Massage Therapy

Massage Therapy is a rapidly growing addition to health and fitness routines, and an effective complement to other health care services. Many people seek therapeutic massage as a natural means to promote healthy body functioning, and to enhance the body's own restorative powers.

The most common reasons for getting a massage are:
  • General Relaxation
  • Revitalization
  • Relieve Sore or Tight Muscles
  • Relieve Tension Headaches
  • Recover from Sports Activities
  • General Health and Fitness
  • Improve Circulation
  • Complement Other Health Care

Most important is that therapeutic massage is an age-old remedy which has proven to be an effective complement to Chiropractic care. Problems in the muscular-skeletal system can impede the natural healing process, and often cause dysfunction and pain. Most chiropractic doctors would agree that it is important to treat soft tissue such as muscles and tendons to help prevent and correct subluxation, and lessen the accompanying pain.

Together, chiropractic and massage provide you with a more complete and effective system of health care.

Dr. Diane  Asks some important questions of interest to Shreveport residents - Chiropractor Shreveport Dr. Diane Asks...

Why does chiropractic work?
Chiropractic works because your nervous system, consisting of your brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of your body, controls and regulates every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. A chiropractor locates and reduces areas of nervous system compromise (usually along the spine) so your capacity to heal is restored. Chiropractic works by helping your body work as it was designed.
Where do most Shreveport residents get their first vertebral subluxation?
Being born in a hospital is a common source of vertebral subluxation. Trauma from forceps delivery has been replaced with drugs, vacuum extraction, Cesarean section and births that are "scheduled" to fit the workweek routines of Ob-Gyns. That's why we recommend a chiropractic checkup for every Shreveport newborn.
