Massage at The $35 Chiropractor is hands on soft tissue care that reduces muscle tension, restores range of motion and supports your chiropractic treatment. We focus on practical results you can feel the same week, whether you need relaxation, recovery from a workout, or help with chronic neck or back tension.
What our massage service includes
We provide one on one sessions delivered by trained massage therapists working with our chiropractic team. A typical visit includes a focused intake to learn your history and goals, an exam of relevant movement and posture, a hands on treatment tailored to your needs, and simple follow up recommendations you can use at home. We use techniques such as Swedish massage for general relaxation, targeted therapeutic techniques to address trigger points and tight muscles, and myofascial release concepts when connective tissue restriction is present.
Massage is often combined with other treatments we offer, including our chiropractic adjustments and pain relief therapies. For more on the clinical side of muscle problems, see our topic on soft tissue dysfunction.
Benefits of therapeutic massage
- Reduced muscle tension and fewer painful knots that limit movement
- Improved joint range of motion and flexibility, which helps with daily activities
- Enhanced recovery after sports or repetitive activity through increased local circulation
- Better integration with chiropractic care to sustain alignment and reduce recurrent pain
- Relaxation and stress reduction that supports sleep and recovery
Who benefits from massage here
People who commonly benefit include:
- Those with chronic neck or shoulder tightness after desk work
- Athletes needing post workout recovery or pre event preparation
- People recovering from soft tissue strains where manual therapy is appropriate
- Patients receiving chiropractic care who want to maintain mobility between adjustments
- Anyone wanting safe, professional hands on care for muscle related pain
Our process for a massage session
- Quick intake. We review your main complaint, medical history, current medications and any recent imaging or doctor notes so we know what to avoid and what to prioritize.
- Movement screening. We assess posture and basic range of motion to identify stiff joints and tight muscle groups that are limiting function.
- Treatment plan. We explain which techniques we will use and how they support your overall care, including whether massage will be integrated with chiropractic adjustments or other therapies like back pain treatment.
- Hands on care. The therapist uses pressure, stretching and targeted release to reduce tension. We monitor your response and modify pressure and technique as needed.
- Home recommendations. We finish with short mobility exercises, self release strategies and positioning tips so you keep progress between visits.
Pro tip: Tell us about pressure that feels too light or too deep during the session. Clear feedback helps us choose the right technique and prevents soreness afterward.
What good work looks like
After a productive session you should notice looser movement through the treated area and less sharp or limiting pain. Good work also leaves you with clear, simple actions to maintain the gains, for example two brief mobility exercises and one self release technique you can use at home. When massage is paired with adjustments or targeted therapies, we track progress over several visits and adjust the plan based on how you respond.
Precautions and when massage may not be appropriate
Massage is safe for many people, but it is not always the right first step. Let us know about recent fractures, open wounds, active infections, or a history of blood clots. If you have a complex medical condition we will coordinate care with your primary provider. When in doubt, we recommend discussing safety with your physician before hands on treatment.

Frequently asked questions
What should I expect during my first massage visit?
Your first visit includes an intake, a movement check, the treatment session and simple home recommendations. Expect a mix of hands on work and guided movements. We will tailor pressure and technique to your needs.
How long is a typical session?
Session lengths vary by treatment goals. We offer focused sessions for specific complaints and longer sessions for full body therapeutic work. We will recommend a session length when we review your history.
Can massage help persistent neck or back pain?
Massage can reduce muscle guarding and improve mobility, which often helps neck and back problems. For persistent pain we combine massage with chiropractic adjustments and targeted therapies for a coordinated plan.
Do I need a referral from a doctor?
Most patients do not need a medical referral to receive massage. If you have a complex medical condition, we may ask you to get clearance from your physician first so we can provide safe care.
Is massage covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by plan and condition. We can provide documentation of clinical findings and the services provided for you to submit to your insurer, but you should check your policy for specific coverage details.
