Struggling with Knee or Shoulder Pain that won't improve?
From serious sports injuries causing tissue damage to bone issues and stiffness that comes with age, living with pain is, well, a pain. But it's more than that - it's a stressful, often upsetting way to get through your day, month, and year. Have you ever tried to get out of bed with sore, stiff knees? Most folks would rather just get back in bed. Think you might try exercising with plantar fasciitis? Don't plan on running far or doing cardio for very long. Torn rotator cuff? Without proper treatment, your life might not ever be the same.
Living with pain and the inevitable issues that come with age can seriously affect your wellbeing and happiness. Sure, you could wake up every morning and rely on addicting medications to help you move. Or, you could risk further injury and damage with invasive surgeries that require long periods of recovery and downtime. But those can't be the only two options for treatment, can they?
Fortunately, a new, natural, non-invasive treatment for pain is revolutionizing the medical industry and transforming people's lives. It's giving athletes, average folks, and people of a certain age a reason to be hopeful. It's called Softwave therapy, and unlike many fly-by-night medications and sketchy treatments, it's backed by science and provided by Elite Healthcare Physical Medicine.
If you're barely making it through the day suffering from chronic pain, this FDA-approved drug-free treatment may be for you. Softwave therapy has already been used by thousands of people around the country living with issues like shoulder pain, knee pain, and plantar fasciitis. You could be next.
Though its popularity has only grown in recent years, Softwave therapy - also known as shockwave therapy - has been around for years. In fact, the first systematic study into the benefits of shockwave therapy took place way back in 1950. So, what is Softwave therapy?
Softwave therapy is a method of treatment that works incredibly well for mobility rehab, pain relief, and full-body recovery, usually from chronic pain or injuries. Softwave therapy uses a device emitting low-energy soundwaves that target a patient's injured area. These low-intensity waves boost blood flow and kickstart your body's natural healing processes, relieving long-term pain and helping your body to heal a wide range of injuries and conditions.
The main targets in the body include bones, tendons, and other soft tissues, which are encouraged to regenerate and repair via the shockwaves. Often, shockwave therapy is used in conjunction with other non-invasive treatments like chiropractic care, which we offer at Elite Healthcare Physical Medicine. The results are often incredible, leaving patients wondering why they never tried Softwave therapy before.
Softwave therapy works especially well for:
Better Blood Flow
Collagen Stimulation
Reducing Inflammation
Kickstarting cell growth and healing factors
Breaking down build-ups of calcium
With FDA clearance, little-to-no side effects, and quick application time, Softwave therapy is a welcome alternative for people suffering from pain. Who wants to spend weeks or months recovering from a surgery that might not even work? Likewise, who would want to become dependent on over-the-counter or, even worse, prescription pain meds? Living a life of addiction is a road nobody wants to go down.
Softwave therapy represents a revolution in non-invasive pain treatment; best of all, it's highly effective. Independent studies prove that shockwave therapy helps with pain. 65-91% of patients using shockwave therapy experienced real-deal improvements in damaged muscle and bone tissue, solving their mobility problems and drastically reducing pain. It almost sounds too good to be true, but as many patients at Elite Healthcare Physical Medicine will tell you - it isn't.
Book AppointmentSome of the most common conditions that Softwave therapy treats include:
When you get up in the morning and go to the bathroom to brush your teeth, do you notice a stabbing, sharp pain near your heel? Does the pain go away once you have a chance to walk around? If so, you could have plantar fasciitis. According to the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons, this painful condition is quite common. About two million people suffer from plantar fasciitis every year, and almost 10% of all people will experience the condition at least once in their life.
This common foot issue happens when the plantar fascia - a fan-shaped tissue near your heel - gets inflamed. The plantar fascia is a thick strip of connective tissue that links your toes to your heel bone, helping to preserve the arch of your foot. When this band is strained, it causes intensely sharp pain, usually in the morning when you wake up and plant your feet on the floor.
Most folks ignore plantar fasciitis because the pain eventually goes away throughout the day. However, if left untreated, plantar fasciitis can lead to weakness and chronic pain, which may affect daily walking.
