What is the difference between me seeing a Chiro or a Physio or even a Masseuse?
Both Physiotherapy and Massage Therapy are generally directed towards treating and relieving pain in the muscles and can often miss any underlying issues or the cause of the problem. You may feel better temporarily but the pain or discomfort will soon return as what seems like ‘muscle pain’ is more the result of a stressed or misaligned joint (subluxation) in the body. As these bones are subluxated they put pressure on surrounding nerve endings irritating local tissues and muscles. As they remain dysfunctional they further aggravate the muscles attached to these bones and joints creating more muscle pain. A good Chiropractor will look at both the muscles and the bones.
