. Faster Pain Relief

Massage relaxes tight muscles, which allows adjustments to be more effective. Patients often feel immediate relief when both therapies are used together.

2. Reduced Stress & Tension

Massage lowers stress hormones and relaxes the nervous system. Chiropractic adjustments then help restore balance to the spine and joints. Together, they create a deep sense of calm and renewal.

3. Better Circulation & Healing

Improved blood flow from massage delivers nutrients and oxygen to tissues. Chiropractic helps ensure proper nerve communication. The result: faster recovery from injuries and daily strain.

4. Improved Flexibility & Mobility

Massage lengthens and loosens muscles, while chiropractic restores joint alignment. This combination helps you move with less stiffness and greater range of motion.

5. Whole-Body Wellness

Both therapies support overall health, not just symptom relief. Whether you’re an athlete, an office worker, or someone recovering from an accident, this combination enhances performance, energy, and resilience.