Some causes of plantar fasciitis include:
The short answer to this question is not really. Patients with plantar fasciitis will ice the affected area with little-to-no relief since they spend so much time on their feet. It's hard to rest an achy heel if you've got a job that requires you to be on your feet. Anti-inflammatory meds like Advil don't work all that well, either. They may provide temporary pain relief, but in terms of a long-term solution, taking these drugs will cause major side effects.

When more conservative treatment options like ice and over-the-counter meds don't work, most doctors turn to ultra-expensive orthotics, steroid injections, or invasive surgery. For the average person, those options fail on all fronts, as they carry risks for side effects and may even cause the issue to worsen.
Instead of going under the knife or changing their daily routines, many people suffering from plantar fasciitis are turning to Softwave therapy for relief.
During a shockwave therapy session, our expert providers use a special probe to deliver pressure waves to inflamed tissue. These waves trigger natural healing processes causing new blood vessels to form. In turn, oxygen is supplied to the affected area, reducing inflammation and causing healthy cells to regenerate. Shockwave therapy also produces collagen, which is crucial for connective tissue health.
With just a few visits, many patients find long-term relief from plantar fasciitis without relying on strange drugs or harmful surgeries.
Living with knee pain is just miserable. From knee tendonitis to osteoarthritis, knee pain can prevent you from enjoying activities and affect your day-to-day life. Your knee is a joint comprised of cartilage, bone, ligaments, and fluids. Tendons and muscles within the knee help the joint move. When one of these crucial knee structures is hurt or compromised, it results in knee pain and long-lasting knee problems. This, in turn, leads to difficulty walking at best and debilitating knee issues at worse.
If you're an active person or somebody who plays sports often, you're probably all too familiar with knee pain - especially common conditions like patellar tendinopathy. Also called "jumpers knee," this issue happens at the patellar tendon, which is found on the front of the knee just under the knee cap. When living with this condition, most patients experience pain around the kneecap or lower down on the leg around the tibia.
In addition to injuries and issues like jumper's knee, everyday wear and tear will cause knee pain over time. With time, this knee pain can develop into arthritis. If your knees are swollen, painful, or stiff, you may have arthritis in your knees. Regardless of the kind of knee pain you're experiencing, treatment options have been limited to agonizing surgeries and addicting pain medications. But that all changes with shockwave therapy for knee pain in McClellanville, SC.
Though no two knee pain problems are exactly the same, shockwave therapy has been shown to be highly effective for knee pain. In fact, many patients at Elite Healthcare Physical Medicine find relief after just one session. Many times, sessions can be completed in as little as 30 minutes. So if you want to find relief for knee pain on your lunch break, that's definitely possible.
As is the case with plantar fasciitis, Softwave therapy works by sending sound wave and low-energy impulses to the affected area of your knee. These pulses stimulate your body's healing factors, which can help regenerate and repair damaged tendons and tissues. Softwave therapy for knee pain is especially promising for people who have tried other treatments - like surgery and pain meds - with disappointing results.
Benefits include:
Several studies and reviews prove that Softwave therapy can be very beneficial for people suffering from knee pain problems like jumper's knee. A study involving 66 patients with knee pain found that they enjoyed a significant improvement in their reported pain levels with Softwave therapy. In fact, knee pain was reduced by nearly 50% after a single month. When combined with other regenerative and physical therapy treatments at Elite Healthcare Physical Medicine, your days of living with knee pain are numbered.
Book AppointmentHere's a fact for you to consider: Every joint that you have in your body plays a part in your day-to-day life. But when we think of joint issues, we typically jump to knee issues. However, your knees aren't the only joints in your body to go through wear and tear. Your shoulders experience just as much, if not more, wear and tear than your knees. We put a strain on our shoulders just about every time we use or move our arms. Our shoulders play a pivotal part in living a normal life. When they begin to deteriorate over time due to age or overuse, it creates a litany of painful problems.
There are many causes of shoulder pain, like deterioration, inflammation, and trauma. Of the many painful shoulder conditions affecting Americans yearly, rotator cuff tendonitis and arthritis are very common. Also called calcific tendinitis, rotator cuff pain is caused by built-up calcium deposits on the shoulder's tendons, which connect your rotator cuff to nearby muscles and bones. This painful condition is usually linked to sports, like basketball and volleyball, or in professions requiring repetitive movements, like in the plumbing industry.
