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.

Hibben House: Mount Pleasant’s Oldest Home, A Historical Gem

They’d also talk about the scores of ships that pulled up to nearby docks, bringing visitors from near and far.

If only these walls could talk! They’d sure have plenty to say. They would tell about when General William Moultrie held a parley here with Lord Cornwallis during the Revolutionary War. They’d also talk about the scores of ships that pulled up to nearby docks, bringing visitors from near and far. And they’d talk about the two little children who dug for hidden treasures just outside the walls.

Shannon and David Wood, the current owners of the Hibben House, know the stories. That’s because Shannon grew up next door and remembers Julie McIver, the owner of 111 Hibben St. back then, reciting them to her. After all, McIver’s family had lived in the house for nearly a century, so she knew those stories by heart. But the house resembled a museum then and was filled with antiques. That was only natural, since McIver’s mother, Petrona Royall McIver, was a local historian.

When the Woods family purchased the house 10 years ago, they had young daughters and wanted the home to be more comfortable for their family’s lifestyle. So, their version of the house’s interior is tailored for casual living. The walls are painted light colors and adorned with local art, some of it Shannon’s own work.

“I like the walls to be bright. That makes the art pop. And I like the lived-in feel. It’s important to me to not be too formal or stuffy,” Shannon explained. The blend of ancient oak floors, wainscoting and pocket doors with modern light fixtures, granite countertops and contemporary furnishings (along with some antiques) is more to her family’s liking. “I love the eclectic mix.”

The house was built circa 1755 by Jacob Motte as part of his plantation named – you guessed it – Mount Pleasant. It’s believed to be the oldest structure in town. James Hibben purchased the house and the surrounding 67 acres from Motte’s estate in 1803 and divided the tract into 35 lots for residential development, 10 of which he gave to his 10 children to build their homes. Five streets were also laid out – Beach, Bennett, Whilden, Boundary and Venning – and the village of Mount Pleasant was born.

When Motte built the house, it was only half the size it is now. The two symmetrical wings or bump outs, as Shannon calls them, were added by a more recent owner, an Englishman, to give the house a much larger living space – now almost 3,900 square feet. He also added a heavily windowed sunroom providing ample light and a breathtaking view of the harbor. And he installed air conditioning. Shannon remembered, “Miss Julie (McIver) never felt the need to put in air conditioning. The open windows and doors were enough to capture the harbor breeze and keep it comfortable inside.” She also recalled that, “for years, a cannonball held the door open. Miss Julie’s father had found it in the sandbank. It’s gone now, so I guess the Englishman took it with him.”

Since transportation was primarily by boat centuries ago, the large porch and entrance facing the harbor was originally the front of the house. In 1890, the other side, facing Hibben Street, became the front. That’s when the columns were added.

Shannon’s parents bought the house in 2012, thinking one of their four grown children might eventually want to buy it from them. Shannon and David took them up on the offer. They have transformed the half-acre property into an urban retreat, complete with a putting green and garden overlooking the harbor. Shannon explained, “This is where we put most of our money. It was just a dirt yard before.” But David, who enjoys gardening, has kept the century-old camellias that McIver planted and tended.

Shannon owns a framed copy of a letter between Washington and Cornwallis that she obtained from the Charleston Library Society in which Cornwallis offered land in Jamaica to Washington if he surrendered (obviously, he refused). And on her modern coffee table, she displays a glass box showcasing various artifacts – shards of pottery and the like – that she and her brother found in the yard when they were children. “Miss Julie (McIver) would let us dig. We were always digging up stuff. If I wasn’t an artist, I’d be an archaeologist!” Shannon mused.

The house has had only a handful of owners over its nearly 270 years. “We are thrilled to have this house!” exclaimed Shannon. And for her, it’s coming full circle – from having grown up next door, then living with her husband at Pirates Cove and I’On and now back here. “I feel like it was meant to be. I think Miss Julie (McIver) is our guardian angel – she wanted us to be here. And I feel as though I have a responsibility to preserve the house for Miss Julie’s sake and share its rich history with future generations.”

Behind the Bar: Charleston Sports Pub

For as long as Mark Pulley can remember, he has been working in the food and beverage industry. Growing up in Ware Shoals, South Carolina, a small town of about 3,000 residents and 81 students in his graduating class, Pulley started his career cooking and waiting tables in a restaurant owned by a friend of his mother’s.

For as long as Mark Pulley can remember, he has been working in the food and beverage industry. Growing up in Ware Shoals, South Carolina, a small town of about 3,000 residents and 81 students in his graduating class, Pulley started his career cooking and waiting tables in a restaurant owned by a friend of his mother’s. When Pulley decided to expand his horizons and leave a town where everybody knows everybody, he moved to Greenville, where he waited tables at various chain restaurants. Everything changed the day that one of the bartenders called in sick and Pulley had to fill in. That moment marked the start of his new career as a mixologist.

