To Massage or To Adjust: What Science Says
Massage First?
Getting a massage before your chiropractic adjustment might sound heavenly. According to a [study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics], massage therapy can improve blood flow and relax your muscles. This could potentially make your joints more pliable and receptive to an adjustment.
Chiropractic Adjustment First?
On the flip side, a [study in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine](https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/acm.2018.0353) suggests that chiropractic adjustments may alleviate tension and correct misalignments first, making the massage experience even more blissful.
