The Benefits of Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is one of the most effective and natural ways to relieve pain, reduce stress, and accelerate healing. At Palmer Chiropractic, our licensed massage therapists work alongside Dr. Bussard to deliver comprehensive care that treats the whole body.

💆
Pain Relief
Massage therapy targets muscle tension, trigger points, and soft tissue injuries to provide lasting pain relief without medication. Ideal for chronic pain, injury recovery, and post-accident care.
🔄
Faster Recovery
Therapeutic massage increases circulation and lymphatic flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to injured tissues. This accelerates healing from auto accidents, sports injuries, and workplace injuries.
🧠
Stress Reduction
Massage stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing cortisol levels and promoting deep relaxation. Regular massage therapy has been shown to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and boost mood.
🦴
Complements Chiropractic
Massage therapy relaxes tight muscles before chiropractic adjustments, making treatments more effective and longer lasting. Combined care produces significantly better outcomes than either treatment alone.
🩸
Improved Circulation
Regular massage improves blood flow throughout the body, reducing inflammation, relieving muscle soreness, and supporting overall cardiovascular health.
⚡
Increased Flexibility
Massage therapy loosens tight muscles and connective tissue, improving range of motion and flexibility. This is especially beneficial for athletes, injured workers, and auto accident patients.

Washington State L&I covers massage therapy for accepted work injury claims. We handle all the paperwork and bill L&I directly so you can focus on recovering.

Frequently Asked Questions — Massage Therapy in Kent, WA

Does insurance cover massage therapy at Palmer Chiropractic?
It depends on your insurance plan. We accept PIP insurance for auto accident patients, Washington State L&I for work injury patients, and select private health insurance plans. We also accept cash. Call us at (253) 854-7700 and we'll verify your benefits before your first appointment.
Do I need a referral to get a massage at Palmer Chiropractic?
No referral is needed for most massage therapy appointments. Simply call our office to schedule. If your massage is being billed to L&I or certain insurance plans, we may need some additional information from you — our team will walk you through it.
How long are massage therapy sessions?
Session lengths vary depending on your treatment plan and needs. Call our office at (253) 854-7700 to discuss session lengths and availability with our massage therapists.
Can massage therapy help with auto accident injuries?
Absolutely. Massage therapy is one of the most effective treatments for auto accident injuries including whiplash, neck pain, back pain, and soft tissue damage. Our massage therapists specialize in post-accident care and work alongside Dr. Bussard to create a comprehensive recovery plan. PIP insurance covers massage therapy in most cases.
What is the difference between Swedish and deep tissue massage?
Swedish massage uses light to medium pressure with long flowing strokes — it's ideal for relaxation and stress relief. Deep tissue massage uses firmer pressure to target deeper muscle layers and connective tissue — it's better for chronic pain, injury recovery, and stubborn muscle tension. Our therapists will recommend the best approach for your specific needs.
Can I get chiropractic and massage therapy on the same day?
Yes — and we highly recommend it. Receiving massage therapy before or after your chiropractic adjustment significantly improves outcomes. Massage relaxes tight muscles so adjustments are easier and hold longer. Many of our patients schedule both on the same visit for maximum benefit.
Where is Palmer Chiropractic located?
We are located at 24837 104th Ave SE, Suite 100, Kent WA 98030. We serve patients from Kent, Auburn, Renton, Federal Way, Covington, and the surrounding South King County area.
