Therapeutic Massage That Works With Your Chiropractic Care, Not Separate From It

Tight muscles and stubborn knots don't just cause discomfort on their own — they pull your spine out of alignment, limit your range of motion, and make it harder for your body to hold an adjustment. At MNJ Chiropractic & Wellness Clinic, our licensed massage therapist works alongside Dr. Westrich to address the soft tissue side of your pain so that every treatment goes further and lasts longer.

Massage Styles Matched to What Your Body Actually Needs

We offer several types of therapeutic massage, each designed for a specific need — not a one-size-fits-all session.

• Deep Tissue Massage — Targets the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to break up chronic tension, release stubborn knots, and restore movement in areas that have been locked up for months or years.
• Sports Massage — Designed for active patients and athletes, this technique improves flexibility, reduces muscle fatigue, and helps prevent injury by keeping tissue supple and circulation strong.
• Prenatal Massage — Gentle, positioning-adapted sessions for expectant mothers. Our therapist is trained specifically in prenatal techniques that relieve back tension, hip discomfort, and swelling safely at every stage of pregnancy.
• Swedish/Relaxation Massage — Lighter pressure focused on full-body muscle relaxation and improved circulation. Ideal for stress relief, general tension, and patients new to massage therapy.
• Thai Massage — A more active technique that combines assisted stretching with rhythmic pressure to improve flexibility and energy flow throughout the body.

Each session is tailored to your condition, your comfort level, and what Dr. Westrich has identified as the structural priorities for that visit.

Why Massage and Chiropractic Together Produce Better Results

Chiropractic adjustments correct structural alignment. Massage therapy addresses the soft tissue — the muscles, tendons, and fascia wrapped around that structure. When tight muscles are pulling constantly on your joints and spine, even a well-executed adjustment can be undone within days. Releasing that muscular tension first makes the adjustment easier to perform and far more likely to hold.

The relationship works in both directions. After an adjustment restores proper alignment, massage helps the surrounding soft tissue adapt to that new position rather than contracting back into old patterns. Patients who combine both therapies consistently report longer-lasting relief and a faster return to normal movement than those receiving either treatment alone.

One of the most common frustrations patients share is the inconvenience of managing care across multiple providers. You see the chiropractor on Tuesday, schedule the massage therapist across town for Thursday, and try to remember what each one said. At MNJ, that friction disappears.

Our massage therapist is part of the care team here in our Palmetto Bay office. You can schedule a massage before or after your chiropractic adjustment in the same visit. Dr. Westrich and the therapist coordinate directly on what your body needs that day — so the work is connected, intentional, and efficient. One trip. One team. One outcome.
