Massage Therapy

Here at Robinson Family Chiropractic, we believe in providing our patients with the best services available. One of these is massage therapy. Chiropractic massage therapy benefits our patients in multiple ways, including helping with musculoskeletal efficiency, reducing physical and emotional stress, and improving overall health. Chiropractic care in general is great for balancing the body’s nervous system and improving health, and chiropractic massage is a large part of the process.

 

Dr. Richard Robinson has put together a highly skilled team of massage therapists to provide with the most effective care. Massage therapy has a multitude of benefits: removing toxins in the body, increasing circulation, giving patients better flexibility in connective tissues and muscles, and helping with muscle spasms from certain physical injuries. Patients choose massage therapy in our chiropractic office for many reasons, whether it is ongoing pain after an injury or from physical stress from contact sports. Other patients visit us following a surgical procedure to promote swift healing through chiropractic massage therapy.

Electric Muscle Stimulation

If you are dealing with acute or chronic pain, electric muscle stimulation is often not the first treatment option presented to you, but it is effective. More common than that, people ignore their injury or try to prevent the pain with medication. At Robinson Family Chiropractic, we offer EMS treatment and have great success healing patient’s neck, back and joint pain.

EMS treatment mimics the body’s nervous system by sending low frequency electrical pulses to the affected area. This will cause he muscles to contract and increase the blood circulation to the area. By utilizing and encouraging the body’s natural healing mechanisms, Dr. Richard Robinson is able to drastically reduce patient’s dependence on medications and unnecessary surgeries to resolve painful symptoms.

EMS therapy is a great tool for patients with the following conditions:

• Carpal tunnel
• Muscle Atrophy
• Muscle Spasms
• Sciatica
• Sports Injuries
• Tennis Elbow
• Ulcers

EMS is a great tool for chiropractors.
