Massage Therapy in Levittown, NY
Massage therapy loosens the muscles that tighten around an injury. Tight muscles pull on the joints they attach to, so easing them helps an adjustment hold and makes the next one easier.
Sessions at Long Island Back & Neck Care are aimed at the problem you came in with, not a general spa massage. The therapist works on the areas the examination points to, whether that is the neck after whiplash or the hips and lower back with sciatica.
- Muscle tension and spasm
- Stiffness after an injury
- Stress held in the neck and shoulders
- Recovery between adjustments
Benefits of Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic massage improves blood flow to tight and injured tissue, reduces muscle spasm and helps restore normal movement. Patients often notice they can turn their head, bend or walk more easily after a session.
- Less muscle tension and spasm
- Better range of motion
- Faster recovery from strains and sprains
- Reduced stress and better sleep
- Longer-lasting results from chiropractic adjustments
Massage Therapy for Pain and Injury
Massage is a key part of care for back pain, neck pain, tension headaches and sports injuries. After an auto accident, it helps settle the muscle guarding that keeps the neck and back stiff.
Pressure and techniques are chosen for your injury and comfort level, ranging from gentle work on new injuries to deeper work on long-standing tightness.
Part of a Complete Treatment Plan
Massage therapy works best alongside adjustments, acupuncture and corrective exercises. For patients with chronic pain, it is often part of our pain management and rehabilitation program.
Massage Therapy FAQs
How is this different from a spa massage?
The goal is recovery from a specific problem. Pressure, focus and length are chosen for your injury, and the session is part of your treatment plan.
Will I be sore afterward?
Some soreness for a day is normal after work on injured muscles. Drinking water and staying lightly active helps. Tell the therapist during the session if the pressure is too much.
How often should I come in?
It depends on the injury. Some patients need a few sessions close together early on and fewer later, while others use massage as regular maintenance.
What should I wear to a massage session?
Wear comfortable clothing. Your therapist will explain what to expect and make sure you are comfortable and properly draped throughout the session.
Can massage help after a car accident?
Yes. Massage helps ease the muscle spasm and stiffness that often follow whiplash and other accident injuries.
Is massage therapy safe during pregnancy?
Often, yes, with positioning and pressure adjusted for pregnancy. Let us know if you are pregnant when you schedule.
Can I get a massage and an adjustment on the same day?
Yes. Many patients have massage right before an adjustment, since relaxed muscles make the adjustment easier and more comfortable.
