At Parkside Clinic in Southeast Portland, we offer patients both chiropractic care and massage therapy—two services that complement each other and help our patients achieve their goals of optimal health.
In today’s blog I’ll share with you how these services function together and how our staff works to ensure you receive the best services to meet your individual needs.
First, let’s take a look at each of these practices. Chiropractic care primarily focuses on the skeletal system while massage focuses on the muscular system. Together, these two systems form what is called the musculoskeletal system. One system cannot operate without the other. By addressing both components of each system, patients will experience positive and powerful synergistic effects on their overall health and well-being.
Every patient presents with unique stresses to the musculoskeletal system that need to be treated with an individualized approach. At Parkside we work with you to address your specific needs because we believe in and are committed to customized care.
When it comes to getting these services, you don’t need to have massage the same day as chiropractic care, although this is a common approach.
By combining these two services, most patients will experience the benefits of pain control, reduced stress, better ranges of motion, relaxation, and improved functional abilities in their activities and daily living.
If you’ve experienced an injury as a result of a car accident, don’t delay in contacting us. Chiropractic care and massage are effective, non-invasive forms of treatment for injuries sustained from these types of accidents. The musculoskeletal system undergoes significant trauma in a motor vehicle collision and addressing both the two components of these systems is essential for a complete recovery.
Whether you’ve been in an accident or have experienced other painful musculoskeletal issues, our staff is ready to assist you in developing a care plan. The chiropractors and massage therapists at Parkside Clinic collaborate as a team to address each patient’s condition and needs, complementing the other’s approach to create a powerful combination for healing. We share each other’s findings and treatment goals to ensure we have a common path forward.
While most insurances cover chiropractic care, many insurance carriers now cover massage as well. Call us at 503-772-1215 and let our experienced staff members check your benefits to see if massage is a covered service on your plan.
If you don’t have insurance, our staff is ready to help you with pricing questions as there is a difference between medical massage for a diagnosed condition and relaxation massage for calming and restoration.
We look forward to working with you and providing both chiropractic care and massage therapy.
