Learn More About Massage Therapy in Alpharetta

At North Atlanta Spine, we know that some patients struggle with chronic pain every day. They have back pain, neck pain and other ailments that make it hard for them to do the things they love. One of the services our office offers is massage therapy, which can help relieve that pain without using addictive medication.

What Is Massage Therapy?

Massage therapy isn't just for relaxation. There are several types that can help relieve muscle tension, improve circulation and provide a better sense of wellness overall. Some types that our office provides include:

• Orthopedic massage -which focuses on the tissues around joints
• Myofascial release - which allows trauma, inflammatory responses, tightness or injury from surgical procedures to be released. The technique requires minimal pressure, making it effective for most patients.
• Trigger-point therapy - which identifies tight points where the muscles are causing pain. Releasing that tense muscle relieves pain for many patients.
• Sports massage -which is used to enhance performance and reduce recovery time
• Neuromuscular massage - which addresses ischemia and neural entrapment, dysfunctional gait patterns, fibromyalgia, myofascial release, and postural assessment
• Deep-tissue massage - which focuses on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, the fascia, and tendons. This can be an uncomfortable massage, but by working through superficial muscles, there is the potential to reach the root cause of pain
• Swedish massage - which is for relaxation and encourages the improved oxygenation of the muscles and blood while easing any tension you may have
• Pregnancy massage - which is specifically designed for mothers who are pregnant and in their second or third trimesters. 

As you can see, there are many different options to talk to your chiropractor and massage therapist about when you have your appointment. One or a combination of massage types could be the right choice to help you relieve your pain and improve your health.