Some common symptoms of shoulder pain and rotator cuff tendinitis include:
Though strengthening exercises and some medications provide temporary relief for shoulder pain, they're not meant as long-term solutions. Luckily, Softwave therapy for rotator cuff pain in McClellanville, SC, can help.
Shockwave therapy has been shown to work wonders for shoulder pain. Low-intensity shockwaves break up calcium deposits and jumpstart your body's healing processes, stimulating blood flow and healthy cell growth. Shockwave treatment is especially effective for long-term shoulder pain since it releases stem cells, sends growth factors to the affected area, and boosts capillary production. Shockwave therapy has also been shown to break down scar tissue and eliminate trigger points, all of which decrease shoulder pain. This relief is most often long-lasting, unlike other treatments like medications and injections.
Many studies support the efficacy of Softwave therapy for shoulder conditions like rotator cuff pain and calcific tendonitis of the shoulder. In a study of 84 patients living with long-term rotator cuff tendonitis, participants in the treatment group saw a significant decrease in the intensity of their shoulder pain. Another study related to shockwave therapy for calcific tendonitis found that 86.6% of patients experienced fewer calcifications.
If you're having to live with rotator cuff pain or another type of shoulder issue, choosing Softwave therapy may be your best course of action.

While the events of what transpired during the 1780 British invasion of the Holy City — commonly known as the Siege of Charleston — have long been etched in stone, archeologists have recently undergone efforts to unearth material remains from the battle that forced U.S. troops to surrender to Gen. Henry Clinton and his soldiers.
Attendees at the Feb. 23 Summerville Preservation Society meeting at the Old Town Hall building were treated to a rundown of exploration digs conducted by several members of The Charleston Museum, The Historic Charleston Foundation and others at the Aiken-Rhett House, Wragg Square and Wragg Mall for artifacts of war and other pieces.
On hand to share those findings was The Charleston Museum’s curator of archeology Martha Zierden, who reported how her colleague and museum director Carl Borick spearheaded a project in recent years to “place the siege on the landscape of Charleston” by examining historic maps, first-hand accounts and terrain features.
Subsequent excavations in 2017 revealed positive evidence that allowed discovery crews to put siege lines on the ground.
“Generally, there were three parallels planned during the siege under General (James) Moncrief. The British opened their first parallel on April 1, roughly 1,000 yards from the American defenses, which would be today Spring Street,” communicated Zierden, a 40-plus-year employee of The Charleston Museum.
“If you get out and look, you could actually still see some of the subtle elevation differences — they still exist.”
Many of these landscape discrepancies were identified by lidar technology. It was noted, in fact, that lidar (i.e. laser imaging, detection and ranging technology) has spared archeology crews the labor of slogging through swamps, as designated planes have used the flyover 3D radar to record topography images.
Summerville Preservation Society members also learned about Zierden initially stumbling upon evidence of the siege via archeological testing of the Aiken-Rhett yard in 1985. Nothing but sterile soil was inside the northwest quadrant, while the southwest quadrant was “deeper and more complicated,” but the southwest quadrant, however, contained building rubble and artifacts of the late 18th century. A 2002 follow-up dig yielded brick on top of sand.
A magnetic radiometry device in a separate geophysical survey of Wragg Square, Wragg Mall and Aiken-Rhett signaled the presence of metal pipes, small ditches and a fence line, but none of these items at the time could definitively confirm that these areas once served as British trenches.
Crews returned to the Aiken-Rhett yard in 2017, as museum personnel and College of Charleston students dug through some challenging brick and brick-based rubble remains to locate 18th and early 19th century ceramics, along with a few buckshot pieces. But no musket balls or major armaments were brought to the surface — much to the chagrin of Borick and company.
“So, we’ve been fortunate that pieces of the siege line are preserved in properties that are protected: the Aiken-Rhett yard and the two city parks,” summarized Zierden, who concluded that the siege undertaking didn’t produce many artifacts overall.
Going forward, the museum will likely call technology into use in lieu of conducting physical digs since the former has proven to be less expensive and not as intrusive, per the McClellanville, South Carolina native.
The City of Charleston itself, she added, probably has liability concerns that may result from street excavations in the event of someone driving their car into a pit.
