  • Thermography Scan of Central Nervous System

    Nerve System Scanning Technology

    Cypress Chiropractic uses an incredible, advanced technology called the INSiGHT that accurately assesses the health and function of the nervous system. It consists of thermographic scanning and Heart Rate Variability (HRV). These quick and easy scans are non-invasive and for both adults and children.

    The data derived from HRV and thermography enables the creation of highly personalized care plans tailored to you or your family’s unique needs. Since every individual’s body responds differently to stressors and interventions, having specific data points ensures that chiropractic adjustments are both effective and efficient.

  • A man with poor posture and the same man with good posture

    Posture Correction

    Your posture respresents the overall function of your body and spine. Poor posture and/or "tech neck" creates persistent mechanical stress on the spine and whole body by shifting the head and brain forward, exponentially increasing the workload on the surrounding nerves, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Prolonged dysfunctional posture accelerates disc degeneration, restricts blood flow, increases tension, and requires excess energy just to facilitate basic physiological tasks. 

    At Cypress Chiropractic, posture is corrected at its root source through precise, targeted chiropractic adjustments. By realigning the spinal vertebrae and bringing more mobility and function to the joints of the spine, the brain and nervous system can be restored to a more natural and optimal state.

  • A spinal cord with life force energy flowing through it

    Chiropractic Care

    Chiropractic care is the science and art that concerns itself with the relationship between the structure (primarily the spine) and function (primarily the nervous system) as that relationship affects the restoration and preservation of health.

    The health of your spine is vital to the life that flows through you. The spine not only provides essential structural support for your whole body, but it is also the home of your spinal cord, which is an extension of your brain and part of your central nervous system (CNS).

    Cypress Chiropractic looks to the spine as an avenue of recovery from pain and symptoms, injury, disease, dis-ease, disorder, and dysfunction. Our Charleston chiropractors work with the spine as a means of healing, energetic flow, opportunity, opening, and more LIFE!

  • Athletes benefit from sports chiropractic care

    Sports Chiropractic

    Athletes depend on their body to compete, function optimally, and quickly recover from the physical stress they put it through. The benefits of holistic chiropractic include strength enhancement and performance, spinal and energetic alignment, improved balance, as well as coordination and proprioception (the brain's awareness of the body in space).

    Cypress Chiropractic, a chiropractor in Charleston SC, provides spinal and extremity assessments and adjustments, so if you’re noticing dysfunction outside of the spine, such as with your shoulders, elbows, knees and feet, those areas can be checked and adjusted if necessary too.

    Other services include Kinesiotaping, Soft-Tissue Mobilization, and more! Learn more by clicking the link below.

  • Kids deserve chiropractic care and they love it

    Family Chiropractic & Pediatric Care

    Families that live a lifestyle of health and wellness are healthy and strong together. Children have a spine and nervous system just like their parents, however children are developing their brain and nervous system at a rapid speed! Every new lesson a child learns creates a new neural brain pathway. Chiropractic ensures those neural pathways are clear.

    Cypress Chiropractic is where family wellness meets prevention. Healthy children grow into healthy adults. If you need to schedule an Initial Session for your whole family, please call us at 843-277-4885.

FAQs

What is the “crackle” sound that you hear when getting adjusted?

The “crackle” sound that you may hear along with a chiropractic adjustment is called a cavitation. A cavitation occurs when the synovial fluid in a joint releases oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. A cavitation is not necessary in order for a successful adjustment to take place, and there are many types of adjustments that are not accompanied by a cavitation at all.

Does Cypress Chiropractic & Wellness accept medical insurance?

Cypress Chiropractic & Wellness, a leading chiropractor in Charleston, is not in network with medical insurance companies; however, you do not need insurance to get checked and adjusted. Just like car insurance, medical insurance often only covers costs in a crisis situation. Car insurance does not cover routine maintenance, oil changes, and new tires, and yet if we drive and own a car, we pay for those services, no questions asked. Medical insurance is very similar in that it also does not cover routine maintenance for your body and mind. The biggest difference is that the maintenance of our body directly affects our lives.

The prices on your initial spinal check are posted in the booking site here. Care instruction discounts are available and usually discussed at your second appointment.

Once I start going to a chiropractor, do I have to keep going?

First of all, you only get one spine and nervous system in this lifetime and YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON THEM! You cannot just go buy a new set, like you can buy a new car. If you want your health to be optimal for a lifetime, you have to take care of your spine for a lifetime, but here are some other questions to consider…

If you want to be healthy and fit, do you have to continue to exercise and eat right?

If you want a happy marriage, do you have to continue to work on your relationship?

If you want to pay off your mortgage, do you just pay it couple times a year or do you keep paying every month for decades?

The same goes for having a fully functioning spine and nervous system. It takes your continuous commitment to maintaining it and keeping it well.

Many people choose to continue to get their spine and neurology checked because they prioritize it.
