Chiropractic and massage therapies are focused on pain relief and bodily alignment, which restores the body to its natural, healthy state through a series of physical adjustments. Many new patients may not be familiar with chiropractic medicine or the benefits of massage therapy, which is why all are encouraged to engage in a consultation prior to receiving treatment for the first time. Dr. Garrett will perform diagnosis to determine which of the available treatments would be most beneficial. Following diagnosis, chiropractic adjustments and massage therapy can be performed onsite. Dr. Garrett works closely with his patients and staff to design a specific course of treatment which may involve massage and chiropractic techniques for the relief of neck pain and back pain, and to facilitate pain management for more complicated conditions.

Massages prescribed by Dr. Garrett are intended as a functional, effective tool in fighting pain symptoms and treating the underlying causes of pain, making massage therapy a powerful ally in the chiropractic treatment spectrum. A number of conditions can benefit from combined massage and chiropractic therapy, such as injury rehabilitation, where treatments reduce swelling and improve blood flow.
