Is Chiropractic Treatment Safe for Pregnant Women?
Many pregnant women experience aches and pains in their lower back and hips as their baby grows. It begs the question: how does a mother find relief? There are natural remedies to combat pregnancy discomforts, such as seeing a chiropractor for safe manipulations and adjustments. According to the American Pregnancy Association, “There are no known contraindications to chiropractic care throughout pregnancy. All chiropractors are trained to work with women who are pregnant.” Dr. Jay McClanahan at Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center in Nitro, WV, is dedicated to safely alleviating pain associated with pregnancy.
Chiropractic care alleviates pain associated with a baby growing heavier in a mother’s stomach, such as a misaligned spine or protruding abdomen. In fact, a pelvis that is out of alignment can restrict the amount of space the baby has to develop, which in turn can lead to birth defects. Proper alignment of the pelvis also lowers the chances of a complicated delivery.
Regular chiropractic care during pregnancy has other benefits as well:
-Controlling symptoms of nausea
-Reducing labor and delivery time
-Maintaining the health of fetus and mother

Ice Pack Cryotherapy
You are probably familiar with icing a freshly sprained ankle or busted shin to reduce swelling and pain. Cryotherapy, or “cold therapy,” works in the same way to reduce inflammation and pain, but on injuries suffered long ago. Start your road to recovery with Dr. Jay McClanahan at Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center today! There are many benefits associated with ice pack cryotherapy that it’s become a popular treatment option in the Nitro, WV, area.
Cryotherapy is also an effective way to help with muscle spasms. Benefits can be obtained from just one session of cryotherapy, but it is most effective when used regularly. Commonly used in treatment for sports injuries, some athletes use cryotherapy twice a day, while others may go once a day for ten days and switch to once a month after that time. Listen to what your body says as it reacts to the treatment, as well as any advice given to you by your trusted chiropractor.
Other benefits of cryotherapy include:
- Reduces pain attributed to arthritis
- Helps treat mood disorders
- Decreases symptoms of migraines
- Numbs pain associated with nerve irritation
- Treats certain skin conditions
- Potential to help treat low-risk tumors
- Potential to help prevent dementia and Alzheimer’s