“Traveling in Charleston, every bit of that part of the city is building and building and building. Over the years, we’ve talked to private developers working up in this area about getting across or even just a peek at their profiles, and nobody’s been very cooperative. Charleston doesn’t have any kind of ordinance to require archeology — they don’t have to do anything.”

McClellanville is a fishing town in South Carolina that has traditionally relied on the sea and coastal marshes for fishing, shrimping, and oystering, which make up a significant percentage of the town's economy. The McClellan family was one of the earliest families to settle here, and the area was originally where local planters went to enjoy the milder seaside breezes. The town has gained notoriety more recently as the site of Hurricane Hugo's 1989 landfall. Hugo, which pounded the South Carolina coastline at the time, was the most damaging storm ever to strike the United States. Even though McClellanville suffered some setbacks in 1989, it has significantly recovered over the past 20 years. Residents of McClellanville enjoy a peaceful, rural lifestyle on the banks of Jeremy Creek.
McClellanville is a fishing town situated in Charleston County in the US State of South Carolina. It is located halfway between Charleston and Myrtle Beach and is just 11 miles east of Awendaw on Highway 17. McClellanville is placed within the Francis Marion National Forest, where a wide area of marshes separates the town from the Atlantic Ocean. Mount Pleasant and Charleston are 30 miles and 40 miles southwest of McClellanville, respectively. Right in the middle of town passes Jeremy Creek, and the town extends south to the Intracoastal Waterway, adjacent to Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge. McClellanville covers a total area of 6.11 sq. km, of which 5.80 sq. km is occupied by land, and 0.31 sq. km is covered by water.
According to the Köppen climate classification, McClellanville experiences a humid subtropical climate, with hot, humid summers and extremely cold, snowy, and windy winters. The average yearly temperature is 17.9°C, with July and January recording the highest (27.1°C) and lowest (8.2°C) average temperatures, respectively. On average, McClellanville gets 1351.3mm of precipitation each year, with August reporting the highest number (182.9mm). The snowy period occurs between December and February, with the rainy season lasting the entire year.
The history of McClellanville dates back to around five years before the Civil War when local plantation owners A. J. McClellan and R. T. Morrison started selling off waterfront lots along Jeremy Creek. To the west and south, wealthy plantation owners purchased the property to construct summer homes. The settlement was unnamed for some time. Finally, it was decided that McClellanville be the name of the town in honor of the earliest settlers, the McClellan family. Over time, the community was recognized for cultivating a wide range of food, manufacturing turpentine and tar, harvesting lumber, distilling salt during the Civil War, and, more recently, harvesting its renowned Bulls Bay oysters, clams, and shrimp. The islands, bays, and marshes that makeup McClellanville's shoreline were protected in the late 1930s by the Cape Romain Wildlife Refuge. The Francis Marion National Forest was created to manage the nearby forests.
According to the latest US Census, McClellanville has a population of 605 inhabitants with a median age of 42.3. The city's racial makeup is 560 white (non-Hispanic/Latino), 20 African-American or Black, and 6 Hispanic or Latino. The remaining are distributed among American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN), and some other races. English is spoken by 98.1% of the population. The rest speak Spanish (1.6%) and other foreign languages (0.3%). All of the population in McClellanville are naturalized US citizens. Veterans make up 15.7% of McClellanville's population, of which all are males.
Over the past years, the employment market in McClellanville has grown by 0.7%. The projected rate of job growth over the next ten years is 36.9%, which is greater than the 33.5% US average. The annual median income in McClellanville is $33,313. On the other hand, McClellanville residents' median annual household income is $75,781.
Visitors may explore 259,000 acres of magnificent pine forests, bogs, and marshes in four wilderness zones. This preserve houses various fauna, including the threatened red-cockaded woodpecker. Besides wildlife watching, the forest also offers several recreational opportunities, including camping, boating, and several trails which can be used for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, off-road motorcycling, etc.
This Colonial-era rice plantation has a magnificent Georgian-style home that was constructed between 1730 and 1750 with the proceeds of "Carolina Gold" rice that African slaves grew and gathered. There are guided tours available between 12 pm and 2 pm.
