Spinal Decompression Therapy in Pawley's Island, 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 Pawley's Island, 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 Pawley's Island, 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.

Three towns in South Carolina were listed as some of the favorites to visit nationwide, according to FamilyDestinationsGuide.com following a poll conducted on thousands of families across the country.

After determining the top 150 “best small towns in America,” three of them were found to be within the Palmetto State.

Small towns have become increasingly popular vacation destinations and travel sites for families as the quaintness can offer a sizable reduction of traveling stress, grant more time together and even be more budget-friendly.

“Visiting small towns has become increasingly popular as travelers seek authentic and personalized experiences that provide a break from the fast-paced, commercialized world. These hidden gems offer a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in the local culture, connect with friendly communities, and escape the stress of everyday life.” said Rose Ackermann of FamilyDestinationsGuide.com.

As for South Carolina, Beaufort, Georgetown and Aiken all made the list and are no strangers to being crowned as some of the state’s favorite small towns.

Georgetown came in at 53rd overall and was described by the site as a place where families can enjoy the nearby beaches, which include Litchfield Beach and Pawleys Island.

Downtown Historic Georgetown is reportedly the third oldest city in South Carolina and is described as a must visit destination for those who enjoy waterfront shopping, dining, boating, fishing, historic tours, and ghost tours, according to Historic Georgetown. The site also describes Georgetown as a “perfect place” for a destination wedding.

In 59th overall, Aiken was described to offer families a variety of dining and shopping options, which can allow for ample possibilities for spending some quality time together.

Visitaikensc.com described the town as having numerous attractions, such as equine pursuits for those interested in horseback riding, arts, sporting facilities, an abundance of nature, a part played in the nation’s railroad birth and the fight in the Cold War era. A visit to Aiken allows guests to get outdoors, experience history, have ample shopping opportunities and walk through parks.

Beaufort came in 67th overall due to its rich history, beautiful beaches and abundance of outdoor activities, according to FamilyDestinationsGuide.com.

“Families can explore the historic downtown area, take a boat tour of the harbor, or spend the day at one of the many nearby beaches. There are also plenty of outdoor activities such as kayaking, fishing, and biking. With its unique culture, stunning scenery, and variety of activities, Beaufort is the perfect place for a family vacation,” the site continued.

Beaufort is known for winning many accolades and for its breathtaking Lowcountry scenery. In addition, Beaufort has been seen in big-name movies and has racked up some impressive statistics.

According to Beaufort.com, several famous movies have been filmed in Beaufort, such as Forrest Gump, The Prince of Tides and The Big Chill. The site also states that Beaufort contains about 25% of the marshlands on the country’s entire coast.

Although none of the SC towns made it into the top 10, the 10 selected “best small towns” following the poll included:

Pawleys Island golf cart permit increases to $25 effective immediately

PAWLEYS ISLAND, S.C. (WMBF) - Pawleys Island town council has voted unanimously to increase the golf cart permit fee to $25 effective immediately.

The reason for the increase according to Mayor Brian Henry is the increased workload for town administrators.

“We’ve got two administrative employees that are balancing a significant workload, more so than they have in the past, and enforcement. We have law enforcement officers out on the streets every single day,” said Henry.

The town paused the distribution of permits until the vote for the new fee. The old fee was $10 for the year.

“Carts with no decals, we did issue a significant amount of summons last year, parking summons for vehicles with no decals. If we do find one that is unoccupied and parked illegally, we put a boot on it,” said Chief Mike Fanning of Pawleys Island P.D.

Before the vote, residents were able to give their opinions on the increase.

“I can understand why you want more money, but there are other ways to go about it. You could try the cars parking here coming from out of town. You could charge less if it’s done online or in person,” said Wayne.

“If we’re doing this to generate revenue, we’re missing the big picture. You could be generating a lot more revenue by people coming and going off this Island on a regular basis,” said Rick.

While some residents didn’t mind paying the increase, they wondered if outside-the-town golf cart owners would have to pay.

