Therapeutic massage for tight, painful muscles
Focused, hands-on work on the muscles holding your pain and tension, on its own or alongside chiropractic care.
What therapeutic massage is
Therapeutic massage is massage with a clinical goal: easing a sore back, loosening a stiff neck, helping an injured area move again. Your therapist asks what's bothering you, checks how you move, and works on those areas, with pressure you're comfortable with.
Massage through the VA
The VA covers massage therapy from community providers when your VA care team approves it. Ask for a referral for massage therapy specifically; it's separate from a chiropractic referral.
Questions
Will it hurt?
Therapeutic massage can feel firm, but it shouldn't be painful. Tell your therapist and they'll change the pressure.
How often should I come?
It depends on what you're working on. Your therapist will suggest a plan after your first session.
