When deciding whether to receive a massage before or after a chiropractic adjustment, consider the following factors:
Treatment Goals: Are you seeking immediate relief from muscle tension or pain, or are you focused on long-term alignment and wellness?
Muscle Tension: If you have significant muscle tightness, a pre-adjustment massage might help relax the muscles, making the adjustment smoother.
Chiropractor's Recommendation: Your chiropractor's expertise and advice can guide your decision-making process.
Comfort: Some individuals prefer a massage after an adjustment to enhance relaxation and capitalize on the benefits.
Communication: Openly discuss your preferences with both your chiropractor and massage therapist. They can collaborate to create a treatment plan that aligns with your needs.