Through educational displays and innovative activities presented at the center throughout the year, one can learn more about the ecosystems of Cape Romain and the distinctive natural history of McClellanville. Check out the viewing area if you want to see the six endangered red wolves that dwell there.
McClellanville has endured countless hurricanes, yet it has managed to keep its beauty and quaintness. Today, it is a self-sufficient community with schools, old churches, lovely residences, a few stores, and docking facilities that speaks about an economy that is now mostly reliant on the sea rather than the land.

MCCLELLANVILLE — A centuries-old oak tree spanning about 30 feet in circumference at its trunk has become an iconic landmark in McClellanville.
Plans are underway to place the property under a conservation easement so the town can own it.
The Lowcountry Land Trust acquired the single-acre parcel this fall that holds the Deerhead Oak. Its base sits at the intersection of Pinckney and Oak streets.
Funds from the Charleston County Greenbelt Program and the landowner made the arrangement possible.
Named for an image formed by its branches, this special tree is the subject of artwork, murals and poetry in McClellanville, a news release said. The massive Deerhead Oak is bigger-bellied than the Angel Oak on Johns Island and taller too.
William Peter Beckman, a Confederate soldier who was stationed in McClellanville, opened a store in the tree’s shade at the close of the Civil War, according to reports. The town grew from his door.
The Deerhead Oak never stopped growing, either.
McClellanville Mayor Rutledge B. Leland III said the land has been passed down by members of the Beckman family since they opened the the town’s first store.
The Martin family in McClellanville has owned the property since the 1870s and has welcomed generations of residents and visitors to the tree.
“We are grateful for their (Beckman/Martin family) stewardship of the land and are honored to continue to preserve the park for generations to come,” Leland said in a news release.
In 2007, the Deerhead was named Heritage Tree of the Year by the S.C. Urban and Community Forestry Council for its cultural significance.
East Cooper Land Trust, now merged with Lowcountry Land Trust, started the work with the Martins years ago to conserve the Deerhead Oak property. Its former board chair, Justin Craig, recognizes the land as an area that brings people together and “defines our sense of place.”
“Land holds stories and connects people,” said Lowcountry Land Trust president and CEO Ashley Demosthenes. “Nowhere does that hold truer than a place like the Deer Head Oak.”
The land trust expects to transfer ownership of the property to the town in early 2023.

The Southeastern Wildlife Exposition (SEWE) returns Feb. 17-19. During this celebration of the great outdoors, local chefs, farmers and purveyors have a chance to shine on the Fresh on the Menu stage in Marion Square.
The South Carolina Department of Agriculture teams up with local food authors Matt and Ted Lee to curate 12 to 18 hours of educational cooking. The live demo features chefs and farmers on stage, followed by a tasting. Local restaurant chefs, catering chefs, private cooks, instructors and more will join “farmers,” which encompasses fisherman, crabbers, butchers and others, according to Matt Lee.
“That’s the miracle of this event,” he said. “You’re getting festival quality and stage culinary entertainment, but it’s free.”
This year’s lineup includes an array of talent from across the Lowcountry and the state.
Chef and co-owner of Vern’s Daniel “Dano” Heinze, who was recently nominated for a James Beard Foundation Award, is paired with Jonathan Cox of Lowcountry Fungi to work with king trumpet mushrooms at 1 p.m. Feb. 17.
“We have been working with Jonathan of Lowcountry Fungi since we opened Vern’s,” said Johnsman, who is distantly related to Meggett. “His king trumpet mushrooms have been a staple on our menu since day one and we look forward to being able to display them on stage at SEWE and talk about how they are cultivated and prepared at Vern’s.”
Recently announced 2023 S.C. Chef Ambassador Marcus Shell of 39 Rue de Jean is partnered with Marvin and Jada Ross from Peculiar Pig Farms at 3 p.m. Feb. 17 to showcase pork belly.
“It’s really exciting that we choose chefs based on their reputation, but then their reputation expands,” Ted Lee said. “And their talent expands and their awards expand, even from the time we asked them to the time that they appear on our stage.”
Day two kicks off with Emily Meggett, known as “the Matriarch of Edisto Island,” and Edisto neighbor Greg Johnsman of Marsh Hen Mill preparing a Hoppin John recipe at noon Feb. 18.
