How Deep Tissue Therapy Works
Pain can be caused in a variety of ways. Whether you've been injured in an accident, play sports, have a chronic condition, or the pain has simply built up over time, chiropractic care can be the right choice for you. At Peterson Chiropractic in Durham, NC, we offer various treatment options to help relieve your pain. Our deep tissue therapy can be beneficial for alleviating pain and restoring strength to your body's tissues and muscles.
What Is Deep Tissue Therapy?
Deep tissue therapy is a type of massage that works to heal the tissues under your skin. A traditional Swedish massage is more relaxing and works more on the surface level. Deep tissue therapy is often recommended for chiropractic patients because of its ability to relax, strengthen, and heal the tissues and muscles surrounding your pain areas. In addition, it is often suggested as a recovery method after adjustments and physical therapy.
Who Needs Deep Tissue Therapy?
Although deep tissue therapy can be beneficial for anyone that's feeling pain, we often recommend it for our chiropractic patients. Athletes find this treatment especially helpful when recovering from workouts to avoid straining the muscles and causing pain or issues that can prevent you from competing. Those who spend a lot of time sitting or standing for work are also prone to pain. This pain can be healed through chiropractic care and deep tissue therapy. Many of our physical therapy patients will also receive targeted deep tissue treatment during their sessions that focus on treating the affected area.
Your First Consultation
Before we can get started with deep tissue therapy, we'll first want to meet with you for a consultation. During this appointment, we will discuss a possible treatment plan for your pain, try a few exercises to determine your range of motion, and maybe even take an x-ray. Then, our doctor will provide a quick adjustment to help relieve any pain until you can return. Before you leave, we will schedule a follow-up appointment to go over the treatment plan a few days later. Depending on the accepted plan, we'll schedule further adjustments, physical therapy, and deep tissue therapy as necessary. Please prepare to spend about one hour in our office during your first consultation.