“I have no problem paying golf cart fees, my understanding is the golf cart fee is for carts driven by the owners. I believe there are many golf carts that are on the Island that park at the beach that are not driven by the owners,” said John Batiste.

“In addition to current rules, maybe come up with best practices for users, especially the renters and rentals. Publish and share them,” said Chuck Supple.

Myrtle Beach golf news: PGA Tour event set to start in 2024 and a beloved golf course gets a long-awaited refresh

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. - The place that calls itself "Golftown, U.S.A." is starting to get its mojo back.

Recently, the Charleston Post & Courier reported that Myrtle Beach is in talks with the PGA Tour to bring elite professional golf to the area for the first time.

Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce CEO Karen Riordan confirmed the two sides are working towards an agreement to bring the tour to town for at least a four-year stint, with the first event, tentatively called the Myrtle Beach Classic, to play out in May of 2024.

No host venue has been named as yet, but the leading candidate would seem to be the Dunes Golf & Beach Club, the Robert Trent Jones, Sr. design that has anchored the area golf scene since it opened in 1948. Recent renovations overseen by Jones' son Rees have updated bunkering and stretched the course out to more than 7,400 yards. It was a stout test when it co-hosted the PGA Professional Championship in 2014; Michael Block's winning score of 2-under par that year was the highest since 2005. In addition, The Dunes has hosted PGA Tour Q-school finals (1973), the Senior Tour Championship (1994-1999) and three U.S.G.A. championships: the U.S. Women's Open (1962), the U.S. Senior Women's Amateur (1977) and the U.S. Women's Four-Ball (2017).

Other area courses with the potential to host the infrastructure and crowds a PGA Tour stop would bring would be the Dye Club at Barefoot Resort (perennial host of the Monday After the Masters pro-am) and TPC Myrtle Beach (which hosted the 2000 Senior Tour Championship soon after it opened). But The Dunes would be the strongest choice.

The addition of a PGA Tour event - especially one that becomes a pillar of next year's revamped schedule - would figure to bump Myrtle Beach up from #11 on our list of the world's top 100 golf destinations.

Nearly four and a half years after original architect Jack Nicklaus returned to the course to offer suggestions for its improvement, Pawleys Plantation Golf & Country Club in Pawleys Island, S.C., will embark upon a four-month renovation project this summer, as the course turns 35 years old. Nicklaus associate Troy Vincent will lead the project with the primary goal to bring a bit more playability to a layout that has long been regarded as one of the most demanding in resort golf.

In addition to restoring the course's greens to their original sizes after decades of shrinkage, Vincent will reduce some of the bunkering, including several large, tough-to-maintain expanses of sand that primarily ensnare - and enrage - high handicappers. The remaining bunkers will be rebuilt with the state-of-the-art Capillary Concrete drainage system, which prevents washouts after big rain events. Vincent will also oversee some significant tree removal, which will help the course breathe and make maintenance a bit easier.

"Pawleys Plantation has been a fixture in the Myrtle Beach area since its opening in 1988," said Vincent. "When completed, you can expect larger greens, less bunkering and more native areas that will be playable."

Other updates at Pawleys Plantation include clubhouse renovations, including new outdoor dining areas overlooking the 18th green.

Pawleys Plantation is one of 21 Myrtle Beach-area courses owned and operated by Founders Group International (FGI). Grande Dunes Resort Club, another FGI property, received a similar renovation last year, as well as its own clubhouse upgrades. And Pine Lakes Country Club, the area's oldest course (originally opened in 1927), is maturing in the wake of its own renovation in 2021.

Some other area properties are tentatively scheduled for updates this year, with a focus on clubhouse renovations at River Club and Willbrook Plantation Golf Club in Pawleys Island, as well as some bunker work at the Arthur Hills-designed PineHills Course at Myrtlewood Golf Club and Long Bay Club, the area's other Jack Nicklaus Signature course.

