Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a chronic pain disorder that is difficult to treat. It creates widespread pain across your entire musculoskeletal system. This includes areas like tendons, soft tissues, joints, and muscles. You don’t have to compromise your quality of life if you schedule an appointment with Dr. Jay McClanahan. At Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center, located in Nitro, WV, he treats FMS with both chiropractic adjustments and manipulations. Learn more by contacting our office today. 

FMS is a very difficult medical condition to treat. This is partially due to its cause. There is no known reason for it. Theories behind its cause range from genetics, infections, and even emotional/physical distress. The treatment your Nitro, WV, chiropractor offers is much different from other medical professionals. Traditional physicians focus on treating your pain. They offer you pain medication that doesn’t solve the problem. Dr. McClanahan works your body through the responsible factors. He focuses on resolving the roots of your pain. This is the only way to truly improve your everyday life. Although we can’t cure FMS, our treatments certainly help. 

A subluxation, also known as a spinal misalignment, happens when a vertebra shifts from its designated location. This creates a blockage throughout the nervous system. This aggravates your present FMS symptoms. Chiropractic care relieves this blockage. Dr. McClanahan performs a spinal manipulation. Very gently, he uses his hands or small tool to move the vertebra back into place. The entire process is quick and painless. 

For patients with FMS, it’s recommended you visit our office twice a week. It’s the best way to maintain and prevent any future problems. Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center is located in Nitro, WV. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Jay McClanahan, visit his website or call 304-776-1520.
