Massage Therapy in Knoxville Enhances Pain Relief & Restores Mobility

Our chiropractor in Knoxville Dr. Nathan Leavitt frequently integrates massage therapy into chiropractic treatment plans for enhanced pain relief, faster recovery after an injury, and natural stress relief. Therapeutic massage is a natural complement to chiropractic care. Adjustments from our Knoxville chiropractor alleviate nerve and muscle compression and restore correct alignment to the spine. However, even when the spine is properly aligned, if the body’s muscles remain stiff, this stiffness will continue to restrict mobility, increase tension and exacerbate pain. Massage therapy releases the tension trapped deep within the muscles, relieving pain and bringing a fuller range of mobility back to the body.

Just like chiropractic care, all of our massage therapy treatments are specially tailored to meet your specific health and wellness needs. We offer a wide variety of massage styles, including deep tissue massage and myofascial release for pain management, sports massage for injury rehabilitation, and Swedish massage for stress management. Our licensed massage therapist works closely with our Knoxville chiropractor to ensure your message treatments enhance any chiropractic adjustments you are currently receiving and support your long-term wellness goals.

Massage Therapy in Knoxville for Back Pain

Our licensed massage therapist is specially trained to treat chronic pain. Drawing on a variety of massage styles, including deep tissue massage and myofascial release, our massage therapist will target tension that is trapped deep within the body’s tissues.  This tension causes the muscles to tighten and contract, exacerbating pain. Muscles can become “stuck” in unhealthy movement patterns. Massage lengthens the muscle tissue and relaxes the muscles, relieving chronic pain and teaching these muscles new movement patterns.

Knoxville Sports Massage & Injury Rehabilitation

After an injury, muscles can become tense, contract and shorten, which limits the body’s natural range of motion. Rubbing, kneading and stretching sore or stiff muscle tissue releases this tension, restoring a fuller range of mobility to the body. Massage injured muscle tissue also helps to improve circulation. This brings oxygen-rich blood to the muscles and flushes out toxins like lactic acid, which otherwise block the healing process and increase the risk for scar tissue formation. Regular sports massage is beneficial for patients of all fitness abilities. Whether you are training for a race PR or simply want to get back in the game after an injury, our Knoxville massage therapy can safely accelerate the recovery process.

Knoxville Massage for Stress Relief

When our bodies are under constant stress, they exist in a constant state of “fight or flight” and become overloaded with the stress hormone cortisol. Emotionally, we struggle with constant stress and anxiety. Physically, our muscles become trapped in a constant state of tension. Massage addresses both the physical and emotional problems associated with chronic stress states.

Whether you are struggling with chronic back and neck pain, feeling stressed, or frustrated with your body’s slow recovery after an injury, massage therapy in Knoxville can make a difference for your health. Start your wellness journey today: call (865) 287-5904 to schedule your appointment.
