Massage Therapy

Therapeutic massage involves manipulation of the soft tissue structures of the body to prevent and alleviate pain, discomfort, muscle spasm, and stress.

It also improves functioning of the circulatory, lymphatic and nervous systems and may improve the rate at which the body recovers from injuries and illness. Massage comes in many forms, including:

  • Swedish - a gentle, relaxing massage
  • Pressure Point Therapy for specific disease or injuries - from trigger point and myotherapy to shiatsu and acupressure
  • Sports massage focuses on muscle groups relevant to a particular sport.

Dr. Bohl Asks some important questions of interest to Rehoboth Beach residents - Chiropractor Rehoboth Beach Dr. Bohl Asks...

Can someone who has had back surgery receive chiropractic care?
Yes. Rest assured that we will avoid the surgically modified areas of your spine. However, what we find is that surgical interventions will often produce spinal instability above or below the involved level. This is will be the focus of your chiropractic care.
Where do most Rehoboth Beach residents get their first subluxation?
Being born in a hospital is a common source of subluxation. Trauma from forceps delivery has been replaced with drugs, vacuum extraction, Cesarean section and births that are "scheduled" to fit the workweek routines of Ob-Gyns. That's why we recommend a chiropractic checkup for every Rehoboth Beach newborn.
