Individual

Individual chiropractic and wellness care are key to prevention and quality health. At Nardone Chiropractic & Wellness, we uniquely design a plan for each of our patients after a report of findings exam where we assess your physical, emotional and mental well-being. This includes a general exam including x-rays and medical history diagnosis.

We'll work with you to provide quality results and consistency that works within your budget and schedule — ultimately saving you time and money with improved health and lifestyle as a result.

In addition to general care, specialized areas of individual treatment also include, among others:

Pre-natal care — for a more comfortable pregnancy and delivery including a faster recovery time and loss of pregnancy weight (hormonal balance and homeostasis of the adrenal system)
Allergies and Food Allergies
Joint Pain and Arthritis
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Stress & Fatigue
Headaches
Neurological Problems & Diseases
Whiplash
Physical Therapy and Injuries


Personal Injury

Nardone Chiropractic & Wellness recognizes that many of the chronic pain sufferers and persons disabled by whiplash injury might be spared that fate by a more effective and broad scope approach to treatment and rehabilitation. We offer comprehensive treatment plans for whiplash and motor vehicle crash victims including:

Chiropractic care
Rehabilitation
Expert testimony
Coordination of legal representation
Coordination with leading neurosurgeons


Personal Injury FACTS:

  • Approximately 3 million whiplash injuries occur in the U.S. each year.
  • Almost 50% of chronic neck pain is attributed to motor vehicle crashes and this condition remains underreported.
  • Statistics show that 93% of car accidents are due to human error.
  • It is clear that motor vehicle crashes profoundly diminish the nation's health and welfare, a fact that is made all the more poignant by considering the fact that most are potentially preventable.
  • If you drive a motor vehicle or have been a passenger in a motor vehicle, you are at high risk of whiplash if in an accident.
  • Whiplash injury is one of the leading causes of disability and loss of productive years of life because it effects so many people early in life.
  • For victims, symptoms are delayed for approximately 24-72 hours — so it may take several days for you to realize the extent of damages.


Personal DO's and DONT's

Never place your hands, feet (or any other body part) directly over the airbag module cover in any circumstance in which the airbag might deploy.
Do not exit your vehicle — the symptoms are often delayed — and request immediate transport to the nearest emergency room facility by ambulance.
Do not sign any paperwork by the at-fault driver's insurance agency without prior medical attention and legal consultation.


Pregnancy Care

Chiropractic care through pregnancy is not only helpful — it is ESSENTIAL. We can look at the implications of subluxation from a biomechanical, hormonal and neurological standpoint. It's easy for us to see the postural changes through pregnancy — the center of gravity changes, the weight of the baby places increased pressure on the spine and pelvis, and toward the end of pregnancy changes are seen in gait pattern (AKA the waddle). What we can't see are the millions of different hormonal changes and chemical reactions occurring in the mother and developing baby — ALL of which are controlled and coordinated through the nervous system.

We combine the following methods for our Pregnancy Care Patients:


Manual Manipulation
Drop piece adjusting with specialized tables for pregnant women
Pregnancy Massage
Pre-natal whole food supplementation plans/products
Stretching, Exercise and Flexibility Training
Ergonomics classes
Nutritional advice

How Does Chiropractic Help Pregnancy? The FACTS:

  • Shorter Labor. Women receiving chiropractic care through their first pregnancy had 24% shorter labor times than those not receiving chiropractic. Multiparous subjects reported 39% shorter labor times.
  • Reduced Pain. 84% of pregnant women reported relief of back pain during pregnancy and labor with chiropractic care.
  • Normalizes Nervous System Function. Chiropractic Care helps normalize nervous system function in pregnant women which reduces muscle spasms, body imbalances, and pelvic discomfort, among others.
  • Decreased Stress Hormones. Chiropractic care decreases stress hormones in pregnant women contributing to more consistent hormonal balance — less mood swings, temperature flashes, etc.
  • Better Nutritional Habits. Chiropractic care during pregnancy increases better nutritional habits including natural pre-natal whole food supplementation — eating well, exercising regularly, living naturally — all enabling a more comfortable and healthy pregnancy for both the mother and baby.

