Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disorder that affects the nervous system. Inflammation damages the myelin, the fatty substance that surrounds the nerves. This causes a variety of neurological problems and even loss of control of the limbs. Dr. Jay McClanahan of Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center provides an alternative treatment for patients with MS. Visit his office in Nitro, WV, to learn more.

Many patients with MS have control of their limbs much of the time. Still, the joint pain does affect mobility and quality of life. Plus, many patients with MS also have other autoimmune conditions. But what happens if medication and pharmaceuticals aren’t enough? That’s where your Nitro, WV, chiropractor comes in.

Medications aren’t always 100% effective and lose strength over time. Chiropractic care provides you with pain relief without reliance on drugs. It will improve your overall happiness and welfare. Your Nitro, WV, chiropractor focuses on your body as a whole. Instead of just treating your symptoms, Dr. McClanahan works to find the root of the cause. The spine hosts the headquarters for your body’s nerves. If a vertebra is out of alignment, it worsens and creates painful symptoms. Chiropractic treatments work to correct these displaced vertebrae. These treatments reduce inflammation and pain.

Patients find success with various forms of spinal manipulation, especially the Blair chiropractic technique. This focuses on the area between the neural canal and the brainstem. Working on these upper cervical vertebrae show positive results in MS patients.