“Emily is the matriarch of my island, but she’s part of my family,” Johnsman said. “Over the years, I’ve had the chance to cook with local chefs, but it’s a true honor to do rice and peas with her. It’s just so pure. You just feel the home and the love in what she does because it’s done right.”
Johnsman is also a co-owner of Millers All Day, which will have a food truck in Marion Square with a special SEWE-inspired menu featuring items like duck wings.
City Paper contributing writer Amethyst Ganaway teams up with Tia Clark of Casual Crabbing with Tia during a 3 p.m. crab soup demonstration.
Day three highlights include chef Shaun Brian from James Island’s CudaCo cooking hot pork-fat clams on the half-shell provided by Jeff Massey of Livington’s Bulls Bay Seafood in McClellanville. Local clams have never been featured on the main stage, according to the Lee brothers.
“It’s my first SEWE, and I’m so passionate about it as a chef, hunter, gatherer and waterman,” Brian said about his appearance. “We have some of the best clams in the world. Sorry, Martha’s Vineyard.”
The Lee brothers said they do their best each year to incorporate the entire foodscape of the area, and not just limit the guests to famous fine-dining restaurant chefs.
“I think before our involvement, it was pretty reflexive — just put some Charleston restaurant chefs or hotel chefs up there, get it done and make it more of a lesson,” Lee said.
The Lee brothers joined the event in 2018. “[Ted and I] were like, no, this is a fun entertainment moment with a food takeaway that highlights the close connections between South Carolina products and South Carolina chefs of all kinds.
“We decided to mandate that every chef appear with a farmer on stage, so you get much more exciting stories unfolding,” he added. “Watching chefs cook is attractive and fun, but especially if they’ve got some fun stories to tell. It feels casual and natural, and always more like a team on stage.”

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) — Plans are finally in motion to replace the old Lincoln High School with a brand new school in McClellanville.
It's been nearly a decade since Lincoln High closed. At a board meeting Wednesday night, there was finally talk of what a new school would bring the community.
Charleston County School District leaders presented a slideshow detailing the future of the new high school and middle school in northern Charleston County.
CCSD considering magnet program for future high school in McClellanville area. (WCIV)
Since the closure of Lincoln High School, kids are waking up earlier to make the bell at Wando High and returning home late because of the long drive.
The constituent school board said a new school will bring relief to the people living in Awendaw and it will provide help to the schools already reaching capacity.
The district is looking at attendance lines within the area while looking at creating a magnet program.
"I do believe a partial magnet or magnet program of some kind might be within the programming options and given that it's going to have a size of 1,000 students it will probably need to pull in some areas other than just the McClellanville and Awendaw area," said Pamela Jouan-Goldman, Chair of the District 2 Constituent School Board.
Scenarios of possible zoning were shown during the meeting.
The methodology was based off the fiscal year 2022 data.
Parents voiced their concerns of drawing the line further down into Mount Pleasant.
"You do not want to force a family who is living right next door to a school go up the road to another school if at all possible so that's why were looking at the magnet as an opportunity to attract families that want to go there despite any increase in distance then they would have," Chief Operating Officer of CCSD Jeff Borowy said.
The district's goal is to get 500 students in both the middle and high school.
Thomas Colleton, Chair of the District 1 Constituent Board, said the school will need to offer something enticing.
“It is important to this build the school but at the same time let's figure out what were going to be doing inside. The curriculum means a lot," Colleton said.
“I don't know how much it would make sense to drive by Wando High School to get on (Highway) 17 to go up to Awendaw, but it does sound like they are going to have different specific programs at their school. So for example if they have got a great art program and my daughter is really into art, that sounds like a nice option to have," said Jonathan Mars, a parent of students at Carolina Park.
Colleton said it's crucial everyone is transparent throughout this process.
Their next steps will be to develop a blue-ribbon committee to review these options and create a draft to be presented to the constituent boards in October.
"I'm hopeful this blue ribbon commission will ease some of this tension, and let people know going to another school, which would be a state of the art school, why wouldn't you want your child to go there," Colleton said.
The Kaiser Farm Tract property was leased in December of 2021 to the former owner to be used as a hay farm.
The three-year lease agreement is able to be terminated at any time with a 90-day notice.
It's also possible a park and library could be built on the property in the future.
