Feeling like something’s not quite right with your health? Or living with chronic pain? If you live in Nitro, Cross Lanes, Charleston, St. Albans, or Teays Valley, WV, a spinal adjustment by Dr. Jay McClanahan at Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center might be the solution to your needs.

5 Signs Its Time to See Your Nitro, Cross Lanes, Charleston, St. Albans, and Teays Valley, WV Chiropractor

Regular visits are always best, but at a minimum, the following are five signs it’s time to visit Dr. McClanahan at Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center.

1. You’re Living In Pain

Pain always comes from somewhere – and most likely, it comes from the musculoskeletal system. Misalignment can create pain from the top of your head to the soles of your feet. A spinal adjustment is one of the most effective and natural methods of relieving pain associated with the spinal column.

2. Your Job Requires Repetitive Movements or Sitting Still

Sitting for hours at a time – especially with poor posture – can wreak havoc on your musculoskeletal system. It can lead to misalignment, disc compression, and more.

Repetitive movements like constant bending and lifting can create the same injuries, as well as lead to sprains, strains, and more. A spinal adjustment can help undo current damage and prevent future injuries.

3. You’ve Recently Been In An Accident

Any accident – even a minor one – can lead to trouble now and in the future. And, unfortunately, you might not notice any signs until the symptoms become debilitating. So, whether it’s a car accident, an accident at work, or a fall in your yard, you should see a chiropractor immediately.

4. You Have An Ongoing Condition

Your nervous system plays an important role in your overall health. Spinal misalignment can compress the nerves, which can lead to a variety of chronic physical, mental, and emotional issues, such as high blood pressure, gastrointestinal trouble, migraines, insomnia, depression, and more. Spinal adjustments help relieve nerve compression, which can reduce or eliminate any related symptoms and help you achieve optimal health.

5. Your Shoes Seem to Wear Out At a Different Rate

Have you noticed that your left shoe needs to be replaced before your right one – or the other way around? If this occurs, it’s likely due to misalignment, which can naturally be addressed with a spinal adjustment.

Have you noticed any of the signs above or feel like something else is off? Schedule a spinal adjustment appointment with Dr. McClanahan at Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center in Nitro, Cross Lanes, Charleston, St. Albans, and Teays Valley, WV by calling (304) 776-1520.
