Massage
Combining massage with chiropractic treatment programs has been proven to accelerate the healing process and get patients pain free faster. Massage therapy is a natural treatment that relieves musculoskeletal pain for many patients. In addition to soft tissue therapies performed by Dr. Gregory, our office provides private on-site massage therapy that is tailored to treat the patient’s condition. The benefits of massage therapy include increasing blood circulation, reducing swelling, relaxing muscles, relieving muscle pain and spasms, and aids in recovery, function and mobility. Areas of training include Swedish relaxation massage, deep tissue, injury treatment, Cranial Sacral Therapy and therapeutic massage.
Sound Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (S.A.S.T.M.) Developed by Dr. Graston, “Graston Technique”.
Dr. Gregory is the only chiropractor to use this progressive therapy in San Mateo county! S.A.S.T.M. is utilized by the Stanford University Athletic Department for their athletes because it gets results. This technique uses specially designed instruments to separate and break down scar tissue that has accumulated in the body after an injury. Injuries cause acute or chronic pain, inflammation and decreased movement. After the treatment, there is an increase in mobility, cellular activity, fibroblastic activity and an accelerated amount of blood flow to and from the area. This promotes the healing process and allows the tissues to realign in the appropriate manner without knots or adhesions. After receiving this treatment, patients have less pain, improved mobility and are less likely to injure themselves in the future. Great for athletes or anyone with chronic reoccurring injuries!
