Most people look at mental health as “what’s your diagnosis?” instead of a state of being that we all have to rely on daily. The more aware of our mental and emotional states then the more we can dream, hope and live life to the fullest. Right now, this very moment can you tell what your mental state is in? There are many reasons and many ways you might not know, and that’s ok. In my practice as a chiropractor, I often help people decipher the feelings of pain and a lot of the emotions that come with it too. Physical and mental health go hand in hand and being aware takes practice. If you want more awareness or need help finding a place to start please don’t wait to reach out. You can find my contact information in the bio.

Not sure about whether you need a chiropractor, PT, or massage therapist? Start here ⏬

Chiropractic, physical therapy, and massage therapy each have their own focus and providers must hold the respective license in order to practice. While there is some overlap in what they do, how it’s done is what’s different.

🩻 Chiropractic (DC): Focuses on the spine and nervous system. Chiropractors use adjustments and complementary treatments to improve joint function and reduce pain. We earn a doctorate because we’re trained to evaluate neurologic/orthopedic function in order to diagnose, and manage musculoskeletal conditions. This means making referrals when necessary too.

🏃 Physical Therapy (PT): Focuses on movement, strength, and recovery. PTs use exercise, manual therapy, and rehab planning to restore function. They also hold doctorates due to their advanced training in biomechanics, injury recovery, and clinical decision-making.

💆 Massage Therapy (MT): Focuses on soft tissue work like muscles and fascia. It helps reduce tension, improve circulation, and support recovery.

There is overlap. Chiropractors and PTs both use manual techniques and rehab strategies. Massage therapists may also support pain relief and mobility. The difference is depth of training and primary focus, with each specialty bringing a specific expertise to care.

At some point, you may benefit from all three depending on your needs.
