Chiropractic Massage

Chiropractic massage is used for improving overall health and increasing musculoskeletal efficiency. It has many beneficial effects on the body, including the removal of toxins and increased flexibility in the muscles and connective tissues. In addition, massage therapy is helpful with dealing with muscle spasms, soft tissue injuries and even eating and sleep disorders, which is why Dr. Richard Robinson offers it to our patients here at Robinson Family Chiropractic.

Chiropractic is known to help with a variety of issues, and massage therapy is an effective part of chiropractic treatments. It helps increase circulation, movement and balance and helps with a variety of conditions, including back pain, diabetes, high blood pressure, TMJ, arthritis, immune system issues, fibromyalgia and more. Massage therapy can help detoxify your body and improve your overall wellness, and when it is combined with regular chiropractic treatment, it is an effective form of preventative health maintenance.

If you are suffering from back pain, surgery recovery, eating and sleep disorders, high blood pressure or diabetes, massage therapy can help you. To receive the beneficial effects that massage therapy can have for you, schedule an appointment with our office by calling (847) 963-4894.

Hip Pain

Hip pain is a common condition that is experienced by our patients, though there are many different areas of the hip that are causing the pain. Some causes of hip pain we see include arthritis, bursitis, and fractures of the hip, tendon strain and muscle strain. Dr. Richard Robinson, Dr. Nicholas Cone and the entire team at Robinson Family Chiropractic provide chiropractic care to help relieve the pain and prevent further damage to the hip joint. In many situations, the hip pain is a result of the body being out of alignment.

 

The symptoms of hip pain not only include pain and stiffness in the hip, but also in the following areas of the body:

• Thigh
• Groin
• Buttocks
• Inside the hip joint
• Outside the hip joint

Chiropractic care helps our patients with hip pain through adjustments and manipulations, massage and preventative care. We locate the cause of the pain and use that to determine the best available treatment. We assess each case individually and work to prevent further pain episodes as much as possible. Call our offices today if you are need of some hip TLC! Rolling Meadows: 847-963-4894 and Algonquin 847-458-8444 or visit our website www.handsdoc.com.

Pain Management

Chiropractic care offered by Dr. Richard Robinson includes pain management assistance, which helps our patients find relief for their pain, whether chronic pain or following a trauma or injury. There are a myriad of pain that can benefit from chiropractic treatment including: shoulder, neck pain, back pain, headaches or migraines and sciatica pain. Through adjustments and manipulations, massage, and acupuncture, our team here at Robinson Family Chiropractic helps patients find the relief they have been looking for.

 

At our chiropractic office, we believe in providing treatments that go beyond treating just one area of the body, but encouraging the body to learn how to heal itself. By offering adjustments of the spine for chronic pain management, our patients not only find their primary pain gone, but over time, other pains and areas of discomfort also start disappearing. They are able to get this alternative treatment, as opposed to taking prescribed medications.

 

We also offer additional methods of pain management, including applying hot and cold packs, and showing our patients how to perform gentle exercises at home that help them ease their pain.

Trigger Point Massage

At Robinson Family Chiropractic, we offer a unique pain treatment known as Trigger Point Therapy. A trigger point is a small patch of tightly contracted muscle, an isolated spasm affecting just a small patch of muscle. That small patch of knotted muscle cuts off its own blood supply, which irritates it even more — a vicious cycle called “metabolic crisis.”

 

The length of time it takes to release a trigger point depends on several factors, one of which is how long you have had the condition. Other factors include the number of trigger points you have, how effective your current treatment is and how consistently you can administer or receive treatment.

The most common method for chiropractors is to apply pressure to the TP using the finger or thumb. This is a very effective way of treating trigger points; it also gives Dr. Robinson immediate feedback to see how the muscle is responding. Dr. Robinson applies the pressure for a few seconds until the trigger point disappears and the muscles to relax. This is followed by massage and has proven to be the least invasive technique for treatment of chronic pain. 

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!
