The Pawleys Island Chiropractor to see - Chiropractor Pawleys Island

Our Specialties

Sports Injury

Specially trained in assessing and treating sports injuries, Dr. Fico has successfully treated hundreds of patients with sports-related pain and injuries, especially golf, tennis and running. An avid sportsman, exercise physiologist and chiropractic physician, Dr. Fico is uniquely qualified to help patients better understand their very individual physical limitations and body mechanics.

In addition to providing our patients intensive treatment, we place most of our patients on rehabilitation programs including therapy and exercises during their office visits. The in-office rehabilitation is complemented by therapy and/or exercises prescribed for patients to do at home. This reinforces the ongoing role the patient plays in achieving his/her own optimal health. Rehabilitation is an integral part of ensuring that our patients not only get out of pain but stay out of pain by working to correct the problem not just treat the pain.

Biophysics

We’re all in a constant battle with gravity. We use Biophysics to help produce optimal posture and spinal alignment. Adjustments help restore segmental integrity to the spine, decrease abnormal weight distribution and avoid spinal degeneration. As your spine assumes a more competent relationship with gravity, symptoms often diminish and health can return.

Neurology

Chiropractic Neurology marries the biomechanic/orthopedic aspect of chiropractic care with the latest techniques of assessing and rehabilitating the central nervous system. We help integrate all aspects of the nervous system so your body and your brain work in harmony. This holistic approach is helpful when symptoms involve limbic (emotional) system, sensory/motor control and cognitive abilities.

Extremities

Virtually every articulation of your skeletal system is susceptible to fixations that impair function and range of motion. Many different joints of the body can lose their normal motion and position. We evaluate and when necessary, adjust shoulders, ribs, elbows, knees, wrist, hip, ankle and even the jaw. Patients notice improved range of motion and reduced inflammation.

Our Adjusting Techniques

We use a number of highly-effective adjusting approaches to help improve spinal bio-mechanics and reduce nervous system interference. The approach we use is based on our judgment and years of experience.

The primary adjusting techniques we use include:
