Spinal Decompression Therapy in Mount Pleasant, SC

Could you imagine going through life every day with near-debilitating, chronic back pain? Back pain is one of the most common ailments in America - it's estimated that 8% of all adults, or 16 million people, suffer from chronic back pain in the U.S. every year. If you've never experienced a back injury or pain, be thankful. Chronic back pain affects every aspect of a person's life, from participating in sports to limitations with everyday activities, like cooking dinner. In fact, many people with chronic back pain can't even make a reliable living and put food on the table. Almost 83 million workdays are lost every year due to choric back pain.

Spinal Decompression Therapy Mount Pleasant, SC

The inability to work and provide isn't just a physical issue - it can become an emotional one too. Many people suffering from chronic back pain also suffer from depression and anxiety. Unfortunately, in the past, chronic back pain sufferers wanting to avoid addictive medications and invasive surgeries had few viable relief options. However, if you're suffering from a chronic back issue like sciatica, a pinched nerve, or a bulging disc, pain relief may be closer than you think.

Modern chiropractic care and, more specifically, a spinal decompression chiropractor in Mount Pleasant, SC, may be the long-term solution you need for chronic back pain.

A common misconception is that chiropractors only adjust your back and neck when, in fact, they treat the whole body with all-natural treatments. Here at Elite Healthcare, our doctors focus on your overall health, not just pain. We want to find and address the underlying causes of your symptoms. If you're unfamiliar with an integrative approach to medicine, this strategy may seem new. Our chiropractic care is less about putting a band-aid on the problem and more about finding a natural, long-term solution to your pain.

Fortunately, our experienced chiropractors provide the best in natural pain relief. Prescription and over-the-counter pain medications mask the symptoms you're experiencing versus getting to the cause of your pain. Pain is often the result of your spine being out of alignment, which leads to nerve issues. Once your spine is back in alignment, the nerves function correctly again.

Because our chiropractic center offers a combination of different therapies and non-surgical treatments, we provide a comprehensive approach to healing. Depending on the extent of your back problems, spinal decompression therapy may be the answer to your chronic pain problems.

Service Areas

Non-Invasive Treatment for Back Pain

Invasive procedures, like back surgeries, often leave the patient racked with pain, long recovery times, and complications. Sometimes, the surgery doesn't work as intended, leaving the patient responsible for a therapy that didn't work correctly. As a non-invasive treatment, spinal decompression therapy can treat back and neck pain without needles, incisions, or harmful manipulations of the spine.

Back Pain

Long-Term, Significant Pain Relief

Getting back pain relief from surgery is far from guaranteed. However, because spinal decompression targets the underlying causes of your back pain, it's a much more effective long-term treatment. Spinal decompression is not a quick fix. When coupled with positive lifestyle changes like losing weight, you can maximize the pain-relieving benefits of spinal decompression.

Significant Pain

Little-to-No Recovery Time

Surgery of the back and spine requires the patient to be bedridden and uncomfortable for days and even weeks. Recovering from back surgery is no easy feat and often requires strong pain medications to help. Sometimes, back surgeries don't go as planned, causing complications and worse scenarios. Spinal decompression, on the other hand, is very effective and doesn't require much recovery time at all. Once your spinal decompression session is over, you'll probably be able to drive yourself home from our office.

Recovery Time

No Addictive Medications

One of the least talked about issues with back pain medications is that they only treat the pain, not the underlying causes. For many patients, relying on meds to relieve back pain fosters dependency on pain pills. Pain pill addiction is a very serious issue in the U.S., often leading patients down a dark path. With spinal decompression, you won't have to worry about taking pills for pain relief. That's because the root causes of your back pain are addressed, not just the symptoms.

No Addictive Medications

Cost-Conscious Treatment

If you were to look at the cost of surgery and subsequent years of prescription medication, you might be shocked. When compared to spinal decompression, surgery is a much more expensive treatment to consider. You've got to take the cost of surgery into account, but also the fact that you'll be forced to take time off work. By choosing spinal decompression therapy, you're choosing a safe, non-surgical treatment that doesn't require any time off work.

Cost-Conscious Treatment

Natural Healing

Spinal decompression relieves pressure on disrupted discs, causing them to retract back into place. This revolutionary treatment also lets oxygen, fluids, and nutrients re-enter your spinal discs, which provides additional healing.

