Massage Therapy

Massage Therapy at Whitacre Wellness provides your body with a smooth transition from living in pain and muscular dysfunction to living in homeostasis (balance). The body is full of articulations that are completely controlled by your muscles. Muscle dysfunction almost always means joint dysfunction. Muscle manipulation provides articulations the ability to move more freely and the blood's ability to deliver more nutrients to promote faster healing.

Dysfunctional muscles left untreated can and often do lead to joint compression, increasing the chances of developing arthritis and scar tissue. Arthritis will increase pain in the affected articulations which can change the way you walk, sit, stand, and hold postural positions. Postural changes, known as deviations, are the bodies attempt to remain pain free. This is a deceptive change because the deviations will also cause new dysfunctions to occur and further deviations are needed to continue living pain free. This lack of pain will be short lived if the deviations are not corrected.

The Whitacre Wellness Team at Whitacre Wellness combines Chiropractic, Massage, Nutrition, and Physical Therapy to enhance our patients overall wellness and free movement. Fueling the body with good nutrition is key to fighting disease development and maintaining a high level of energy. Chiropractic care corrects many ailments especially those caused by joint subluxation, such as, nerve irritation and postural deviations. Massage Therapy helps the body to hold adjustments by decreasing muscular spasms and splinting, a huge cause in articular misalignment. Physical fitness ties in to your health care by strengthening weakened muscles further helping the body to hold adjustments and live a more pain free life.