Children & Pediatrics

Youth & Pediatrics are a necessary partnership with chiropractic, and at Nardone Chiropractic & Wellness we take great pride in helping our youth — which are our tomorrow.

As youth and childhood (18 or younger) obesity rates remain the highest worldwide in the United States and continue to rise, we have an epidemic on our hands that can only be solved through prevention and wellness. Additionally, our youth today are lacking activity like never before combined with a "fast-food" approach to nutrition which adds to the problem.

  • Why Chiropractic is Essential Care for our Youth: A Prevention & Wellness Lifestyle
  • Chiropractic will improve greater health education among our youth.
  • Chiropractic will educate and encourage a wellness lifestyle in our youth through greater physical activity.
  • Chiropractic will provide an Eat Well, Think Well, Move Well approach to life for our youth.
  • Chiropractic sets the stage for a preventive and wellness lifestyle.
  • Prevention and wellness through chiropractic care will decrease obesity and healthcare-related costs.
  • Chiropractic will prevent obesity before it starts.

Obesity & Our Youth: The Hard Truths
  • More than 30% of West Virginians are obese, including adults and children. Obesity contributed to about $147 million in the nation's medical costs in 2008, or $1,429 per person.

  • Nationally, 12% of youth (18 or younger) are obese; in West Virginia, 14% of youth (18 or younger) are obese — ranking West Virginia one of the highest youth obesity rate states in the country.



The Youth Obesity Problem: Lack of Nutrition & Physical Activity

Lack of Nutrition:

  • 82% ate fruits and vegetables less than five times per day.
  • 72% ate fruit or drank 100% fruit juices less than two times per day.
  • 86% ate vegetables less than three times per day.
  • 35% drank a can, bottle, or glass of soda or pop at least one time per day.
Lack of Physical Activity:
  • 17% did not participate in at least 60 minutes of physical activity on any day.
  • 77% were physically active at least 60 minutes per day.

  • 76% did not attend PE classes daily when they were in school.
  • 31% watched television 3 or more hours per day on an average school day.
  • 24% used computers 3 or more hours per day on an average school day.



Workers Compensation

Back injuries are the #1 cause of missed work and are the most costly of medical injuries that can occur. At Nardone Chiropractic & Wellness, we specialize in working with individuals and corporations on such matters — specifically partnering with the industrial and labor arenas to prevent such accidents before they occur.

The Hard Truths About Workers Comp:

  • Workers Comp claims are skyrocketing like never before.
  • Increased Workers Comp decreases the bottom line — reducing profits and money for pensions and benefits.
  • The labor required for daily job performance leads to injury inevitably — including neck, back and joint pain causing worse injury if untreated — such as spine degeneration, disc problems, and knee replacements, among others.
  • Back problems are the leading cause of lost work days and joint problems rank fifth highest among lost work days.
  • Of the ten most COSTLY medical conditions in the U.S., joint problems rank fourth and back problems rank sixth.
Please contact us today to see how we may create a Wellness Plan for you or your company or organization to minimize such injury — leading to increased job performance, higher revenue, better benefits and pensions for members and their families.

Nutritional Counseling

Did you know that the quality of ingredients you put into your body directly effect the results you see? At Nardone Chiropractic & Wellness, we emphasize quality — which is why whole food supplement products are vital to good health. Most consumers are tricked by pharmaceutical commercials and non-evaluated FDA products, which can have extremely harmful effects on the health.

We are also an international Herbalife distributor — those products can be purchased in our office or through our online shop.






Sports & Athletics

From the professional, collegiate or high school athlete to leisure sports player, chiropractic care is essential. For patients of our Sports & Athletics practice group, Nardone Chiropractic & Wellness focuses on comprehensive treatment plans that incorporate intense adjustments for full range-of-motion to ensure our athletes are biomechanically sound to perform. We couple this with targeted exercise routines and stimulation therapy to prevent atrophy and keep our clients in peak performance.