A Mount Pleasant restaurant that’s been open less than a year has shut its doors for the time being, citing a lack of workers.

Cabana Burgers & Shakes posted a notice on its website and its doors recently that its location at 2664 U.S. Highway 17 “will be closed until future notice due to staff shortage.”

The restaurant opened last April in the former space of the breakfast diner Eggs Up Grill.

Cabana has another location in Live Oak Square on Maybank Highway on Johns Island. It remains open.

A restaurant representative did not immediately respond for further comment.

Now serving

A restaurant chain that plans to add four Lowcountry locations celebrated its grand opening Jan. 10 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at a renovated fast-food site.

Huey Magoo’s Chicken Tenders can be found at 4954 Centre Pointe Drive in a former Hardee’s restaurant site across from Tanger Outlets in North Charleston.

Franchisee Philip Horn said he and business partners are targeting Goose Creek for the next location. The Florida-based company has one other South Carolina restaurant, in Greenville.

Popping in

A discount chain’s new offering is now open in North Charleston.

Popshelf, a higher-end version of Dollar General, can be found at 7250 Rivers Ave. in the Target-anchored North Rivers Towne Center. It’s open 9 a.m.-9 p.m. daily.

Items, priced at $5 or less, include seasonal, home decor, health and beauty aids, home-cleaning supplies, household and specialty items, arts and crafts, party supplies and toys.

Popshelf is partnering with The Confetti Foundation to provide birthday parties to children who have to spend their birthday in a hospital, pediatric oncology clinic or hospice facility.

Popshelf debuted in Nashville in the fall of 2020 and now has 100 locations in nine states, including more than 40 store-within-a-store sites that combine Popshelf and Dollar General offerings. The company plans to have 1,000 stores by 2025.

What’s cooking?

A new restaurant from the couple who brought Community Table and Kiki & Rye to Mount Pleasant is ready for its debut in downtown Charleston.

Southbound, part of Free Reign Restaurants owned by Ryan and Kelleanne Jones, has tentatively set Jan. 24 as the opening date, pending the certificate of occupancy from the city.

They will host a hiring happy hour 5:30-7:30 p.m. Jan. 11 for the new venue in a two-story house at 72 Cannon St.

The couple said the Southbound concept actually came before the other two ventures, but delays and the interruption of COVID-19 led to the opening of those first.

Community Table opened four years ago in the I’On neighborhood, while Kiki & Rye launched in mid-2020 in Belle Hall Shopping Center during the height of the pandemic.

The Mount Pleasant couple moved to the Charleston area more than seven years ago after operating a restaurant in Connecticut for several years.

Southbound’s menu will include appetizers as well as main dishes such as steaks, pork chops and seasonal fish along with vegetarian options.

“Everything will be focused on live-fire cooking and local dishes,” Ryan Jones said.

The main level of the 2,000-square-foot space will include a 10-foot open hearth with seating around it and about 45 seats outside on a wrap-around porch and terrace. The upstairs will include a bar and dining area.

The restaurant will employ more than two dozen workers and be open at 4 p.m. daily for dinner.

Powering up

A new technology store connected to Apple products is now open in Mount Pleasant.

TechMonk has taken over the former Simply Mac store at 675 Johnnie Dodds Blvd. near the end of Shelmore Boulevard. The Apple premier partner offers a range of sales and repair services.

Simply Mac went bankrupt last summer. Georgia-based TechMonk has another South Carolina location, in Myrtle Beach.

New perk

A new café is now open in North Charleston. The Coffee House, offering coffee, breakfast and lunch, can be found at 3620-2 Ashley Phosphate Road. It also offers daily specials.

Now open

Cannon Street Apothecary is a new CBD-inspired business now open at 83 Cannon St.

Owners and sisters Megan Lawson and Cara Applegate said they offer a curated, 100 percent vegan organic product line from a grower in Oregon. The shop is open after 11 a.m. daily.

On the way

A former drug store under renovation in North Charleston now has two businesses on the second floor.

Tranquility day spa and Charleston Counseling Co-Op will open Jan. 13 at 2000 Reynolds Ave. in the former two-story Miller-Rexall Drug Store.

Tranquility owner Julie Allen, a former lead therapist with several luxury hotels in Charleston, will offer facials, massages, halotherapy and infrared sauna along with other health and wellness services.

