Massage therapy, one of the most underrated fields in health, is one of the four important components of care at our practice. Despite popular understanding, massage therapy is used for more than just relaxing the body and mind. Medically trained and practiced massage therapists use their knowledge and understanding of the body's anatomy to reduce inflammation, restore symmetry, break up scar tissues, and release trigger points on over sensitive nerves. These techniques give us the results of improved range of motion, reduced pain, and better daily quality of living.

Cervical Facet Joint Syndrome is classified as a degenerative disorder that comes with aging. BUT, it's true that there really is no cause without effect. Old injuries, even subtle traumatic injuries, leave our spines weakened, misaligned, and ready for issues down the road.
