What You Get Beyond Relaxation

You walk out feeling genuinely different. Not just relaxed for an hour, but with real improvement in how your body moves and feels.

The tension that’s been building in your shoulders for months starts to release. Your neck actually turns without that sharp catch. Sleep comes easier because your muscles aren’t fighting you all night.

This isn’t about temporary relief that wears off by Tuesday. When massage therapy targets the root of muscle tension and works alongside your body’s healing systems, the benefits compound over time.

Chiropractic Massage Lowell MI

25 Years of Getting It Right

Dr. James Heath opened Chiropractic First in 1998, and we’ve been serving Lowell and surrounding communities ever since. That’s a quarter-century of understanding what actually works for people dealing with pain and stress.

We’re not the practice that treats everyone exactly the same way. Every person who walks through our door gets evaluated individually, because your body and your pain are unique to you.

You won’t find us pushing unnecessary treatments or cookie-cutter programs. Massage therapy here is designed to complement your overall wellness plan, not complicate it.

Wellness Care Lowell Michigan

Simple Process, Proven Results

First, we listen. You tell us what’s bothering you, how long it’s been going on, and what you’ve already tried. No rushing, no assumptions.

Then we assess. Our massage therapists work closely with Dr. Heath to understand exactly what your body needs. Sometimes massage works best before chiropractic adjustments to relax tight muscles. Sometimes it’s more effective afterward to help your body adapt to changes.

During treatment, we adjust pressure and techniques based on what your body responds to. Deep tissue for chronic tension, Swedish massage for stress relief, or targeted work on specific problem areas.

What's Included in Your Care

Your massage therapy session is part of a comprehensive approach to wellness. We coordinate with chiropractic care to maximize your results and minimize the time it takes to feel better.

In Lowell, we see a lot of people whose pain stems from desk jobs, physical work, or the stress of juggling family and career demands. Our massage therapy addresses these real-world causes, not just symptoms.

You get professional therapeutic massage that’s designed to work with your specific condition. Whether you’re dealing with chronic neck pain from computer work, back tension from lifting, or just the accumulated stress of daily life, we tailor the approach to what you actually need.

How does massage therapy work with chiropractic treatment?

Massage therapy and chiropractic care complement each other perfectly. When your muscles are relaxed through massage, chiropractic adjustments are more effective and comfortable.Massage before an adjustment helps loosen tight muscles that might be pulling your spine out of alignment. After an adjustment, massage helps your muscles adapt to their new positions, making the benefits last longer.Many of our patients find that combining both treatments gives them better results than either one alone. The massage prepares your body for the chiropractic work, and the chiropractic work helps maintain the improvements from massage.

What types of massage therapy do you offer?

We offer therapeutic massage tailored to your specific needs rather than a menu of preset options. Our massage therapists assess what your body needs and adjust their techniques accordingly.This might include deep tissue work for chronic muscle tension, gentler Swedish massage techniques for stress relief and circulation, or targeted pressure point work for specific problem areas.The goal isn’t to fit you into a category, but to provide exactly what will help your particular situation. We coordinate with Dr. Heath to ensure your massage therapy supports your overall treatment plan.

How often should I get massage therapy?

The frequency depends on your specific condition and goals. For acute issues like recent injury or severe tension, you might benefit from more frequent sessions initially.For ongoing wellness and stress management, many patients find monthly massage therapy works well to maintain their progress and prevent problems from building up again.We don’t believe in unnecessary long-term commitments. We’ll recommend a schedule based on what your body actually needs, and adjust it as you improve. Some people need intensive care at first, then taper to maintenance. Others do well with consistent monthly sessions from the start.

Can massage therapy help with stress and anxiety?

Absolutely. Massage therapy has proven benefits for both physical and mental stress. When your muscles relax, your nervous system gets the message that it’s safe to calm down.Regular massage increases serotonin levels, which helps with mood and sleep quality. It also reduces cortisol, the stress hormone that keeps your body in fight-or-flight mode.Many of our Lowell patients tell us that massage therapy helps them sleep better, feel less anxious, and handle daily pressures more easily. The physical relief translates into mental relief, and vice versa.

Do you accept insurance for massage therapy?

Insurance coverage for massage therapy varies by plan and depends on whether it’s prescribed as part of medical treatment. We’ll help you understand what your specific insurance covers.Many patients find that even when massage isn’t fully covered, the cost is worth it for the relief and improved quality of life they experience.We’re upfront about costs and will work with you to create a treatment plan that fits your budget. Sometimes fewer, more targeted sessions are more effective than frequent treatments that strain your finances.

What should I expect during my first massage therapy session?

Your first session starts with a conversation about your health history, current symptoms, and what you hope to achieve. We need to understand your body and your goals before we start treatment.We’ll explain what we’re doing and why, and check in with you about pressure and comfort level throughout the session. You should never feel like you have to endure pain or discomfort.After the session, we’ll discuss what we found, how your body responded, and what we recommend moving forward. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your treatment plan and realistic expectations about your progress.
