Many of you may wonder if massage or chiropractic is better for certain ailments. Or whether or not its okay to see a chiropractor and registered massage therap...ist (RMT) on the same day or within the same week. Certain issues may require more care from one of these health practitioners. But often times a chiropractor and RMT can work together to help achieve the best results for your common complaints. Even though the body is made up of many different systems they must all function together properly to achieve optimal health. If one system or structure is not working to its best ability other systems can in turn suffer. When a joint is restricted and irritated the muscles surrounding this joint can tighten up due to the bodies protective mechanisms. Conversely muscle tension can pull on a joint further causing irritation and restrictions. Therefore, no matter what area initiated the ailment addressing both structures will help to ensure you are solving the root cause of your problems. Dr. Michelle Cruickshank and Rebecca Forler at The Natural Way Health Clinic recommend addressing the muscular system first through register massage therapy prior to visiting your chiropractor. This can assist in reducing the muscular tension in order to allow for a more beneficial adjustment and release of your joints. However, benefits will be seen regardless of the order you choose. Chiropractic adjustments may extend the benefits of your massage and a massage may extend the benefits of your chiropractic adjustments. No matter what order you decide to choose, using both of these treatments may be effective in reducing your pain, improving your function and restoring your overall well-being. If you are still not sure which order is right for you feel free to consult with either one of us and as a team we will devise a personalized treatment plan. We are very excited to be working together at the Natural Way because we feel that two brains are better then one, which allows us to provide our best patient centred care.
