Massage Therapy

We have a licensed massage therapist on staff at Optimal Health Center.  We believe it is vitally important to work with the muscles surrounding the spine as well as the structure of the spine itself.  If the structure of the underlying bones is misaligned (Subluxation) it will cause irregular pulling and stretching of the muscles, in addition to nerve interference.  This is most often demonstrated when you keep getting the same muscle knots and tension in the same areas over and over.  Many people have even had massages in the past only to have the tension and knots return within a day or two. 

It is also true that if there is tension and cramping in the muscles it can cause the structure (spine and bones) to misalign.  Because the muscles and structure are linked in a mutual working relationship, we at Optimal Health Center work on both.  We use Chiropractic adjustments to unlock the spine and joints while also utilizing massage and simple postural and spinal exercises to allow the body to heal.  This approach allows us to address the cause of most people's pain and tension and not just temporarily cover up their symptoms.  We feel our methods allow our patients to heal much quicker and also hold their adjustments and results much longer.  Our ultimate goal is to Equip and Empower our patients to Live their Lives without limits!

If you want a Healthy Body, you must have a Healthy Spine.

 Dr. Jim Asks some important questions of interest to Tempe residents - Chiropractor Tempe Dr. Jim Asks...

What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
How long does it take to form a bone spur?
Many who begin chiropractic care think their problem happened "last week when you bent over funny." But pictures of the spine tell a different story. Chiropractors know it can take your body years to deposit the calcium necessary to form a bone spur. It's your body's response to stress due to gravity or joint malfunction. And chiropractic care can help.
