At Smith Wellness , we understand that optimal healing requires addressing both your joints and soft tissues. That’s why we incorporate clinical massage therapy into our comprehensive chiropractic care plans. Performed by our trained staff, these therapeutic massage sessions work in harmony with Dr. Smith’s adjustments to reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and help you achieve better, longer-lasting results.

What Makes Clinical Massage Different

Unlike spa massage focused on relaxation, clinical massage at our practice is goal-oriented and therapeutic. Our staff uses specific techniques targeted to your injury or condition, focusing on problem areas that need the most attention. These sessions are strategically timed within your chiropractic appointment to prepare your muscles for adjustments or to help your body integrate the work that’s been done.

How Massage Supports Your Recovery

Tight, tense muscles can affect how comfortably your joints move and may limit the effectiveness of chiropractic adjustments. By releasing muscle tension before your adjustment, clinical massage helps your body respond more readily to Dr. Smith’s work.

The increased blood flow may help warm the area and ease muscle tension. Many patients find that incorporating massage into their care plan helps them hold their adjustments longer and experience more sustained pain relief between visits.

Massage provides several benefits, including:

Chronic muscle tension and spasms
Sports injuries and overuse conditions
Auto accident injuries
Back and neck pain
Headaches related to muscle tension
Post-injury rehabilitation
Stress-related muscle tightness
Limited range of motion due to soft tissue restrictions

Integrated into Your Chiropractic Appointment

At Smith Wellness, clinical massage isn’t offered as a standalone service. Instead, it’s incorporated into your personalized chiropractic care plan whenever it supports your treatment and recovery. Dr. Smith determines when massage therapy will be most beneficial for your specific condition and treatment goals.

Some patients receive massage at every visit, while others may need it only during certain phases of their care. This integrated approach ensures that every element of your treatment works together to help you heal faster and feel better.

A Team Approach to Your Wellness

While Dr. Smith performs your chiropractic adjustments and may use other manual or soft tissue techniques, including the Graston Technique®, our skilled staff provides the clinical massage component of your care. This team approach allows us to provide comprehensive treatment efficiently, giving you the benefits of multiple therapeutic modalities in one convenient appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect at my first appointment?

Most first visits are targeted (especially if you’ve already had an exam). You’ll review the main goal, and then the session focuses on the tissues most closely related to your symptoms. Mild soreness may occur after deeper work and usually resolves quickly.

What types of massage do you offer?

Care is clinical and problem-based rather than relaxation-only. Sessions may include soft-tissue release, stretching, cupping, Graston®, ART®, and other hands-on methods tailored to your body’s needs.

How long are sessions, and what do they cost?

Most sessions are 30 minutes. Cost depends on whether it’s cash pay or insurance eligibility. The front desk can give clear pricing details when you call.

Are your therapists licensed or certified?

Massage is provided under Dr. Smith’s chiropractic license and informed by findings from your clinical exam. He delivers care alongside his long-time clinical partner, who brings extensive hands-on experience in a chiropractic setting.

How often should I book a massage for the best results?

Many people start weekly for a short period, then move to every two to four weeks. Your schedule depends on symptoms, how you respond, and what fits your routine.
