Massage

• Swedish Massage
  As your Tacoma chiropractor we want to help you relieve tension in your muscles while boosting your physical health. Here at Proctor Chiropractic we offer relaxation massage, deep tissue, and Swedish massage as part of our massage therapy services. Contact our office today at 253-756-7500 to take advantage of our new client special that includes a free chiropractic consultation in Tacoma.
• Deep Tissue Massage
  At Proctor Chiropractic, our massage therapists offer deep tissue massage. Deep tissue massage is a bit different than your standard massage therapy. This type of massage targets the deepest layers of your muscles. Knots and tension can often form in these deeper layers, causing pain, and a standard massage that focuses on the upper layers of your muscles just won't do the trick.
• Prenatal Massage

Day Spa

• Cryotherapy
  Moist Heat and Cryotherapy - Heat and ice therapy have long been used to ease muscle and joint pain. We can administer these treatments in our office. By submerging inflamed tissue into chilled air environments or using healing moist heat we can instantly provide pain relief in a natural, safe manner.

It’s highly effective for migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, back pain and hip pain.

Signs of sciatica include pain starting in your buttock or lower back and extending down a leg, numbness/tingling in your leg and muscle weakness in your back and leg. Worsening of sciatic pain may occur if you stand or sit for more than an hour. Lying down or walking sometimes relieves sciatica temporarily.
