At Back 2 Health, we believe the very best results are achieved by giving patients personalized treatment and access to a comprehensive list of rehab services.

Enjoy Long-Term Healthwith Chiropractic Care

Many of the patients we see who are injured report that conventional methods like pain meds and surgery don't really solve their pain problems - they just mask them. When you throw in the risks associated with surgery and pain meds, alternatives like chiropractic care make a lot of sense. If you're looking for a safe, non-invasive treatment, combining the benefits of physical therapy with chiropractic adjustments is a great option for pain relief and overall well-being.

At Back 2 Health, our chiropractic physicians diagnose and treat patients with health problems associated with the body's muscular, nervous, and skeletal systems.

The Benefits of Chiropractic Care

As the saying goes, a healthy spine equals a healthy person.

Just about every type of chiropractic care revolves around your spine. When your vertebrae are misaligned, the nerves surrounding them become compressed, resulting in pain. When a chiropractor restores your spine's natural alignment, it reduces your pain and other medical symptoms. To achieve pain relief, Back 2 Health chiropractors use focused pressure to restore healthy vertebrae motion and loosen frozen joints. This process allows the nerves along your spine to properly function and carry messages to and from your brain.

There are many benefits of using chiropractic care alongside physical therapy in Charleston, SC, and other solutions like massage therapy. Some of the most common benefits of chiropractic care include:

Less Neck Pain

Less Neck Pain

Sitting in one spot for hours or frequently bending at work can cause horrendous neck pain. Whether from work or a car accident, our chiropractors ease that pain by realigning your spine, which reduces the tension on your neck.

Eases Back Pain

Eases Back Pain

The American College of Physicians says that doctors should recommend non-medical treatments for back pain prior to surgery. Chiropractic care helps tremendously in this regard, correcting subluxations through techniques like spinal decompression.

Helps Relieve Headaches

If you suffer from tension headaches that start in your upper spine or neck, chiropractic care may be the solution you need for relief.

Can Help Prevent Opioid Reliance

Can Help Prevent Opioid Reliance

Unfortunately, many people with back pain become addicted to pain meds like opiates. However, a study by the NIH found that adults who visited a chiropractor weren't as likely to receive an opioid prescription for pain when compared to those who only visited a medical doctor.

The Back 2 Health Chiropractic Care Process

Our team of chiropractic doctors excels at finding and analyzing improper vertebrae placement. Once those areas are discovered, they use advanced techniques to correct subluxations, returning your body to its proper alignment. This strategy is key in correcting vertebral subluxation complex, which can affect your long-term health and how your body functions.

Like other practitioners, our chiropractors follow common standards and procedures to diagnose and treat you with chiropractic care. On your first visit, we'll get your medical history, conduct physical, orthopedic, and neurological examinations, and may order lab tests for further info. We may also use X-rays and other essential tools to focus on your spine and its proper function.

If needed, our chiropractors may conduct a postural and spinal analysis to discover if vertebral dysfunction is affecting your nervous system or causing a skeletal imbalance, which lowers disease resistance and causes additional pain.

Enjoy Long-Term Healthwith Chiropractic Care

Massage has been used for thousands of years to promote relaxation and relieve pain. And while most people think of getting a massage as a treat, purposeful massage therapy demonstrates an incredible ability to heal and restore overall wellness. In fact, modern applications have been proven to be very effective when used to supplement physical therapy. A complete review by the Institute of Work and Health found that massage had measurable effects vs. placebo treatments. That's excellent news for patients who need physical therapy to help heal injuries.

The benefits of massage therapy for issues like back pain and shoulder pain are numerous and include the following:

  • Improved Circulation - Massage therapy helps blood move through congested areas, improving your body's ability to function.
  • Accelerated Injury Recovery - Rehabbing an injury can be a long, arduous process. Massage therapy accelerates your recovery, keeps you relaxed, and helps motivate you to continue physical therapy in Charleston, SC.
  • Help with High Blood Pressure - Massages have been shown to lower your blood pressure in an all-natural way.
  • Better Posture - Weather due to an unresolved injury or aging, stiff and overworked muscles often result in bad posture. Massage can help relax your muscles and tendons, bringing your body back to its original alignment.
  • Improved Athletic Performance - Athletes who endure minor injuries on the court or field use massage to recover faster, allowing them to get back to training so they can improve.
  • Complementary Treatments - At Back 2 Health, we use massage to complement other services that our clinic offers, such as physical therapy, chiropractic care, and medical injections for pain or inflammation.

