Enhance Chiropractic Care & Wellness with Massage Therapy

Welcome to Total Body Chiropractic, your trusted destination for chiropractic and massage therapy in Bend, Oregon. If you’re living with chronic pain, muscle tension or limited mobility, our integrated holistic approach may be exactly what you need. By combining the healing benefits of chiropractic adjustments with targeted therapeutic massage, we help reduce discomfort, restore alignment and support your overall well-being.

Massage therapy isn’t just a luxury—it’s a powerful tool that works hand-in-hand with chiropractic care. Together, they make a big difference in how your body feels and functions. In our clinic, we’ve seen this combination help patients find pain relief more quickly, heal more fully and improve overall health.

What Is Massage Therapy in a Chiropractic Setting?

At Total Body Chiropractic, our chiropractic massage focuses on your soft tissues—muscles, ligaments and tendons—to support joint health and restore balance throughout your body. It isn’t a spa massage. This manual therapy is therapeutic, precise and research-based, designed to ease muscle tension that can pull your joints out of proper alignment or limit your movement.

We often use soft tissue techniques before or after chiropractic adjustments. That way, both the structural and muscular sides of your discomfort are addressed. With this whole-body approach, you get results that last—not just temporary relief.

Choosing massage therapy in a chiropractic setting also means your treatment is personalized. Each session supports your body’s natural ability to heal, with the goal of helping you feel more flexible, more comfortable and more balanced.

How Massage Therapy Boosts Chiropractic Care

Massage therapy isn’t just about relaxation—it strengthens the effects of chiropractic treatment and helps it last longer. At Total Body Chiropractic, we carefully combine both treatments to get the best results for your specific needs.

Here’s how massage works hand-in-hand with chiropractic care:

• Relaxes Muscle Tension: Tight muscles can pull your spine out of position or make adjustments harder to hold. Massage loosens them, making your adjustments smoother and more effective.
• Improves Circulation: Better blood flow delivers more oxygen and nutrients to your tissues, helping your body heal faster.
• Increases Flexibility & Range of Motion: Less stiffness means more mobility—so you can move better, hold good posture and feel stronger.
• Supports Injury Recovery: Whether from sports, a car accident or daily wear and tear, massage helps reduce inflammation and scar tissue, speeding up healing.
• Reduces Stress & Supports the Nervous System: Relaxing the body calms the nervous system, which improves how your spine and nerve function.

Together, massage and chiropractic care target the root causes of pain—not just the symptoms—so your body heals and stays aligned longer.
