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...

Why does chiropractic work?
Chiropractic works because your nervous system, consisting of your brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of your body, controls and regulates every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. A chiropractor locates and reduces areas of nervous system compromise (usually along the spine) so your capacity to heal is restored. Chiropractic works by helping your body work as it was designed.
What's a side effect?
It may sound like a bonus; something extra, but chiropractors know it should more accurately called an "unintended effect," and "unwanted effect" or in some cases an "adverse effect." A pill can't come close to matching your body's ability to create and deliver the essential compounds it needs. That's when it's important to make sure your nervous system is working correctly—the purpose of chiropractic care!
