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.
