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.
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 North Charleston, 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.
Initially developed in 1985 by Dr. Allan Dyer, spinal decompression has been used by chiropractors for years. Unfortunately, spinal decompression is often passed over as a viable treatment, despite its numerous benefits.
In the past, patients suffering from chronic back pain issues like herniated discs were usually prescribed powerful medications. They were instructed to refrain from physical activities, referred to a physical therapist, and sent on their way. While physical therapy has an important role in back pain recovery, some back conditions need a more comprehensive treatment approach. For those patients, surgery seemed like the only option.
Today, patients with chronic back pain have many more options to consider. One of the most effective treatments for serious back pain is spinal decompression. This proven therapy, provided by Elite Healthcare, has been shown to significantly reduce pain and help patients live a normal, even active lifestyle once again.
Spinal decompression, also called Lumbar Cervical Decompression Therapy (LCD Therapy), is a very effective non-surgical solution to chronic back pain problems. If you're like most patients, your back pain is caused by disc issues related to your spine. This type of therapy uses computer technology and a spinal decompression machine in cityname, state, to stretch your spinal column slowly and gently, relieving abnormal pressure on the discs in your back, which sit in between your vertebrae.
This precise stretching action causes negative pressure to form inside the discs in your back, making them retract. With time, this negative pressure causes a reverse vacuum of sorts that actually draws your protruding discs into place. When pressure is removed from the disc segments in your spine, you experience much-needed pain relief.
The primary purpose of spinal decompression therapy is to provide you with immediate pain relief while creating a healthy environment to heal your spinal disc condition. Some of the most common conditions that spinal decompression therapy treats include:
This happens when spinal discs in your back are pushed outside of the spinal canal. When pushed outside of their usual space, these discs can put pressure on the nerves in your spine, resulting in localized pain and pain throughout your body. If a bulging disc is left untreated, it has a high chance of rupturing, which can necessitate surgery and longer recovery time.
Herniated discs are discs in your back that fracture or crack and leak fluid. The fluid or gel that leaks from a herniated disc may irritate the nerves in your back. When this happens, you may experience an intense burning sensation that shoots up and down your lower back and legs.
As you grow older, joints in your body, like your knees and hips, begin to wear away with time. The same thing can happen to the discs in your back. Often caused by heavy lifting or a family history of spine problems, degenerative discs are painful and can lead to serious situations. In advanced cases, bone spurs can form and affect the nerves of your spine.
When a herniated disc or bone spur begins to put pressure on the nerves in your back, it often causes sciatica. Sciatica is a common back problem that causes pain to radiate from your lower back down your legs via your sciatic nerve. Sometimes, this pain is only felt in one of your legs.
This condition is similar to arthritis of your spine, where the cartilage inside your facet joint breaks down and becomes inflamed. The result is often intense neck and back pain. It's most often caused by degenerative changes in the joints located between the bones of your spine.
This painful condition manifests when the space in your backbone is too small. When this happens, pressure impacts your spinal cord and the nerves that travel through it. Like other conditions treated by a spinal decompression therapy cityname, state, stenosis is caused by wear-and-tear in your back, which forms arthritis.
This term is often used to classify a range of back problems, most often caused by a pinched nerve root in your spinal column. This pinched nerve root may occur in different locations down your spine, like the lumbar or thoracic areas. Usually caused by a narrowing of the space where your nerve root leaves the spine, symptoms of this condition include pain, tingling, numbness, and weakness.
If you're looking for a safe way to relieve your chronic back pain, spinal decompression should be on your list of treatments to consider. This painless procedure is backed by research showing higher success rates in many patients when compared to spinal surgery. Unlike many medications, spinal decompression from Elite Healthcare Physical Medicine is designed to correct the condition you're facing while also minimizing costs and eliminating recovery and downtime.
Some of the most popular reasons why patients choose spinal decompression over surgery and other treatments include:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

By now, you probably have a better idea of how spinal decompression can help rid your life of back pain. But spinal decompression treatment does more than help with bulging discs, herniated discs, arthritis, and more. It has also been shown to provide patients with important quality-of-life benefits.
As mentioned above, harsh surgeries leave you bedridden and unable to work for long periods of time. Spinal decompression allows you to jump right back into the workforce, so you can continue providing for your family. Plus, reducing your back pain naturally increases your mobility since you won't be stressing about hurting yourself while moving. Instead, you'll be living in the moment.
