Youth Massage

Children of all ages can benefit from the health effects of massage. At Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center in Nitro, WV, our staff caters to patients of all ages. For children, massages provide them with physical contact needed for human development. Massages reduce stress, strengthening children's immune systems as well.

Dr. Jay McClanahan’s practice specializes in massaging infants to older children. For infants, massage has been used for centuries to promote a healthy lifestyle. One of the first senses a newborn develops is touch. Human contact helps them grow and bond emotionally and physically. The specific needs of a newborn body are taken into account when providing them with a massage.

Children with special needs can also benefit from massage. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, can be regulated through massage. Patients report an increased ability to focus and control themselves. This improves not only the child’s home and social life but their academic career, too. Children who struggle with sleeping problems may also benefit from massage. Results show an easier time falling asleep and staying asleep throughout the night.

Whiplash

When you’re involved in a car accident, you may not feel soreness or pain at the time. However, the following days you might be experiencing severe pain, most commonly in your head, neck, and shoulder. Those are common symptoms of whiplash, which is the force that moves your neck backward and forward during accidents. At Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center, we advise our patients who have been in an accident to seek chiropractic care.

When possible, we encourage our patients to look for symptoms following a car accident. These symptoms include neck pain/stiffness, lower back pain, and blurred vision, ringing in the ears, headache, shoulder pain, and nausea. Our doctors are trained in Human Biomechanics to help diagnose and treat these symptoms.

The benefit of chiropractic care is a pain-free approach that doesn’t involve painkillers and other medications. Dr. J and his staff treat injuries through spinal realignment that takes pressure off of your nerves and provide pain relief.

If you’re interested in learning more about car accidents and whiplash, or our other services, schedule an appointment with Dr. Jay McClanahan today. Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center is located in Nitro, WV. Visit our website for online contact information or call 304-776-1520.

Custom Foot Orthotics

Our orthotics are custom-made devices that go on the inside of your shoes and are designed to help with foot, knee, and lower back pain. At Dr. J Chiropractic and Wellness Center, we make orthotics that provide a cushion for your feet to realign the bones of the foot and ankle and take pressure off other parts of your musculoskeletal system.

Since orthotics are designed to fit your feet, they can be slipped into most shoes and can be used for walking and any other physical activity. The weight distribution of your feet will impact the alignment of the rest of your body, which is why it is important to be able to distribute weight on them evenly. An unhealthy gait could put excessive pressure on your knee or back tissues, resulting in soreness and strains from overuse.

Orthotics sold in drug stores aren’t specific to your feet and are less optimal at providing the balance and support they need. As a preventive measure to get the most foot support possible, Dr. Jack McClanahan recommends all patients see him for custom orthotics. His custom orthotics can last well over a year and realign your feet so you can be active and pain-free.
