OUR MISSION
At South Cherokee Chiropractic, we are passionate about bringing health to as many people as possible. We will appreciate, educate, and love everyone who comes into our office to positively affect their ideas and beliefs about the health and long-term wellness benefits of chiropractic.
We believe that everyone deserves health care that treats them as a whole person; so we listen to your concerns, identify your needs and design a treatment plan based on your condition. Unlike traditional medicine, we do not rely on medications and surgical interventions to treat our patient's conditions.
We take a more natural approach, using manipulation of the spine, soft tissue, and joints to realign the musculoskeletal system.
Our goal is to achieve and maintain a state of wellness for each patient. Treatments for neck pain, low back pain, and other musculoskeletal conditions may include adjustments, cupping, postural correction, rehabilitative exercises, instrument-assisted soft tissue therapy, and Kinesio-taping.
