Chiropractic Massage Therapy

We’ve all seen massage advertised by spas as an indulgence or pampering, but the long-practiced therapy has many health benefits and has helped many patients of the Catalina Medical Center heal.  Combining chiropractic treatment with massage therapy helps improve a patient’s overall musculoskeletal health and functionality. Another benefit of massage therapy is it releases toxins built up in the muscles, which can then exit the body. This purge of toxins is important for chiropractic patients and anyone with injuries because it helps the body heal itself.


Chiropractic massages are still performed in a calm, soothing environment.  Relaxation cannot heal injuries on its own but is still important to overall health, especially for patients with chronic pain or stress.  Your massage therapist can target problem areas, or focus on relaxing certain muscles in order to help your chiropractor perform an adjustment. Regular massage also increases circulation and flexibility, which makes this therapy highly recommended for patients suffering from arthritis, fibromyalga and muscle spasms. We offer specialty massages to treat burn scars, heal sports injuries for athletes, and even prenatal massage to meet the special needs of expecting mothers.


Chiropractic massage therapy has many benefits and can help anyone feel relief.

Degenerative Disc Disease Treatment

Degenerative Disc Disease is less of a disease and more of a byproduct of aging. As we grow older, our bodies naturally begin to wear down. The spinal discs protect the vertebrae from everyday wear and tear. Once they weaken you can experience problems like bulging and herniated discs, osteoarthritis, and spinal stenosis. Drs. Richard Cohen, Rob Josefsson, and Paul Newhouse work with you to relieve any painful symptoms. To learn more, contact our office in Redondo Beach, CA.   Any noticeable symptoms depend entirely on the patient. The biggest factor is the severity of the condition. Some patients don’t even notice that they have it. Pain is noted in the back or neck, wherever the affected disc is located. It can even spread through the arms, legs, and buttocks. Overall, pain levels range from mild to severe.   As mentioned, the biggest cause of degenerative disc disease is aging. Discs naturally lose fluid, making them stiffer and smaller. Everyday use leaves a toll. Repeated physical

Neck Stiffness

Do you suffer from a stiff neck and not know where to get help? At the Catalina Medical Center, we employ medical professionals with diverse backgrounds to provide patients with a variety of treatment options. We take a holistic approach that will get you comfortable again without major intervention or risk of addiction. Major muscles called the levator scapulae stretch from the shoulder to the neck bones. Neck stiffness can usually be traced to problems in these muscles. People who rest their chins on their palms or who spend a lot of time with their head bent looking at a screen commonly wear these muscles out. Swimmers can get stiff necks from turning their heads so much, and painters often wear out their necks working. Overuse injuries resulting in misalignment of the neck bones can also squeeze the surrounding muscles. When patients come to our office, we’ll do diagnostic exams to ensure we’ve identified the cause of their neck pain correctly. (In rare cases, a stiff neck can resu
