Massage therapy can provide numerous benefits to patients, especially when used alongside chiropractic treatments. At Gardens Health and Wellness, serving the West Palm Beach, Loxahatchee, and Palm Beach Gardens areas, our massage therapists strive to help patients recover from accidents and discover relief from stress. If you are looking for a drug-free way to feel less pain, we recommend massage therapy.

Many Benefits of Massage

Massage therapy helps a variety of people including patients who have been in an auto accident or who have suffered from another type of injury. It is also beneficial for people who experience pain and stiffness due to sitting in an office chair all day or from poor posture. Our therapists provide pain relief by improving the flow of blood around your muscles and improving your overall range of motion and flexibility. The therapy stretches the muscles, which eases stiffness and increases mobility.

Regular massages can also help speed the time it takes your body to heal and improve your immune system's functioning. After an injury, your muscles may have trouble removing waste products, which can slow healing. Regular massages at our West Palm Beach clinic help the muscles flush out toxins and wastes. The next time you are in for chiropractic care, such as a spinal adjustment or physical therapy, talk with our staff to find out how massages can benefit you.

Massage not only benefits patients who have suffered an injury. The therapy is also beneficial for patients who are feeling stressed or overwhelmed. It's an effective treatment option if you suffer from depression or anxiety. When you come in for a massage, you can completely relax while our therapists use either relaxation, Shiatsu, deep tissue or Swedish massage techniques on your muscles. During therapy at our clinic, you'll feel a connection to our trained therapists and will feel cared for and nurtured.

Non-surgical spinal decompression is a treatment option for patients who suffer from herniated or bulging discs and other spinal disc problems, such as sciatica or radiculopathy. Patients may want to explore spinal decompression as a treatment option following an accident or injury. Chiropractor Dr. Philip Scuderi performs the treatment on patients at Gardens Health and Wellness center in Palm Beach Gardens. Our center also treats patients in the surrounding West Palm Beach and Loxahatchee areas.

Pain Relief with Spinal Decompression

Spinal decompression stretches the spine using non-motorized traction. During the procedure, a distraction force is put on the problem area to slowly create areas of space between the vertebrae. There are also periods of relaxation during spinal decompression, which are necessary to create a vacuum, or areas of negative pressure, in the spine. The vacuum helps pull a slipped disc back into its place. The slow stretching of the spine improves the flow of oxygen, water and nutrients to the injured area, improving healing.

The procedure is gentle and less invasive than surgery. It is sometimes more effective than surgery for relieving back pain and other spinal problems. In some cases, non-surgical spinal decompression helps patients who have undergone failed back surgery finally find pain relief.

Who Can Benefit from Spinal Decompression?

The procedure can be performed to treat a range of ailments. At Gardens Health and Wellness in Palm Beach Gardens, our chiropractor employs decompression on patients who experience pain from sciatica, as well as pain from worn spinal discs and degenerative disc disease, which leads to bulging discs. Pain from sciatica can occur when a patient has a herniated disc or it can occur for a number of other reasons, such as muscle strain or injury. Spinal decompression is also useful for treating radiculopathy, or pain that occurs when a patient's nerve roots are injured or diseased.

Most patients need several sessions of spinal decompression therapy to completely treat their problems. A reduction in pain may be noticeable after the first treatment. Pain may be gone completely by the end of the therapy program.
