How do I know when to utilize chiropractic versus massage and physical therapy?

• Physical therapy and massage are tremendous modalities to assist in rehabilitation. They address musculature by strengthening and relaxing. Chiropractic will address skeletal components of patient complaints. A patient can relax and strengthen a muscle but until the proper joint motion is restored, the two previous modalities will be of limited effectiveness.
   

• In an ideal world, joint function, nerve problems, and muscle function would all be addressed to allow for optimal functioning. We utilize adjustments to affect the joint motion and remove irritation from the nervous system. We also employ a massage therapist to assist with muscular complaints, so that we might add one more dimension of care to a patient’s care program.
