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

Sports Injuries
If you’re an avid athlete or just enjoy working out and exercising, you are at risk of receiving a sports injury. Maybe you hit the ball weird in a game of soccer or twisted your ankle while jogging. Dr. Jay McClanahan is here to help no matter how the injury happened. Your Nitro, WV, chiropractic combines an array of different therapies to give you the treatment you need. Together, you can get off the bench and back into the game, with the help of Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center.
The most common cause of sports injuries is from repetitive use. You engage in the same movement over and over, wearing down the soft tissues and other muscles. Every athlete is at risk regardless of the sport they play in. With tennis and golf players, they develop Lateral Epicondylitis. This is severe inflammation and pain in the elbow. All of it stems from the repetitive motion of swinging the tennis racquet or golf club.
Discovering the cause of your pain is your Nitro, WV, chiropractor’s top priority. Chiropractors believe that the entire body is connected. When one area is hurt or injured, everything is thrown out of balance. Finding this area and treating it is the only solution. This is the same philosophy used for sports injuries. Dr. McClanahan will examine your body to discover the injury’s location. A treatment plan is then developed.
The type and severity of the injury dictate the treatment method. Chiropractic adjustments are great for relieving your pain. We can also help you with inflammation and swelling. At the same time, your chiropractor focuses on rebuilding your strength. Improving your flexibility and durability in the injured area lowers your risk of reinjuring yourself.
