The basics
About massage therapy
Massage therapy is hands-on manual care that presses, kneads, and stretches the soft tissues — the muscles, tendons, and ligaments that surround and support your spine and joints. When those tissues are tight, knotted, or inflamed, they pull joints out of their natural motion and keep pain lingering. Therapeutic massage relaxes the tissue, improves circulation, and helps the body heal more of the way it was designed to.
Chiropractic massage is not the same as a spa massage. Rather than general relaxation, it is targeted at the problem areas driving your back pain, neck pain, headaches, or joint stiffness, and it is planned to work alongside your adjustments. Loosening tight muscles before or after an adjustment often helps the correction hold longer and feel more comfortable.
For patients across Charlotte, NC, massage is most effective as one piece of a complete care plan. Dr. Craig Schulman may recommend it together with [chiropractic care](/services/chiropractic-care/), [myofascial release](/services/myofascial-release-therapy/), or rehab so your muscles and joints are working together toward lasting relief — not just a temporary feel-good hour.

“I came into Dr. Schulman's office with severe sciatica pain, heel pain on right, and such a tight neck that I couldn't sleep at night from throbbing aches and pains. Now that I've been seeing Dr. Schulman for 3 months now, I'm running with my dogs again, and getting back into the gym without any back or neck pain. Best decision I ever made for self care! Highly recommend!”