Additionally, we combine nutritional counseling to ensure a daily routine of all the necessary vitamins and nutrients as well as sports performance naturally-based supplements to fuel the body properly.

Our Sports & Athletics Practice Group treats individual athletes and sports teams.

Orthotics

In our mission to treat the "whole" person, the need for a proper foundation — the feet — is essential. The perfect arch is the strongest structure known to man, and it's important that our foot structure have the perfect arch to support our body's movement and proper function.

Foot pain is not the warning light for needing orthotics — it's a sign you've gone too long without them. The human foot is the most intricate part of the body — in direct communication with your spine and central nervous system. The feet are our body's shock absorbers — and one hour of intense exercise equals about one million pounds of foot pressure. Under normal walking conditions, each foot bears about 1.5 times our body weight.

Your foot is comprised of over 100 working parts, including as many as 28 bones working in conjunction with ligaments, tendons and muscles. This pressure is enormous, and with the average foot traveling 1,000 miles a year, it is no surprise there are many injuries.

Nardone Chiropractic & Wellness provides in-house foot scans and orthotic services.

Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation and Chiropractic physical therapy are key elements for certain patients, including motor crash victims and workers comp injuries, among others. It is important to couple chiropractic therapy with these treatments in order to re-train the musculoskeletal and central nervous systems — most importantly the brain.

The benefit to utilizing a chiropractic facility offering these services is extensive — specifically, the benefit of having a doctor of chiropractic (the only type of doctor trained to manipulate and remove subluxations) oversee your treatment — a doctorate specialist of this type of therapy.

At Nardone Chiropractic and Wellness, we offer a full-service Rehabilitation and Chiropractic physical therapy program for our patients.

Gaming and Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation (VOM) Group

With West Virginia being a top agricultural and gaming state, Nardone Chiropractic & Wellness has a national-leading Gaming & Veterinarian Orthopedic Manipulation (VOM) Practice Group. VOM is a healing technology that locates areas of the animal's nervous system that have fallen out of communication, and re-establishes neuronal communication to induce healing. It's the most simple, effective and safe healing modality in veterinary care to date.

We treat household pets, farming animals, greyhounds, racing horses and jockeys, among others. Routinely treated conditions include:

  • Acute and non-acute lameness
  • Progressive lameness
  • Hip dysplasia-like syndromes
  • IV disc disease
  • Progressive myelopathies ("down in the rears" dogs)
  • Urinary and fecal incontinence
  • Unilateral lameness
  • Wobbler's Disease
  • Diseases of the knee
  • Esophageal disease
  • Increased of decreased GI mobility disease
  • Digestive disorders
  • Performance problems
  • Behavioral problem
  • Agility dysfunction
  • Endocrine disease

Our goal is for any animal — whether competitive or not — to have the most holistic approach to wellness, including natural supplements and vitamins.

Our track record is proven by the winning rates of our gaming clients and the happiness of our pets and pet owners.

Bet on our success! Make sure your animal is well adjusted — schedule an appointment with us today!

It's important to note that VOM is not chiropractic care, although there are many similarities — specifically the chiropractic modalities and functions by restoring function by reducing "subluxations" as is done in chiropractic care. It uses a hand-held device that is used in a popular human chiropractic technique called "Activator Methods" but it is not to be confused with that technique. The differences between VOM and Chiropractic care are significant and distinct. VOM exists in a gray area between both professions (Veterinary and Chiropractic) and benefits from the positive aspects of both, a hybrid, and thus more effective than either by themselves. VOM is not animal chiropractic care and thus is not taught by the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association (AVCA). VOM is not recognized by the AVCA (the AVCA does not recognize anything it does not teach). The Animal Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) does not recognize veterinary chiropractic care or the AVCA for now.
