The history of the various treatments of low back pain has been marked by political fights.  In the 1980s,  a political event spurred a massive change concerning organized medicine's outward disrespect for chiropractors. The American Medical Association was sued for anti-trust violations, and the chiropractic profession won. For the first time, the public, open anti-chiropractic slander that had appeared on billboards, in magazine articles, and in TV and radio advertisements was prohibited. In fact, prior to this event, it was against [...]

Greenville South Carolina is one of the most popular relocation destinations in the country, and many new movers come to the area without any healthcare contacts, relying upon reviews from other people on the internet.  As a result, I consistently encounter patients who are new to our community.  One of the most impactful ways to discover a new health-care provider is a personal referral from friends or family. If you are new to Greenville, please consider my Better Business Bureau A+ rating, [...]