One of the worst symptoms affecting people with back pain is the inability to sleep well. Sleeping with back pain can be horrible, causing you to toss and turn to find a comfortable spot. As soon as you find one and get settled, your back starts to hurt again. It's a vicious cycle, but adjusting your spine and relieving pressure with spinal decompression will help you get a good night's rest.
Did you know that when your spine is decompressed, it helps fluids circulate throughout your body? These fluids actually flush your lymphatic system, which helps support your overall immune system. Better circulation also benefits your brain and can help boost concentration and memory. The improved circulation from spinal decompression may also distribute oxygen and nutrients to your skin, creating a multi-benefit effect.

Three restaurants will open in the fall in two new multiunit retail buildings under construction in an expanding North Charleston ...
Three restaurants will open in the fall in two new multiunit retail buildings under construction in an expanding North Charleston shopping center.
In part of a 15,000-square-foot building southeast of PetSmart in Cedar Grove Commons on Dorchester Road, Buffalo Wild Wings plans to open by late September, according to city Councilman Ron Brinson. Several other units remain available in the structure.
Across the parking lot in an 8,050-square-foot building under construction, Chicken Salad Chick should open by early to mid-October while First Watch plans to open by Thanksgiving, Brinson said in an email to his constituents.
European Wax Center also plans to have a shop in the smaller retail building, according to site plans.
Another outparcel in the shopping center will house a branch of Fifth Third Bank. Construction has not begun on the site, but it’s expected to be in operation by next spring, Brinson said.
He noted the developer informed him that tenant interest remains strong and a new phase of retail development is planned near discount grocery store Lidl, which is at the northwest end of the shopping center.
Cedar Grove also includes Ross Dress for Less, Ulta, Five Below, HomeGoods and Firehouse Subs.
A new place to get a caffeine boost is opening in the Lowcountry.
Scooter’s Coffee will host its grand opening Aug. 18 at 5641 N. Rhett Ave. in North Charleston where a Hardee’s restaurant once operated.
The cafe, owned and operated by Caroline Sbarra, Chandler Bigelow and Rebecca Bigelow, offers drive-thru service, specialty coffee and baked-from-scratch pastries. It’s open 6 a.m.-8 p.m.
Nebraska-based Scooter’s has other locations in South Carolina in Columbia, Greenville, Lugoff and Orangeburg. Others are in the works for Anderson, Sumter and Duncan near Spartanburg, according the company’s website.
A new restaurant is on the way to a major shopping destination in North Charleston.
Mario’s Peruvian Chicken plans to open at 4948 Centre Pointe Drive, next to Japanese restaurant Seasons of Tokyo.
It’s expected to welcome diners in the fall across from Tanger Outlets. Mario’s has one other Charleston-area location in East Cooper, next to Mount Pleasant Towne Centre.
A new convenience store and gas station is nearing completion in West Ashley.
Construction on a Greenville-based Spinx at 4000 W. Wildcat Blvd. is expected to be completed by September with an opening in the fall.
A new discount store is being built between two massive housing developments in Berkeley County.
A project commencement notice recently was filed to begin construction on a new Dollar General store at 1851 State Road, also known as U.S. Highway 176.
The site is near Nexton and Cane Bay, where thousands of homes are on the ground or on the way in unincorporated parts of the county.
The C. Leon Dennis Trust of Summerville bought the 1.42-acre tract in May for $2.4 million from SC Summerville 176 II LLC, according to county land records.
A fast-food restaurant in West Ashley recently went dark.
Hardee’s at 2563 Ashley River Road closed near the end of July. A sign on the door directs customers to another location on Savannah Highway.
The proprietors of three breakfast restaurants in the Charleston area are branching out into pet care.
Jackie and Marc Cotone, who own the Eggs Up Grill locations in Cane Bay, Knightsville and Ladson, will hold a grand opening celebration for the Lowcountry’s first Dogtopia franchise noon-4 p.m. Aug. 19 at 619 Myers Road in Summerville.
The business offers day care, boarding and spa services and is offering 25 percent off select enrollment plans for the first 100 dogs that are enrolled.
The 6,400-square-foot shop is part of a multitenant building. Arizona-based Dogtopia has about 200 locations nationwide, with two in South Carolina in Greenville and Fort Mill.
An Alabama-based breakfast restaurant chain will open its second location in the Charleston area later this month in a space that once served morning meals.
