Deep Tissue Massage

Dr. Jay McClanahan of Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center, located in Nitro, WV, offers Deep Tissue Massage to our patients. This type of massage focuses on intense muscle manipulation instead of simple relaxation techniques. If you are suffering from muscle adhesions due to a chronic illness or injury, deep tissue massage can help.

A traditional massage has a variety of benefits. But when you have a specific area that needs help, deep tissue massage is best. These sore areas are caused by an injury or even whiplash resulting from an auto accident. It’s also beneficial to repetitive-strain injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, and inflammation. When other forms of treatment fail, deep tissue massage gives positive results to patients with muscle spasms, tenderness, and chronic pain.

You first need a consultation before receiving a deep tissue massage treatment. A certified massage therapist will examine you and your injuries. This helps them better understand what you’re hoping to achieve from your massage therapy. The massage therapist will then focus and apply pressure to the outlined area. This relaxes inflamed tissue while relieving pain. If you experience any discomfort during the massage let your therapist know.

Expect soreness after each session. Your massage therapist may recommend icing the injured area afterward. Overall, any discomfort should pass within a day or so.