Charleston Counseling Co-Op, owned by licensed clinical social worker Katherine DuPre, is a mental health counseling agency and coworking space for counselors.

The downstairs storefront remains under renovation.

Walmart Wellness

The nation’s largest retailer is once again hosting a Wellness Day this weekend to get people on the path of healthiness.

More than 4,600 Walmart pharmacies across the U.S. will participate from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Jan. 14.

The health promotion includes free screenings for glucose, cholesterol, body mass index and blood pressure, as well as immunizations for a fee for the flu, mumps, measles, tetanus, HPV, rubella, chicken pox/shingles, whooping cough, Hepatitus A & B and other maladies. COVID-19 vaccines are free.

To find a free event, go to walmart.com/wellnesshub. Select stores also will feature vision screenings and in-store giveaways and demonstrations of wellness products.

Mount Pleasant traffic study to focus on patterns, volume

MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (WCBD) – Leaders in the Town of Mount Pleasant will soon assess traffic patterns and volume through a comprehensive study.

Mayor Will Haynie said the town will take an in-depth look at the flow of traffic and see what can be done to reduce the number of vehicles traveling on roads throughout the town.

“I mean, there always seems to be traffic,” said one motorist. It’s a concern often echoed to town leadership by those who live or work in Mount Pleasant.

“The number one complaint I get from residents is traffic,” said Mount Pleasant Mayor Will Haynie in an interview with News 2.

Mount Pleasant’s leaders have taken note of those concerns – they are now preparing to act.

“What we want to look at; what we’ll be discussing at our committee on Monday is a comprehensive look at traffic management in the town,” Mayor Haynie said.

Mayor Haynie said the study is not about building new roads, it’s about managing the traffic on roads already in use.

“We’re going to look at how the signals work,” he said. “We’re going to look at how the turn lanes are striped; we’re going to look at where the traffic patterns are.”

Drivers say the study is long overdue.

“The population here over the past decade has increased greatly. The roads are exactly the same,” said motorist Braden Burleson.

Drivers say they see several issues on the town’s roadways

“The volume of traffic, the stop-and-go of the lights. You can get momentum, you can look ahead, and the light looks green, but you’ll be slamming on breaks because cars aren’t able to get through the light,” Burleson continued.

And because of those issues, drivers do not always feel comfortable on the roads.

“I don’t feel too safe. I feel like I’m ready to get off the road,” she said.

Telisha Haworth, who said she often finds herself in stop-and-go traffic while commuting to work, is pleased to hear about the forthcoming study.

“I think that’s good. Definitely looking into it. I mean, I don’t know if they’ll be to fix it or not.”

Town leaders said the goal of the study is to reduce traffic and improve residents’ quality of life.

“The more you are at home with your family enjoying that quality of life, instead of sitting in traffic, the better,” said Mayor Haynie.

Mayor Haynie said this will be the first comprehensive traffic study conducted for the town since 2017.

A three-day festival experience for all things Charlie Chaplin is coming to town. Chaplin, famously known for his mustached, bowler hat-wearing character “the Little Tramp,” was one of the most influential filmmakers of the silent movie era.

His use of slapstick comedy and pantomime in his movies, or dramatic, exaggerated movements in place of words, launched him to international stardom.

On March 23 to 25 at Mount Pleasant Towne Centre, a selection of Chaplin’s films will be played on the big screen, and festivalgoers can learn more about the man behind the icon.

The festival will feature a keynote from University of Pennsylvania professor Dr. Toni Bowers, who teaches an advanced cinema studies course on Chaplin’s silent films. Bowers plans to speak about who Chaplin was beyond the Tramp character, and the lasting impacts his films have had on the film industry.

“We’ll explore the almost uncanny appeal of the Tramp figure on a global stage. I also want to go further than that and think about Chaplin himself, the man behind the Tramp who was definitely not the Tramp in any way. I also want to think about Chaplin’s artistic processes,” Bowers said.

Festival organizer Linda Dennis hopes the event will expose the Mount Pleasant community to Chaplin’s work and educate attendees on the role the filmmaker had in motion-picture history.

“Had Charlie not come out with some of his silent films following the close of World War I, the world would have been a sadder place. He was known for bringing love and laughter to populations who had just gotten over war, so he’s had a huge impact on our culture,” Dennis said.

