Massage Therapy For Burns

Your burn scars shouldn’t be a constant reminder of a traumatic event. Dr. Jay McClanahan of Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center is a great addition to your medical team. His recommended treatment is Burn Scar Massage Therapy. This slows the development of scar tissue while increasing healing. Massage therapy improves the appearance along with your range of motion. To learn more, contact our office in Nitro, WV.

The first line of treatment is massage therapy and stretching. These activities loosen the scar tissue for healing. This is one of the main reasons chiropractic treatment is used for burns. When a wound starts to heal, the skin tightens and puckers into a scar. This makes it hard to move the selected body part. There are other benefits to massage therapy as well,

Other common benefits:
-Reduces itching, muscle spasms, swelling, skin sensitivity, and pain in the injured area
-Prevents structural dysfunction
-Prepares the burned area for stretching and strengthening

Your Nitro, WV, chiropractic treatment helps with the appearance of the burn too. When a burn is assisted through the healing process, it scars much less than without treatment. The scar isn’t as apparent or noticeable then.

If you or a loved one have suffered from a burn, and are interested in treatment, contact Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center. Dr. Jay McClanahan is available for an appointment by visiting his website or calling 304-776-1520.
