Chiropractic Best With Massage and Physical Therapy

I have used chiropractic for years for a stiff neck or a sore back but I have found chiropractic most effective in conjunction with massage and physical therapy at Silver Strand Spine and Sport.  Dr. Tolmosoff has a very light touch so I'm not sore the next day from my adjustment.  Chiropractic gets joints moving that otherwise would not move even with regular exercise and makes a difference over time with my overall feeling of health.  I notice a feeling of being less limber and flexible if I go more than a week without an adjustment.  If I'm having acute symptoms of some kind.. migraine, severe dizziness or back/neck pain, I've found chiropractic often provides immediate relief.

Benefits of Massage

While the idea of massage always sounded great, actually doing it was something else.  I knew that once I started getting regular massages, I would be hooked and would never go back ...and that has proven to be true!  But I have no regrets because the benefit to my overall health and ability to be at my best each day is such an incredible payoff.   It seems that massage is now covered by more insurances so it is no longer reserved only for those with money to spend.  I have gone in to a massage with a massive migraine and have left one hour later, literally pain free.  And with no drugs required!  It's wonderful to see more merging of these therapies with with western medicine.

Accupuncture for the Inner Ear

Back to Accupuncture...in addition to Island Accupuncture doing wonderful things for my neck and achilles, she's also been WONDERFUL for an annoying inner ear problem.  Much of the concept of accupuncture is about drawing heat away from the inflamed or painful area, or in the case of the inner ear, tinnitis and dizziness.  I have had great success with accupuncture for this...I think it's time for me to make another appointment!
