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.

I want to see a chiropractor! Do I need an MD referral?

By |2020-04-08T14:17:22-04:00January 25th, 2011|FAQs|Comments Off on I want to see a chiropractor! Do I need an MD referral?

Do I need an MD referral to see a chiropractor? Do I need an MD referral? This is an all too common question that potential patients have about chiropractic. The short answer is no. You do not need a referral from your medical doctor. South Carolina along with all 49 other states consider chiropractors as primary care providers. This means that you can seek direct access to a doctor of chiropractic without an MD referral. This being said, it is never a bad thing [...]
