Seminole Chiropractic Wellness Center, chiropractor Dr. Randal Butch helps St. Petersburg patients feel their best by combining chiropractic treatment with massage therapy and physical therapy. Seminole massage therapy benefits patients by improving blood circulation around the muscles and by helping the muscles relax. Relaxed muscles help injuries heal more quickly and improve the benefits of other treatments.

Massage and Chiropractic Care

Swedish massage is one type of therapy that uses long, deep strokes to ease tension in the muscles. Patients suffering from a sports related injury may benefit from a form of massage therapy designed to specifically treat injuries suffered by athletes. Other massage types include deep tissue massage and trigger point massage, which help patients who suffer from muscle spasms or injury.

Dr. Butch commonly uses the Palmer Technique to treat patients at our clinic. The Palmer Technique allows Dr. Butch to accurately adjust a patient's spine to correct subluxations or misalignments. A misaligned spine may be a predominant cause of nerve pain and stiffness.

At our clinic, Dr. Butch combines the Palmer method of chiropractic care with massage and physical therapies. Using massage for pain relief and to speed healing, along with chiropractic adjustments, helps a patient recover and feel his or her best without the need for pain medications or invasive surgery. Both chiropractic care and massage encourage the body to heal itself.

Massage is not only for patients who have suffered an injury. Those who want to improve their overall wellness, such as by seeking nutritional counseling and lifestyle advice from our chiropractor, can also benefit from the treatment.
