Kirkland Massage Therapy Manages Pain Naturally

Whether pain strikes suddenly or naturally builds up over time, it can be debilitating and profoundly affect your ability to live a full and rewarding life. Unfortunately, traditional medical treatments focus on managing pain symptoms with medication, rather than healing and wellness. At Healthquest Chiropractic and Wellness Center, we understand that as a pain sufferer, you don’t just want to “cover up” your pain with medication. Massage therapy, in combination with treatment from a chiropractor, can help your body heal and restore a full range of motion. Our certified massage therapists Katie Sullivan, LMP and Kristen Kohler, LMP provide healing massage treatments that are tailored to your individual needs, relieving pain, promoting healing and restoring whole body wellness.

Kirkland Massage Therapy Promotes Healing & Relieves Pain

Kirkland Massage Therapy is chosen by patients like you (or doctor directed by us) because it offers a real, drug-free solution to their pain. From chronic low back pain and persistent headache to pregnancy pain, our patients don’t want to be doped up on medication. Instead, they choose Kirkland massage therapy, a natural, conservative therapy that relieves musculoskeletal pain while promoting healing. Following a Kirkland massage treatment, your entire body is in better alignment and balance, and you will enjoy greater flexibility and range of motion.

Over time, toxins like lactic acid can build up in our muscles. When we suffer an injury, these toxins prevent our muscles and joints from properly healing. Our Kirkland massage therapists use a combination of gentle strokes and deep kneading to invigorate your muscle tissue. This brings fresh, oxygen-rich blood into your muscles, flushing out toxins and promoting healing.

During a massage, your body and mind relax. You may notice a decrease in your heart rate and breathing rate, and you will feel calm and centered. Your blood pressure will also drop, and the production of stress hormones, such as cortisol, decreases. By relaxing your body, tension is naturally released from your muscles, reducing the painful spasms, contractions and nerve compression that aggravate back and neck pain.

A treatment with our massage therapists typically lasts between 60 to 90 minutes. Each treatment is tailored to your individual needs. Based on your injury or pain source, our Docotr will direct your massage therapist tol use a variety of techniques to promote healing in your muscles, tendons and ligaments.

We also offer massage treatments for expectant mothers in Kirkland. During pregnancy, your body experiences many physical and hormonal changes, which can lead to the development of pain in your back and neck. Our trained therapists provide specialized massage care to relive this pain. Many women choose to continue these treatments following the birth of their children because massage helps their bodies recover faster from giving birth.

Regular massage treatments are an important part of any wellness program. Even if you are lucky enough not to suffer from chronic pain, massage treatments can promote internal health and help prevent injury. We believe prevention is the best medicine, and encourage everyone to enjoy the benefits of regular massage therapy.

Our Kirkland chiropractor, Dr. William Marson, offers patients a wide range of treatment for back pain, sciatica, neck pain, headache, whiplash and pregnancy pain. We believe in a whole body approach to wellness. Our non-invasive treatments, such as chiropractic care, do not just provide symptom relief—they also promote healing and help our patients live full, pain free lives.
