Medical Massage
ARE YOU EXPERIENCING PAIN AFTER HAVING BEEN IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT?
It is not uncommon for car accidents to cause muscular pain and headaches with whiplash to the neck being the most common injury that results from a car accident. Early treatment to your body can prevent future pain and problems.
Your auto insurance may cover the treatment you need following a car accident – regardless who was at fault for the accident. This coverage allows you to be treated for your auto accident related injuries with a simple referral from your chiropractor or medical doctor.
Immediately after a car accident, M.M.T & C.S.T can help you recover by helping to restore balance to your autonomic nervous system, i.e. the relaxation benefits of these medical therapies can help reverse the effects that the shock and trauma of a car wreck can have on your nervous system.
M.M.T & C.S.T also promote circulation of both blood and lymph, which can help manage the swelling (edema) that usually comes with auto accident injuries. During the sub-acute stage (a few days to a few weeks, or even longer, after the accident), M.M.T & C.S.T can help maintain and improve range of motion and may help prevent the formation of scar tissue and other myofascial adhesions.
MEDICAL MASSAGE THERAPY
Medical massage is a term that refers to special techniques used when massage is part of the overall treatment of medical problems stemming from trauma to the body from injury related to an auto accident, sports injury, work-related injury, illness and focuses on addressing the affected area(s).
We specialize in applying these manual therapy techniques under the prescription from either a medical, osteopathic, physical therapist and/or a chiropractic doctor.
According to the American Medical Massage Association (AMMA), medical massage is:
“A system of manually applied techniques designed to reduce pain, establish normal tissue tension, create a positive tissue environment and to normalize the movement of the musculoskeletal system. Medical massage is a scientifically based method of manual therapy that seeks a clear understanding of the scientific priciples of physiology that affect connective and soft tissue healing and treatment.”

Neuromuscular Re-education
N.M.R is vital to regain strength, flexibility and movement after auto accidents, injury or illness. Neuromuscular re-education implies a way of teaching an individual to fire the right number of neurons at the right time for the correct duration of time. It’s tricky business getting the timing, balance, and strength all coordinated. We find the best way to accomplish this is to use Craniosacral Therapy to support the brain’s natural ability to heal.
