Massage can be used to help prepare the body for chiropractic adjustment by relieving muscle tension and warming up the soft tissues as well as the joints.

Types of Massages Offered CoreHealth Wellness is pleased to offer therapeutic massage to help complement chiropractic treatments. The goal is holistic healing that harmonizes the effects of musculoskeletal system work for additional pain relief and the reduction of stress.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue is like Swedish massage, but the deeper pressure is beneficial in releasing chronic muscle tension. The focus of Deep Tissue Massage is on the deepest layers of the muscle and uses deeper pressure to realign muscles and connective tissue.
Sports Massage
Sports massage therapy is geared toward athletes of every kind, from world-class professionals to weekend jobbers. The particulars of the sports massage technique are specific to the athlete’s sport of choice. Focusing on areas of the body that are overused and stressed from repetitive and often aggressive movements.
Prenatal Massage
Prenatal massage is massage therapy during pregnancy. It helps to facilitate a low-stress pregnancy and optimal health for both mother and baby and is a wonderful complement for prenatal care. Prenatal massage can help to relieve the discomforts experienced during pregnancy including aches, pains, stiffness, cramps, swelling and headaches. It promotes the flow of lymph and positive hormonal balance and body chemistry.
