Sound familiar?
- Something's been "not right" since a game, lift or run
- You're icing it and hoping it goes away
- Pickleball, golf or tennis leaves your shoulder or elbow sore
- Your back tightens up on deadlifts or squats
- You don't want to stop training completely
- You want a plan, not just "take some time off"
Rest alone doesn't rebuild what got overloaded
Most active-life injuries happen when the load got ahead of what the tissue was ready for. Taking time off can calm it down, but it doesn't rebuild that capacity. At your first visit we find what's irritated and why, start treatment the same day, and build a return-to-play plan: what to keep doing, what to modify, and when to progress.

Questions
Do I have to stop training?
Usually not. Our goal is to keep you as active as safely possible while we treat the problem, and your plan will spell out what to modify.
What sports do you see?
Runners, lifters, CrossFit, cycling, golf, tennis, pickleball, rec leagues and high school, college and adult athletes. If you move, you're an athlete.
Which option should I pick?
If you're ready to get started, book the $97 First-Visit Special. You'll be examined and treated the same day. If you have questions first, or you're using insurance, pick the free 10-minute call and talk with one of our doctors.
I have insurance. Can I still come in?
Yes. The special is a self-pay offer, and many of our patients use insurance. Choose the free call (or call us) and we'll check your chiropractic benefits before your visit at no cost.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is needed to see a chiropractor in South Carolina.
Is the call really free?
Yes. The Discovery Call is never billed, and there's no obligation to book anything.
