Hockessin massage therapy

Therapeutic massage involves manipulation of the soft tissue structures of the body to prevent and alleviate pain, discomfort, muscle spasm, and stress.

It also improves functioning of the circulatory, lymphatic and nervous systems and may improve the rate at which the body recovers from injuries and illness. Massage comes in many forms, including:

  • Swedish - a gentle, relaxing massage
  • Pressure Point Therapy for specific disease or injuries - from trigger point and myotherapy to shiatsu and acupressure
  • Sports massage focuses on muscle groups relevant to a particular sport.

Massage is prescribed at our office for a wide range of medical conditions, including:

  • Allergies
  • Headache
  • Arthritis
  • Insomnia
  • Asthma and Bronchitis
  • Myofascial pain
  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  • Reduced range of motion
  • Chronic and Acute Pain
  • Sinusitis
  • Circulatory problems
  • Sports Injuries, including pulled or strained muscles & ligaments
  • Digestive Disorders, including spastic colon and constipation
  • Stress

Dr. Meier Asks some important questions of interest to Hockessin residents - Chiropractor Hockessin Dr. Meier Asks...

What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
What's your plan to deal with drug-resistant 'super germs'?
Chiropractors have always been concerned with the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, accelerating the mutation of microbes that make "wonder" drugs increasingly ineffective. My strategy? Do everything possible to bolster my immune system through proper diet, rest, exercise, clean air, pure water and an optimally functioning nervous system with regular chiropractic care.
