Muscle injury can significantly affect your way of life. The healing process can take a long time, and the pain associated with it can be prolonged. Massage therapy can be very beneficial in helping ease the pain and expedite the recovery process. To get started, here are some helpful tips from our Chiropractor on how you should approach massage therapy.
Consult Your Primary Physician
When experiencing a muscle injury, it is important to first consult your primary physician. Your primary physician can help diagnose the type of injury you have. Be sure to ask what are options to help you ease the pain. Your doctor should be able to give you a referral to a specialist that can help you further, like a Chiropractor.
Consult Your Medical Insurance Company
As soon as you’ve gotten your clear diagnosis and referral from your primary physician, find out what type of medical coverage you’re eligible for through your medical insurance company. This can help you plan ahead for any out-of-pocket expenses that can incur throughout this whole process.
Consult Your Local Chiropractor
Visit or contact your local Chiropractor to schedule your initial visit. Be sure to ask questions about the type of treatment, rehabilitation, and any other info that can help you make progress. Some Chiropractic practices often have a staff massage therapist, while others can help refer you to a specialized one.
Consistency and Proactivity
Once you’ve been assigned your massage schedule, stay consistent with each session and be proactive with your massage therapist’s advice and recommendations. Also, be consistent with your regular Chiropractor visits.