Big Bad Breakfast is taking over the spot vacated in January by Cabana Burgers & Shakes at 2664 U.S. Highway 17, near the recently opened Bohemian Bull restaurant. A soft opening is set for Aug. 26, with the grand opening on Aug. 29.
Before Cabana Burgers & Shakes’ eight-month run at the site, the property housed an Eggs Up Grill location that closed in 2021.
The restaurant will be open 7 a.m.-2:30 p.m. daily, serving a full breakfast menu along with lunch items such as sandwiches, burgers and salads as well as alcoholic beverages, including mimosas, beer and wine.
The other Lowcountry location, at 456 Meeting St. in downtown Charleston, opened in 2019.
Big Bad Breakfast has 17 other locations across eight states in the Southeast, with three more in the works. They stretch as far west as Little Rock, Ark., where another one is planned, to as far north as Louisville, Ky. Others are planned for Huntsville, Ala., and Durham, N.C., according to the company’s website.

Dive bar with famous food Tattooed Moose offers a classic example of two thin patties, onions, lettuce, tomato, American cheese, and special sauce between toasted kaiser rolls. Don’t leave without ordering a side of duck fat fries.
Edmund’s Oast chef Bob Cook knows his meats, so it should be no surprise that he puts out not one but two superior burgers. Cook brings the Artisan Meat Share burger, from his former restaurant, with a slightly sweet bacon jam and spicy jalapenos for a fun balance. The Edmund’s Oast version is the classic bread and butter pickles, special sauce, onion, and tomato with patties and bun.
Herd Provisions is a Wagener Terrace neighborhood favorite. The regular menu offers an all-American burger with pickles, lettuce, onion, plus secret sauce, but on Mondays, the restaurant tries out new versions, like a recent special with barbecue sauce, crispy onions, arugula, pickled peppers, provolone, and burger patty mixed with Neuske’s ground bacon.
Moe’s has flipped burgers for over 20 years, making this dive a go-to destination any time a craving strikes. The well-worn griddle puts out expertly seared thick beef patties at an astonishing pace. The menu offers a ton of topping variations — try the goat cheese and poblano combo or the more traditional fried green tomato BLT option.
During most days of the week, Maison puts out stunning plates of classic French flavors, but on Wednesdays, chef Vandy Vanderwarker releases a burger that is simply a work of art. The kitchen builds everything from scratch, including the duck fat bun. This burger is house-ground beef, house-made duck sausage, melty caramelized onions, a rich Gruyere sauce, and a bordelaise that takes the umami levels up to 100. After the first bite, you will need a knife and fork to finish this masterpiece.
The smoke masters at Home Team BBQ always have a burger on the menu, topped with harissa mayo and a King’s Hawaiian roll, but you should look out for the on-off burgers, usually posted on Instagram. A recent special included a thick, pit-smoked patty with bacon and jalapeno mayonnaise.
Spring Street restaurant Bistronomy by Nico offers a French take on the burger on Monday nights. Made in limited numbers, the patties are formed from North Carolina-raised wagyu beef and topped with a generous amount of Gruyere cheese, caramelized onions, and cornichon ketchup. It’s best enjoyed with a glass of French red wine.
Tully’s offers the ideal version of a late-night burger. It’s got all the definitive markers of a classic: sesame bun, griddled patties, shredduce (shredded lettuce), American cheese, and thinly sliced tomato and onions. Find the walk-up window on the side of the Music Farm.
Customers only have one chance to devour the celebrated Ted’s burger each week. Stop by on Saturday for this Charleston staple, which is made using Painted Hills natural beef and grilled in the Big Green Egg. It’s one of the thickest patties on the peninsula.
Posh hotel the Dewberry isn’t the first place you’d look for a big meaty burger, but its stunning midcentury modern bar, the Living Room, offers a great example of the usually humble offering. The high-quality beef is topped with onions, bordelaise, Emmenthal cheese, a potato bun, and a tiny cornichon on top. Pinkies up.
Dive bar/punk rock venue Big Gun specializes in burgers and excels at the classic with American cheese, onion, pickles, and special sauce. It’s an easy stop to squeeze in on the way to, or from, the bars on King Street. Though, if you want to stay put at Big Gun, check out the extensive collection of craft beers and whiskeys.
