Massage Therapy offers a wide range of physical, mental, and emotional benefits — both immediate and long-term.

At Nucare in Northbrook, we use Massage Therapy with our patients to get them the results they need to return to their daily activities while reducing their pain. Let us help you get relief from your pain and improve your joint motion through Massage Therapy and get back to doing what you love.

Here’s a breakdown of the key benefits:

Physical
Benefits

Reduces Muscle Tension & Pain

  • Eases soreness from overuse or injury.

  • Improves muscle flexibility and joint mobility.

Improves Circulation

  • Boosts blood and lymphatic flow, helping deliver nutrients and remove waste from tissues.

Enhances Recovery

  • Speeds healing after exercise or surgery by increasing oxygen and nutrient delivery to muscles.

Supports Immune Function

  • Regular massage may increase lymphocyte activity, strengthening the body’s defense system.

Improves Posture & Alignment

  • Relieves tight muscles that contribute to postural imbalances, especially from long hours of sitting.

Lowers Blood Pressure & Heart Rate

  • Promotes relaxation of the parasympathetic nervous system, leading to better cardiovascular regulation.

Mental & Emotional Benefits

Reduces Stress & Anxiety

  • Decreases cortisol (stress hormone) and increases serotonin and dopamine — your “feel good” neurotransmitters.

 Improves Sleep Quality

  • Encourages deep relaxation, which can help with insomnia and overall sleep patterns.

Boosts Mood & Mental Clarity

  • Promotes calmness and mental focus, often leaving you feeling refreshed and centered.

Supports Emotional Healing

What our patients are saying about us…

  • “I had injured my right meniscus skiing 2 years ago. I ‘ve been having knee pain ever since and it’s caused me to stop working out. After only a few ARPwave treatments, the pain was gone. I couldn’t believe it! Now I work out regularly and I tell everyone at the gym about the amazing ARPwave!”

    —Carrie B., Waconda, IL

    —Cathy S., Evanston, IL

  • “Before seeing Dr. Bloom, it seems like I was always in pain. I’ve been seeing Dr. Bloom for about 2 months now and am extremely grateful for how much she has helped my neck and low back. I’m able to do the things I want to do and get away with it! I feel well again!"

    —Janet N., Long Grove, IL

    —Judy P., Highland Park, IL

  • “I was referred to Dr. Bloom by my internist to help with sciatic pain. It was my first time seeing a NUCCA Chiropractor.

    —Carol P., Wilmette, IL

  • “I suffered from headaches for 7 years. I had pain in my neck and shoulders that prevented me from sitting at my desk without being in pain. I still can’t believe such a gentle adjustment works so well. I feel great, I don’t suffer from headaches anymore and I am thankful for all that Dr. Bloom has done for me, I feel like myself again!!”

    —Amy D., Northbrook, IL

  • “Before experiencing NUCCA, I always had back and neck pain, which often spread throughout my shoulders. I have pretty bad scoliosis which makes one of my shoulders sit higher than the other. After my very first visit with Dr. Bloom, I felt completely different. It was incredible! All of my back and neck pain was gone and I feel great! My posture has improved as well. I’ve also noticed a boost in my energy levels and a lot fewer headaches since beginning treatment with Dr. Bloom. The results I’ve experienced are truly amazing and I would recommend NUCCA to anyone wanting to improve their overall health and get rid of their pain! This type of chiropractic is really wonderful!”

    —Julie S., Glenview, IL

  • “I came to Dr. Bloom with neck pain and tingling down my arm. I even had to stop playing tennis because the pain was unbearable. After seeing Dr. Bloom and after a few NUCCA treatments, I am now pain free and playing tennis again. I highly recommend Dr. Bloom!!!”

    —John K., Winnetka, IL

  • “I was in 2 Car accidents when I was younger and felt fine. It was only 6 months ago that I suffered excruciating low back pain and was diagnosed with a herniated disc. It was so painful that I didn’t think it would ever go away. My sister swore by the NUCCA treatments and insisted I see Dr. Bloom. After only several treatments my pain was gone! I continue to see Dr. Bloom when I feel a twinge. I am so thankful to have discovered NUCCA and Dr. Bloom!! I highly recommend her!!”

    —Lauren M., Kenosha WI

  • “I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and was suffering and struggling from chronic pain for the past 2 years before discovering Dr. Bloom. I tried so many therapies that I was skeptical when first trying NUCCA. Dr. Bloom was very warm and caring and made me feel like I was in the right place. I couldn’t believe how gentle and effective the Nucca adjustment can be. It’s changed my life and now I know where to go when I’m out of alignment! Dr. Bloom is great at what she does!!”

    —Stephanie G., Arlington Heights, IL

  • “NUCCA has changed my life! When I first came into see Dr. Bloom, my whole body was leaning to the left, I just wasn’t straight. I had suffered from a herniated disc in the past and it would take months to recover. I new my disc was herniating again. A friend at work referred me to Dr. Bloom. I wish I went to see her sooner. I felt better and looked straighter in just days! Unbelievable!!"

    —Robert R., Libertyville, IL
