What Is Massage Therapy?
Massage therapy involves hands-on manipulation of the body’s soft tissues — muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue — to improve function and comfort. Unlike ordinary relaxation, massage therapy uses specialized techniques to target muscle tension, pain, and stress.
When you book a massage in Downers Grove at Concept Care, you’re choosing a treatment that can:
- Reduce muscle tension and stiffness
- Improve circulation and lymphatic flow
- Enhance relaxation and promote restful sleep
- Complement chiropractic care for better overall results

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Massage therapy for back pain is one of the most common reasons patients seek care. Massage helps relax tight muscles, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation, which can significantly decrease pain and improve mobility — especially when combined with chiropractic adjustments.
Massage therapy can be very effective for managing chronic pain. Regular therapeutic massage may help reduce muscle tension, improve range of motion, and support long-term pain management for conditions like chronic back pain, joint discomfort, and muscle imbalances.
Absolutely. Massage therapy for stress helps calm the nervous system, lower muscle tension, and promote deep relaxation. Many patients notice improved sleep, better mood, and reduced anxiety after consistent massage sessions.
A relaxation massage focuses on easing stress and promoting overall calm using lighter pressure. A therapeutic massage targets specific problem areas such as tight muscles, chronic pain, or injury-related tension. Your massage therapist will help determine which approach is best for your needs.
No. While massage therapy works very well alongside chiropractic care, you do not need to be a chiropractic patient to receive a massage. Massage therapy is available as a standalone service at our Downers Grove clinic.
The ideal frequency depends on your goals. For stress relief or relaxation, occasional sessions may be enough. For chronic pain or back pain, more regular massage therapy sessions may be recommended. Our team can help create a schedule that fits your needs.