Battle the South-of-Broad crowds for a seat at the bar at classic steakhouse Oak if you want to try a prime example of a burger made with Certified Angus Beef. The patty is a combination of New York Strip, filet, and brisket (which could be why it rings in at $21). The burger is topped with Nueske’s bacon and served with truffle fries. Feel extra fancy and start the night with a dirty martini and oysters before tucking into the burger.

Why visit North Charleston when you’re already so close to its more glamorous neighbors?
The best answer is Riverfront Park — 12 acres that offer views of dolphins, giant ships and the future.
Located on the former Charleston Naval Base along the Cooper River, the park is dotted with sculptures among its live oaks and open terrain. There’s a dog park and restaurant on-site, and a splash pad area for kids in the summer.
But the boardwalks and new bridge that gained international attention for its design are the main attractions.
Starting on the south end, you’ll see Navy ships and others awaiting repairs at the shipyard next door. And massive containerships sail by so close you could hit them with a rock. (Don’t do this.)
Keep your eyes on the water as you walk. Dolphins often pop up from the river, while egrets and other birds explore the shallow areas near the bank.
As you cross the raised bridge over Noisette Creek, it doesn’t take much imagination to see what’s next. Another boardwalk is being built along the waterfront. And those abandoned warehouses won’t stand the test of time. The city is looking for a developer to reimagine these 70 acres as a place where people can work, play and live.
Today, this end of the park feels like a ghost town. If plans work out, it’s destined to be a popular destination in North Charleston.
Go now and you can brag that you were there before it went mainstream.
And before you go, check the events schedule: The park regularly hosts festivals and concerts on weekends.

A short walk or drive from Riverfront Park will land you in North Charleston’s downtown, centered along Montague Avenue and dotted with shops and restaurants. The large park inside a traffic circle that gave this area its name has been getting a $20 million facelift, but it’s scheduled to reopen in 2023.
North Charleston Coliseum & Performing Arts Center
Alice Cooper played here in May. So did Zach Bryan. The venue also hosts a variety of musicals, comedy acts and other events, including pro wrestling and monster truck shows. It’s also home to the local hockey team, the Stingrays.
Firefly Distillery
Firefly has one of the best outdoor music venues in the region. Bring a blanket and sit on the grass next to the marsh while the band plays onstage. Food trucks ring the seating areas. Some summer 2023 performers included My Morning Jacket, Fleet Foxes, Two Friends and Lupe Fiasco.
The distillery also hosts local acts on its porch from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturdays.
North Charleston Farmers Market
The city’s farmers market runs from May through October on Thursdays from 3 to 7 p.m. It’s a smaller operation, but you’ll find a good variety of fresh fruits and vegetables.
The Codfather
Fish and chips, done well and fast. Pour a little malt vinegar on everything and order a side of the mushy peas, which taste better than they sound.
Dashi
Try the duck quesadilla or bahn mi wrap at this Asian and Latin fusion restaurant on Remount Road.
Holy City Brewing
Whether you’re here for a drink or a meal, make your way out to the back patio overlooking the marsh.
Tanger Outlets
This outdoor mall has a variety of name-brand stores selling their goods at a discount.
H & L Asian Market
This store is stocked with Asian foods and products you’re not likely to find at Piggly Wiggly or Harris Teeter.
Welch’s Seafood
This tiny market has a variety of fresh fish, crabs and oysters. Buy your fish whole or pick a few filets. Grab a pound of shark meat and make yourself a top-of-the-food chain dinner.
Choice’s Gourmet Market and Deli
The market is stocked with meals made daily in the kitchen. Check out the homemade desserts at the front counter, where you can also order a pizza or sandwich. The shelves are stocked with fancy pastas and wines. Near the back, you can find fresh pesto and frozen treats.
When one thinks of wood, the ideas of life, structure and shelter come to mind. Our readers this week showed these aspects and more.
This week’s winner is Paul Stone with a photo of wood that, at first glance, looks like a turtle. The honorable mentions are Denise Chastain with an image of dead tree that once stood at Broom Hall Plantation in Berkeley County, and Ken Robichaux with a photo of a walkway on Jekyll Island, Ga.
Next week’s topic is movement, which will be a challenge to capture in a photograph but stunning when done correctly.
The rules: Send your best photo to yourphotos@postandcourier.com by noon Thursday. Include your name, town and where the photo was taken. Add your name and the topic to the file. If you want your photo to be eligible to run in the newspaper, it must be at least 1,500 pixels, not have a commercial watermark and not have been published in another publication.
