Therapeutic Massage in Anchorage, Wasilla and Juneau
As therapeutic massage can effectively enhance the healing process and maintain health gains, our physicians often prescribe massage before or after other treatments, such as chiropractic adjustments, rehabilitative therapy or DRS low back pain treatment.
At Better Health, we offer medically prescribed and physician-supervised massage therapy at all of our convenient chiropractic locations in Alaska. Most insurances cover this type of therapeutic massage, and we are happy to check your insurance for you.
What is Therapeutic Massage?
During a massage treatment, our licensed massage therapists use their hands to work the body’s soft tissue, including the muscles, tendons and ligaments. Depending on your physical condition, we utilize numerous massage techniques – from gentle, superficial massage to deeper manipulation of muscle groups.
Better Health’s chiropractors will work closely with our massage therapists to develop an individualized treatment plan that meets your specific needs. And as with all our therapies, your comfort and privacy are of the utmost importance during a massage.
