Massage Therapy

This department can be utilized independently or as part of a holistic treatment plan.

Massage therapy is the manipulation of muscle and connective tissue to enhance the function of those tissues, increase circulation and promote relaxation and well-being. Therapeutic massage can ease tension and reduce pain. Massage can be a part of physical therapy or practiced on its own. It can also be highly effective for reducing the symptoms of arthritis, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other disorders of the muscles and/or nervous system.

Patient Testimonies:

1.  What was it like before you came in to see us?

I had a lot of pressure and pain in the base of my neck on both sides. Also, I had pain along my left shoulder blade. I was in a lot of pain.

2.  How is it now?

Due to chiropractic and massage therapy, I have seen relief. The pressure and tightness are gone. This has lasted for a week to 90 days. I feel a lot better after treatment.

Before coming to CFHM I had severe pressure and pain in my ears and often had dizziness. Also for the past 35 years I have had extremely high blood pressure. I was unable to get it below 160/95 even with medications.

2.  How is it now?

Now after acupuncture and massage treatments with Dr. James, Clare, and the staff at CFHM the pain and pressure in my ears is gone and no more dizziness. My blood pressure now stays at or below 120/60 on the average but still with medication.
