"Hello. My name's Rebecca Herrick. I'm here at Everything Peaceful in Wilmington, North Carolina, to explain what a chiropractic massage would be. A chiropractor's office is a great place for a massage therapist to work. Many times you get clients that come to a chiropractor that need their muscle issues addressed as well as their structural alignment of their bones. So the two go hand in hand. And so what a lot of times a massage therapist would do is go in and work on the client. Warm them up, get them prepared for their chiropractic adjustment. And then the chiropractor comes in, does the adjustment and leaves and sends you back in there to do follow-up muscle tissue work. The soft tissue's often what's pulling the bones out of alignment. So, just adjusting the tissue, just adjusting the bones without addressing the soft tissue issues often times doesn't let their adjustment last very long. So by working and incorporating soft tissue work into the adjustment process, it helps the chiropractor's work to last a lot longer. Helps to prevent muscle spasms and muscle problems as a result of the chiropractic adjustment. So working hand in hand with the chiropractor is a great benefit to the client. And that's what a chiropractic massage would be."