Praised by his customers for being friendly, attentive, quick on his feet and for crafting excellent bloody marys and margaritas, Pulley soon found himself behind the bar at a popular tippling spot in downtown Greenville. Cranking out the tips every night, Pulley learned that the establishment was being sold and it seemed the perfect time to pursue his dream of moving to Charleston to live near the beach.

Here in Mount Pleasant, he started bartending at what was formerly known as East Coast Wings and worked his way up to bar manager. Not long after, Pulley learned that the joint was being sold to Perry Freeman. Pulley wasn’t too worried about finding a new job though, as some 150 to 200 regulars emailed Freeman urging him to keep Pulley on staff because as they said, “He comes with the building.”

Now, seven years later, Pulley still enjoys slinging drinks behind the bar in the same location, called Charleston Sports Pub. He said his favorite cocktail to make during the summer is what he calls “Mark’s Special Sunrise.” To craft the delicious and refreshing drink, Pulley suggested using equal amounts of pineapple, cranberry and orange juices, along with 1.5 oz of Malibu Rum and a splash of ginger ale. His bar menu favorites include the bird dog fries, a pretzel, stuffed jalapenos or the crowd pleasing fried green tomatoes.

The most rewarding part of his job, Pulley said, is meeting people, whether it’s visitors or locals and listening to their stories. “Plus,” he added, “my passion is getting to come to work and watch sports every day.”

When asked about earning the Best Bartender of Mount Pleasant award two years in a row, Pulley said he’s going for a third. “It’s not just me,” he said. “It’s the bar staff. I share the award with everybody.”

To meet Pulley, drop by the pub anytime during the day on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays or at night on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. You won’t find him behind the bar on weekends, however, because he’ll be watching sports either on the big screen at Kickin’ Chicken or traveling with friends somewhere to catch the Green Bay Packers or the Atlanta Braves.

MOUNT PLEASANT S.C. (WCBD)-After years of planning for a new entertainment venue in Mount Pleasant, that idea is one step closer to life as developers presented new renderings of the space called Gather Mount Pleasant to town officials.

On Wednesday, during a preliminary review with the Town of Mount Pleasant Design Review Board, the renderings were approved with minor tweaks. Developers said the board wanted more plans to eliminate traffic congestion.

In 2021, developers proposed a new entertainment and retail space in the heart of Mount Pleasant right off Hungry Neck Boulevard near Interstate 526.

“This area is so central within Mount Pleasant. It’s incredibly accessible, and we feel like it’s hidden in plain sight, a little bit kind of, you know, diamond, a diamond in the rough, and we feel like there’s a need in this little pocket of Mount Pleasant for walkable bike, food, and beverage, and it works. We’re excited to bring that,” said Mack Cross, A Co-Developer of Gather Mount Pleasant.

The multi-million-dollar project would sit on 5 acres. Developers said the venue will have a stand-alone restaurant, office space, retail space for small business owners, an outdoor common area, space for live entertainment, and a parking lot.

“We want to ensure the development is perfect for the community, and that’s folks who live nearby. Still, the greater Charleston community, which we think works well, is a casual space that is great for families. Great for groups, easy to get to with excellent food and service,” Preston Wendell, A Co-developer of Mount Pleasant.

One resident I spoke to said he’s familiar with the developer’s first location Gather Greenville, and he’s excited about the possibility of the venue coming to Mount Pleasant.

“I am super excited about having one right here in the community because we don’t cook very often, and so it’s an easy option just to walk right over and, as I said, a lot of options as far as food and that sort of thing live music it’s fun,” said Rick Schaltegger, a resident in Mount Pleasant.

The development company has the final hearing in August, and Officials said they hope to break ground by the end of 2024.

MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (WCSC) - Residents of Mount Pleasant can still provide input on a road improvement project on the Rifle Range Trail and Long Point Trail.

The Charleston Moves organization wants Mount Pleasant residents to weigh in on these designs before it’s too late.

The Town of Mount Pleasant hosted an in-person meeting to collect community input on the proposed Rifle Range Trail and Long Point Trail segments as part of the Mount Pleasant Way project.

For those who could not attend the meeting, online surveys are set for residents to vote on.

The goal of the project is to provide safe and efficient infrastructure for everyone to get around the town.

Questions that are featured on the survey ask if the concept is supported and what amenities residents would like to see included in the projects like benches, swings, water fountains and workout stations.

The Long Point Trail would provide continued access between the river crossing and neighborhoods.

The Rifle Range Trail is a proposed multi-use path project that is proposed to run along the west side of Rifle Range Road from the roundabout at Venning Road to Bragg Drive.

Friday is the last day to share your input and click to complete the survey for the Rifle Range Trail and Long Point Trail segments.