In golf-adjacent Myrtle Beach news, Tiger Woods will bring his putting-centric "golfertainment" concept PopStroke to town soon. Per longtime Myrtle Beach golf beat journalist Alan Blondin for On The Green Magazine, the new location will be situated at the area's Broadway at the Beach shopping, dining and entertainment complex and will open sometime in 2023, not far from Myrtle Beach's Topgolf location.

Pawleys Island approves contract to monitor beach erosion after renourishment work

PAWLEYS ISLAND — Town Council moved Feb. 13 to retain Columbia-based Coastal Science and Engineering for the next three years to monitor the town’s beaches following a 2020 beach renourishment project.

The town retained CSE for post-project monitoring in 2021 and 2022 as well. The permit requires the town to have its beaches monitored for erosion and the project’s effectiveness for five years after the start, Town Administrator Daniel Newquist said.

The work in the $116,870 contract includes surveys of the beach and inshore sands that received renourishment, plus aerial photography and annual reports.

“It’s a very useful report, truthfully,” Newquist said of CSE’s annual reports on beach conditions. “They’ve been very helpful in assisting the town with post-storm documentation that we can utilize for (Federal Emergency Management Agency) purposes and such. It’s kind of, I think, a logical contract for us to maintain.”

The proposal Town Council members considered on Feb. 13 includes an add-on task: a post-storm survey after the damage from Hurricane Ian in late September.

CSE’s 2022 annual report drew from an August survey, prior to Hurricane Ian’s landfall near Georgetown. The report contains a brief section on Ian near its end, and CSE assessed the beach in the days following the storm.

CSE Vice President Steven Traynum submitted a report on Ian’s damage to the Pawleys Island beach on Oct. 6. Traynum’s report found that the renourishment project “served its purpose” in protecting the island from sustaining even worse damage than it did during Ian.

“Without a project, CSE believes many homes along the south end would have been severely damaged or collapsed, damage to the road surface of Springs Ave(nue) may have been severe, and damage would have been much greater along all areas of the island,” Traynum wrote.

Newquist said the timing of the 2022 survey work was “critical” for analysis of the beach post-Ian.

“We need to kind of prepare for the next renourishment and whether that needs to occur sooner rather than later,” Newquist said. “Their survey work will really dictate what kind of outlook we have.”

Newquist said it is still too early to tell whether renourishment will need to happen sooner than expected because of Ian. He noted that emergency renourishment was not recommended by CSE.

Sand fencing and vegetation installed after the renourishment project saw damage during Hurricane Ian, according to CSE’s 2022 report. However, it also states that storm water levels did not top the crests of the renourished sand dunes.

The former Hotel Grande Bretagne in Bellagio will be converted and rebranded to open as The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Como, in 2026.

Spanning more than 16,500 square meters, the hotel will undergo a complete conservative restoration and reimagining.

HILTON GARDEN INN GROWS IN APAC: Hilton Garden Inn, the upscale brand by Hilton, has opened Hilton Garden Inn Beijing Haidian Daoxiang Lake, its 50th hotel in Greater China.

Hilton Garden Inn debuted in Greater China in 2014, welcomed 900,000 guests in 2022 and plans to triple its footprint in the region in the coming years. The brand is looking towards Asia to fuel its growth as pent-up travel demand continues to drive post-COVID recovery in Asia Pacific, with the expanding middle-class likely to be more price-cautious and value driven. The prototype, lean operating model and kit-of-parts approach of the brand aim to make it adaptable for emerging and established destinations, as well as city and resort settings. The brand expanded into newer markets and gateway cities in South Korea, Japan, Australia and Thailand this year, with plans to open more than 20 hotels across Asia Pacific. Hilton Garden Inn’s global portfolio now includes over 970 hotels in 57 countries. The brand has 65 operational properties in Asia and more than 100 in the pipeline.

THE KINNEY SLO REBRANDS: The Kinney SLO in California has completed its transformation into The Wayfarer San Luis Obispo.
