Why You Should Get Percussion Therapy from Your Chiropractor

A chiropractor can utilize different tools and techniques to provide the relief their patients need. In some cases, they may use massage therapy to treat their patients. Here at the Advanced Chiropractic Group, we often rely on chiropractic massage during treatment sessions. You can visit our clinic in Santa Barbara, CA, if you wish to try our therapeutic massage.

We also offer a form of treatment known as percussion therapy. If you haven’t heard of it before, now is the time to change that. Continue below to learn more about percussion therapy and why you should get it from your chiropractor.

What Is Percussion Therapy?

Percussion therapy is a type of therapeutic massage that utilizes a specially designed massage gun. Once the massage gun is activated, it begins applying consistent pressure. The pressure is accompanied by vibrations.

This particular form of massage therapy relies on both the pressure and the vibrations to provide the relief that the recipient needs. As the pressure penetrates your body and engages your soft tissues, the vibrations radiate from the point of contact to keep your body nice and loose.

Massage guns used for percussion therapy provide different speed options. Turn the speed up if you want to intensify the pressure and the vibrations. If you’re already feeling a bit sore and just want a gentle massage, feel free to turn the speed down.

Percussion massage is good for pain relief and improving the range of motion. It also helps warm your body up if you’re about to engage in strenuous activities.

The Benefits of Chiropractic Massage Performed with a Percussion Massage Gun

You can get a massage gun and start experiencing the benefits of percussion therapy right from the comfort of your own home. However, there’s a case to be made that this particular type of massage therapy is still best provided by a chiropractor.

For starters, a chiropractor is better equipped to maximize the therapeutic potential of a massage gun. After you tell them about the particular injury you’re dealing with, they can use the massage gun to provide the targeted relief you need. They know exactly where to position the massage gun to deliver your desired results.

A chiropractor can also determine when it is and isn’t wise to use the massage gun. Some injuries may get worse from the significant pressure and vibration provided by that instrument. Your chiropractor can offer an alternative form of treatment in that scenario.

Also, the effects of percussion therapy can be enhanced by chiropractic techniques. If you want to recover faster, going to the chiropractor remains your best option.
