When soft tissues such as tendons, ligaments, or muscles tighten up they can cause joint pain and stiffness. Massage therapy is an effective way to relieve pain and muscle soreness and improve your sense of well-being. Massage Therapy may help improve the following:
Massage therapy focuses on the soft tissues surrounding hard tissues like tendons, muscles, or ligaments. The primary function of this therapy is to cause soft tissues to relax and loosen.
There are many techniques of massage and soft tissue manipulation. These all involve varying amounts of pressing or rubbing muscles and other soft tissues with hands, fingers, forearms, elbows, and in some variations, feet. Receiving a massage before chiropractic care can help warm up the surrounding muscles, making it easier for chiropractors to perform a physical examination and chiropractic adjustments.

Thank you, Dr. Grodacan for your thoughtful care and ability to heal. I felt immediate and incredible relief while being treated. After leaving your office, I felt lighter. I felt great. That night, after being treated, I fell asleep at 8pm and stayed asleep.... I don't think I've ever done that so I equate it to feeling better that my body allowed me to finally get rest. THANK YOU!

I have chronic hip and knee pains resulting from old auto accident injuries. Dr. Gordacan is very helpful with a full range of approaches using activator adjustments, massage, heat, decompression to really get me back to pain free. She listens and advises, but she is open to what works best for you. She varies her approach and really wants to heal you, not just "treat" your symptoms. I highly recommend Dr. Gordacan and Healing Arts Chiropractic.

I can not thank Dr. Gordacan enough!!! I am 38 weeks pregnant with my fifth baby. I woke up a few days ago and realized that he was not positioned correctly as well as being in extreme pain. I could barley take care of my kids at home. Of course this happened over a holiday so the Monday I was ready to call my OB however they were closed. Every chiropractor office was closed EXCEPT Dr. Gordacan.
She was so sweet and fit me into her schedule knowing that I was pregnant and had other young kids at home. When I arrived she welcomed me with open arms.
She was thorough with her evaluation and even though I had been to chiropractic adjustments she taught me soo much I had not known. Baby was on his way to being nearly transverse but after her adjustment he was back to head down and feeling like he was in the perfect position.
I walked out of there a new woman!!! I can not recommend Dr. Gordacan enough. I am seriously so thankful to have found her when I did and now I have such an ease of mind knowing I can go to her again if I feel baby is not positioned correctly.

When I found Dr. Gordacan, I had been told I needed carpal tunnel surgery. My hands were going to sleep and painful at night. I also had a shoulder injury. Dr. Gordacan validated my own feeling that these issues were rooted in my 20+ year old cervical injury and confirmed this based on her neurological knowledge, review of xrays and muscle testing. She has a variety of modalities to offer. Working with her relieved my hand pain, brought relief to my shoulder and neck and helped me address underlying inflammation in my body. She taught me new exercises and healthy routines to empower myself in my own care. She has offered exceptional care to me when it was most needed. I am very grateful for this experience.
