Chiropractic Massage

Chiropractic massage is a great solution for those suffering from chronic illness, allergies, migraines or any ongoing pain. Chiropractic massage combines scientific and holistic medicine by improving the patient’s nervous system function through specific manipulations and deep tissue massage. At Robinson Family Chiropractic, we offer various chiropractic massage options in order to treat individuals in the Rolling Meadows and Algonquin, IL area who suffer from chronic conditions.

The benefits of chiropractic massage are mental as well as physical, providing both the body and mind with relief from pressure, pain and discomfort. With chiropractic massage, we are able to remove toxins that can build up in the muscles in the body. Our highly trained massage therapists focus on the support muscles of the torso and back, working to stretch and loosen muscles while enhancing circulation, which helps the body eliminate toxins.

Chiropractic massage is a therapeutic technique that helps the muscles in the back, neck and torso relax and release any tension that might be affecting the area. Tightness in these areas often causes back aches, cramps, neck pain, headaches and migraines. By reducing pressure on the spine, relaxing the muscles and improving blood flow, we are able to help patients increase immune system function, reduce stress and regain emotional stability. We offer the following chiropractic massage options:

• Deep tissue massage
• Relaxation massage
• Swedish massage
• Sports massage
• Pregnancy massage
• Youth massage

Massage therapy can be an integral part of our patients treatment plans as well as a great way for preventive maintenance on your body and mind. Ask us more about what we have to offer!

Workplace Injuries

Workplace injuries are quite common in the United States. It doesn’t matter if you sit at a desk or are working on your feet all day, there are number of cautions you need to take when it comes to workplace safety. At Robinson Family Chiropractic, Dr. Richard Robinson and the rest of our team believe that patient education is crucial when it comes to recovering from and even preventing workplace injuries.

 

For patients working in an office environment, there are many factors that contribute to your back issues. These factors include force (exerting too much stress on your back), repetition (repeating certain movements lead to muscle fatigue), posture (slouching leads to muscle fatigue and injury) and stress (pressure at work can increase stress and lead to muscle tension). One study showed that workers with lower back pain found the workplace pain challenges were associated with activity interference, negative self-perceptions, interpersonal challenges and inflexibility of work.

 

There are some steps that can be taken to prevent back pain. By including a daily physical activity into your lifestyle, you can maintain your health and minimize stress on your back. Another way to prevent back pain is to pay attention to your posture. Good posture involves training your body to stand, walk, sit and lie in positions where the least strain is placed on supporting muscles and ligaments during movement or weight-bearing activities. Patients who are already suffering from work-related injuries should seek treatment through a chiropractor.
