If you suffer from chronic or acute pain that can’t be relieved with rest or painkillers, chiropractic massage therapy can help. Massage therapy and chiropractic care are safe alternatives to invasive procedures, surgery, and prescription medication. At Smith Chiropractic, our chiropractor Dr. Ammon Jacobson specializes in drug-free pain relief and improved health and wellness through chiropractic care and massage therapy in Colorado Springs, CO

Addresses the Underlying Cause of Pain and Dysfunction

Chiropractic care and massage therapy both address the underlying cause of pain and dysfunction. Rather than using prescription medication to mask your pain temporarily, Dr. Jacobson will take the time to provide whole patient care and diagnose the root cause of your pain. Massage therapy can not only relieve pain and inflammation. It can also promote the body’s natural healing processes and improve spinal alignment, mobility, and range of motion.

Reduces Tension and Stress

Massage therapy reduces stress and tension in your muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Our massage therapists use different techniques to strategically address different areas and types of pain by reducing stress. When your muscles are tight, added strain is put on your body which can start the cycle of chronic pain all over again. During chiropractic massage, we will stretch and loosen your connective tissue, muscles, and limbs so they are less tense. 

Interrupts the Cycle of Pain

Chronic pain can occur in a cycle. The nerves in your body communicate with your brain, telling it to produce pain signals. Massage therapy can interfere with those pain signals and stimulate the release of endorphins, which are natural painkillers. By interrupting the cycle of pain and relieving tension and inflammation, your body will have time and energy to begin the healing process.
