At Neuropathy and Spine Center of South Carolina, we specialize in diagnosing and treating a variety of medical conditions in Charleston SC to ensure our patients receive the best care possible. Below is a list of the conditions we help to support your health and recovery.

Herniated Discs

Herniated discs, slipped discs, disc bulges are synonymous conditions for when the disc (the cushioning between your spinal joints) starts to leak or push through its fibrous protective layer. This often results in pain, pressure on the nervous system, and can result in weakness in the back or limbs.

Sciatica

The sciatic nerve is made up of the lower lumbar and sacral nerve roots. Compression on these nerves, whether from disc bulges, spinal stenosis, or foramenal stenosis, causes pressure on the sciatic nerve that can result in sharp shooting pain that starts in the low back and can radiate down the back of the leg, going as far down the toes. It is usually one sided

Headaches in Charleston SC

Headaches can be caused by a variety of factors, including high muscle tension, improper cervical spine mechanics, dehydration, and more. They may present in different forms such as tension-type, post-traumatic, frontal, occipital, or ocular headaches.

TMJ

TMJ issues often stem from tension in the neck and jaw. Chronic tightness can pull on facial fascia, leading to discomfort. Teeth grinding or clenching also contributes, and misalignment of the joint can be addressed through chiropractic care.

Whiplash

Whiplash can result from car accidents, sports injuries, falls, or similar impacts. The rapid back-and-forth motion places stress on soft tissues, leading to pain, inflammation, soreness, and in some cases changes in the cervical spine curve.

---

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

This condition involves compression of nerves, arteries, or veins between the neck and upper chest. It can result in chest discomfort, as well as pain, numbness, or tingling radiating into the arm, shoulder, or neck.

---

Carpal Tunnel

Carpal tunnel syndrome presents as pain, numbness, or tingling in the wrist and hand due to compression of the median nerve. This may originate from the cervical spine, forearm, or wrist and is commonly linked to repetitive movements.

---

Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy affects the circulatory and nervous systems and often begins in the feet, progressing upward. Symptoms may include numbness, tingling, burning, sensitivity, cramping, balance issues, and other sensory changes.

---

Concussions

Concussions or traumatic brain injuries involve damage to the brain and nervous system. Inflammation within the cranial space can affect both brain and spinal function, and proper nervous system support is essential during recovery.

---

Neck Pain

Neck pain often results from restricted or improper movement in the cervical spine. This can lead to stiffness, muscle tension, and nerve irritation. Chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper motion and alignment.

---

Low Back Pain

Low back pain is commonly caused by dysfunction in the lumbar spine involving joints, discs, muscles, or nerves. It may present as localized pain or radiate into the hips and legs, often accompanied by stiffness and muscle tightness.
