The city of Greenville South Carolina is an amazing place. When I moved to this town over 30 years ago, I came with an anticipation that this would be a great area to start a practice, plant roots and raise a family.  I wasn't disappointed.  I herald the attributes of my adoptive home town to all of my friends and family from other states, but the message of how wonderful this town really is, is best painted with pictures. The Greenville [...]

Doctors are … Start by entering those two words into the search line of Google and look at the list of the top ten searches. What words come to mind next?  This is the list from my search: Doctors are stupid, arrogant, evil, dangerous, idiots, overpaid, useless, underpaid, rich, greedy. This list is disappointing. Is this representative of public opinion of what doctors are? As one chiropractor, I realize there is not much I can do to improve perceptions of health [...]

As a chiropractor, my goal is to help my patients become pain-free. My desire, however, is to see my patients understand the reasons for why their pain began in the first place and to teach them how to correct those underlying causes. In the past, I have concentrated on educating patients about posture and illustrating home care maneuvers and exercises that would balance their supportive muscles. But even the most well-intentioned patients get sidetracked by their busy lives and no habit [...]

Many Olympians, professional sports teams and endurance athletes have experienced the difference that Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) provides.

ACCIDENT ATTORNEY? Why Does It Matter… As a chiropractor, I see many automobile accident victims. Some of my patients have been in minor collisions, where there is little damage to their vehicle. Others have had their automobile declared a total loss by an insurance claims adjuster.  Many automobile accident victims wonder if they need an accident attorney.  In my opinion, the reality of the modern insurance system requires the help of an accident attorney. Typically I focus on helping automobile accident [...]

Relief! More MD’s learning about the benefits of chiropractic

By |2020-07-21T12:18:44-04:00February 1st, 2011|News and Events|Comments Off on Relief! More MD’s learning about the benefits of chiropractic

I have personally seen a significant increase in direct medical referrals to our office over the past 10 years. Medical doctors are compassionate, and don't like to see their patients continue to suffer, or be doomed to a life of pain management with drugs. The challenge has been the lack of knowledge or misinformation about the benefits of chiropractic. The only solution to this challenge is open communication with timely information, and we welcome the opportunity to work with our patient's [...]

An unfortunate statistic is that back pain accounts for more than $100 billion in annual U.S. health care costs and is the second leading cause of physician visits and hospitalization. There are a number of studies suggesting that access to managed chiropractic care may reduce overall health care expenditures and produce beneficial outcomes to patients. The following studies are summaries*: 1.  More Satisfaction Evaluating one-month outcomes for Oregon-area patients with chronic low-back pain: Chiropractic patients showed five times greater improvement than medical [...]
