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
Are you pregnant and think you can benefit from safe chiropractic treatment? We are happy to address any questions or concerns that come up.

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.
If you or a loved one are suffering from multiple sclerosis (MS), contact Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center in Nitro, WV. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Jay McClanahan, call 304-776-1520 or visit https://www.drjbackdocwv.com/meet-the-doctor.

Parkinson's disease
Dr. Jay McClanahan of Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center, located in Nitro, WV, provides chiropractic treatment for patients suffering from many medical conditions. This includes help for patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). This is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects the brain's production of dopamine. This chemical helps your body conduct normal muscle movements. Over time, patients struggle with basic body movements and possibly cognitive function. Chiropractic care can improve the quality of life for patients struggling with PD.
The most common and identifiable aspect of PD is tremors or shaking throughout the body. It occurs even when a patient isn’t moving at all. Other symptoms include balance problems, stiffness, and slow movement. This is a progressive disease, meaning that the symptoms will get worse over time. That’s where treatment from your Nitro, WV, chiropractor comes in.
The basic lines of treatment for PD are through medications. Yet many times these drugs are not enough. They can produce undesirable side effects or even lose effectiveness. Chiropractic treatment improves a patient's quality of life by optimizing health for the spine. Spinal or chiropractic manipulation adjusts troubled areas of the spine. This entails vertebrae that have moved out of their normal position, etc. Many patients with Parkinson’s have misalignments in their neck, known as cervical subluxations. Dr. McClanahan uses chiropractic manipulation to adjust these cervical vertebrae back into place.
The results of chiropractic treatment on PD showed a large reduction of symptoms in patients. Reports showed patients experienced fewer tremors, back pain, fatigue, and mobility restrictions.
Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center is located in Nitro, WV. Dr. Jay McClanahan can help patients with Parkinson’s disease get the help they need. To schedule an appointment, call 304-776-1520 or visit https://www.drjbackdocwv.com/meet-the-doctor.

Vertigo
If you’ve ever stood up too fast or performed a handstand, you might have felt dizzy temporarily. This is nothing compared to vertigo, the feeling of dizziness combined with the sensation that you are spinning when you are standing perfectly still. This condition makes it hard to go about your everyday life due to feeling sick and nauseous. Dr. Jay McClanahan of Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center in Nitro, WV, offers treatment for vertigo. Learn more by contacting our office.
Vertigo is the result of the way your brain and inner ear communicate. As mentioned, the main symptoms are dizziness with the sensation of spinning. Other symptoms include:
-Nausea
-Difficulties balancing
-Headaches
-Tinnitus
-Sweating
This condition is common with patients suffering from some sort of neck or head trauma. Other times it’s caused by damage to the inner ear, including infections and pressure changes. Chiropractic treatment at our office in Nitro, WV, can help regardless of the cause.
Chiropractic care focuses on your body as a whole, not just your symptoms. By keeping your body in harmony and working at it’s best, you live a healthier and happier life. Different types of chiropractic manipulations and exercises are available. Cervical vertigo occurs after an injury to the neck. The joints are moved out of place, creating confusion between your body and brain that results in dizziness. Chiropractic manipulation to the cervical vertebrae reconnects the neural pathways in the spine.
Another treatment possibility focuses on readjusting your head into certain positions. This helps realign parts of the ear that have moved out of place. Talk to your Nitro, WV, chiropractor about what treatments would work best for you.