Events lined up for the festival include a Tramp look-a-like contest, a filmmaking demonstration, and of course, screenings of Chaplin’s films at Regal Palmetto Grande. Festivalgoers can view The Kid (1921), The Circus (1928), Modern Times (1936) and City Lights (1931), which is said to be Chaplin’s personal favorite of his films.

The Mount Pleasant SC Film Festival – Charlie Chaplin Silent Films will be held at Mount Pleasant Towne Centre on March 23-25, with a half-day showing at Barnes and Noble for seniors on Friday and Family Day set for Saturday. Sponsors for the festival include Mount Pleasant Towne Centre, Barnes & Noble, Sweet Julep’s, Filmdomfete and Jon Smith Subs. For a full schedule of events and to purchase tickets, visit mountpleasantscfilmfestival.com.

“It’s not just a film festival. It’s an experience,” Dennis said. “We hope people come and enjoy it and come inside and watch some of the films.”

MT. PLEASANT, S.C. – Coastal Carolina saw a 3-0 lead erased late in the contest on Tuesday night, as the Chanticleers fell 4-3 on the road at the College of Charleston in Mt. Pleasant, S.C.

The loss dropped Coastal to 4-4 overall and 0-2 in midweek contests. With the win, Charleston moved to 4-3 overall.

The loss snapped a three-game winning streak for the Chants over the Cougars.

Despite a solid start from super senior Jack Billings, who struck out two hitters and allowed just two hits over 2.0-complete innings, and a career outing by sophomore pitcher Darin Horn, who fired a career-high 4.0-scoreless innings and struck out four CofC hitters, the Chanticleers were unable to steal a road win.

The loss fell to junior transfer Alex Edmondson (0-1), as the righty gave up two runs on two hits, two walks, and one strikeout in 1.0 inning of work out of the bullpen.

While the Cougars used four pitchers on the night, the win went to 2022 Colonial Athletic Association Pitcher of the Year William Privette (1-0), as the reliever struck out one over a scoreless eighth and ninth innings.

Coastal's offense used the long ball to score all three of its runs for the game, as sophomore Derek Bender (2-for-4, HR, 2 RBIs, run) hit a two-run home run in the second and senior Graham Brown (1-for-4, HR, RBI, run) added a solo home run in the sixth.

However, the Chants had just seven hits for the game compared to 12 strikeouts at the plate.

The Cougars' offense had just eight base hits on the night but was able to plate four runs, highlighted by Jared Kirven (3-for-4, 2B, 2 runs) and his game-high three hits. William Baumhofer (1-for-4, 2B, 2 RBIs) had a two-run double, while Luke Wood (1-for-1, 2B, RBI) and Khyree Miller (1-for-3, BB, RBI, run) had one RBI each in the win.

After both teams stranded a runner in the first inning, the Chants took a 2-0 lead in the top of the second on a two-run opposite field home run off the bat of Bender. The home run was his first of the season.

Billings and Horn combined to strikeout six hitters and strand three Cougar runners over the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth innings, while the Chants added to their lead with a solo home run to straightaway center field by Brown in the top of the sixth. The long ball was the third of the year for Brown.

However, the Cougars were able to cut into the Chants' 3-0 lead in the bottom of the seventh, as Kirven led off the inning with a double to left field. After a ground out moved Kirven to third base, Miller hit a ball deep in the hole on the left side of the infield and legged out a base hit to plate Kirven to put the score at 3-1.

On the play, an errant throw to first base allowed Miller to advance to second base, which proved to hurt the Chants, as two batters later, Wood hit a pinch-hit double to right-center field to score Miller and cut the Coastal lead to one at 3-2.

Following a 1-2-3 inning for the Chants in the top of the eighth, the Cougars struck again in the bottom half of the inning as Baumhofer delivered a double down the left-field line and just out of the reach of a diving Chad Born to score two more runs and put the home team on top 4-3.

With three outs left, Privette was able to send the Chants down in order in the top of the ninth to seal the come-from-behind win by the Cougars.

The Chanticleers stranded six runners on base compared to the Cougars' seven.

However, CCU also hit into two double plays and was just 2-for-15 (.133) with runners in scoring position for the game.

Coastal will return home to host the Davidson Wildcats for a three-game series this weekend, March 3-5, at Springs Brooks Stadium.
