Massage Therapy

“We have always worked with massage therapists in our office.  We see every day the great benefits it provides our patients.  (for more details on the benefits of Massage, please continue below)  We are extremely particular with the massage therapists we bring into the office and we seek out the best!”  

Dr. Shiloh Whiksne & Dr. Cameron Johnson


Massage Therapy compliments the chiropractic care you receive in our office.

Muscles react to stress by shortening and tightening up.  This can lead to loss of flexibility in joints, misalignments, trigger points,  decreased circulation, poor posture and poor health. 

Therapeutic massage received regularly helps work out chronic muscular tension.  Massage melts away tension, and if received regularly, keeps tension from building back up again.  Not only will you feel better but you will be healthier from the inside out.

Massage Supports Chiropractic

You can benefit by adding massage therapy to your chiropractic care program.

  • Recovery is normally faster and more complete when you address multiple components of your pain.
  • Chiropractic treatment often proceeds more easily with less comfort when sot tissue has been relaxed with massage.
  • You may be less tense and more ready to receive a chiropractic adjustment after a massage.
  • Adjustments frequently last longer when muscle tension is released that might otherwise pull your joints out of alignment again.
Chiropractic Supports Massage

If you are seeking massage for general health or pain but find your pain persists or recurs, chiropractic could help in these ways.

  • If your problem has a "joint component" an adjustment may give immediate relief.
  • You will find that surrounding soft tissue heals quickly once it is no longer subjected to the stress of misaligned joints.
  • Improved joint movement can relax deep layers of muscle that is difficult to reach with massage.
  • With improved joint mobility exercise and stretching program will be more efficient and effective.

The Doctor Asks some important questions of interest to West Linn residents - Chiropractor West Linn The Doctor Asks...

What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
How could chiropractic help a stomach problem?
Chiropractic works by locating and reducing areas of the spine compromising nerve communications between your brain and your body. If nerves to or from your stomach are irritated, your stomach won't work right. Chiropractors find the source of the interference, reduce it and allow your body to work as designed.