Inflammation & Joint Injections: Pain Relief When You Need It Most

If we're being honest, few people look forward to a medical procedure that involves needles. But the proper injection may reduce or even eliminate joint, nerve, muscle, or spinal pain plaguing you for years, all within a few hours. At Back 2 Health, we combine medical injections for immediate relief with other treatments like physical therapy in Charleston, SC, that repair factors causing inflammation in your body, providing permanent results.

In many cases, inflammation is a good thing - it helps heal injuries and subsides when the healing process is finished. In many cases, however, inflammation doesn't go away. It actually becomes counterproductive, causing severe pain, swelling, restricted movement, and even structural damage that prevents normal bodily function.

What Are Inflammation and Joint Injections?

Joint and inflammation injections from Back 2 Health help relieve pain and inflammation by reducing blood flow and limiting immune system cells at the affected joint. These injections typically contain a corticosteroid and an anesthetic. The corticosteroid helps with inflammation by limiting blood vessel dilation, while the anesthetic helps with immediate relief of pain.

Generally, joint and inflammation injections can serve two purposes: for pain relief and for diagnostic purposes. As a diagnostic tool, these injections can help our doctors identify the source of pain you're enduring. As a pain reliever, injections help reduce inflammation around the affected joint, providing localized pain relief with few, if any, side effects.

What Are the Benefits of Inflammation and Joint Injections?

Patients who qualify for medical injections from Back 2 Health enjoy a number of short and long-term benefits, including:

  • Quick Relief - If you're suffering from intense pain, an inflammation injection may provide relief before you leave our physical medicine clinic in South Carolina.
  • Localized - Because these injections can be applied to a specific body part, like your knee, your irritation can be solved without affecting your whole body.
  • Long Lasting - One medical injection at our office can help with pain and inflammation for weeks, not hours.
  • More Movement - If you're suffering from severe inflammation, an injection from Back 2 Health can help restore your range of motion.
  • Dependability - Medical injections should still work even if you have grown accustomed to pain medicines and opiates.
  • Side Effects - Unlike invasive surgeries, you won't have to miss days or weeks away from work so that you can recover.

  • Pinched Nerves
  • Back Pain
  • Neck Pain

Charleston attorneys seek answers in evacuation of Dockside Condominiums

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - Two Charleston-area law firms are investigating the sudden mandatory evacuation of a downtown condominium on behalf of condo owners.

Shuttered balconies and boarded windows line the facade of Dockside Condominiums, shielding public view of the inside of the building that towers over the Charleston Harbor. Owners and renters gathered across the street at Gadsden Park on Wednesday after being denied access for weeks, hoping to retrieve belongings and answers.

Graham Stone, 85, dreamed of a forever home looking over the Cooper River. He was fortunate enough to stay with his daughter after the city leaders ordered a mandatory evacuation of the complex at the end of February, but said many of his neighbors are stranded.

“There are other people that are crying all night because they are about to go bankrupt, a lot of them as a matter of fact. You are on fixed income and all of a sudden you got on the street, you got a big problem,” Stone said.

The Anastopoulo Law Firm and the J. Davis Law Firm launched a class action investigation following the Feb. 28 evacuation of the building, located at 330 Concord St. beside the International African American Museum.

Attorney Roy T. Willey IV said residents have been trying to get some answers about what led to the evacuation and what happens next.

“They have been seeking answers about the situation from all manner of entities, from the city to the engineers, and the truth is that they aren’t getting a lot of answers,” Willey said.

City staff and Dockside officials said they collaborated on an official move-out plan sent to residents on March 28.

Starting on April 14, two units will be packed and moved out at a time. Dockside officials expect the condos to be clear by the end of June or beginning of July, barring any complications.

The city of Charleston ordered residents to evacuate the building by 5 p.m. on Feb. 28. Residents were told to pack their perishable items but to leave behind all furniture.

“What happened in a situation that leads to a 24-hour evacuation where members of our community are told, ‘Take your personal effects, take what clothes you can carry, but don’t take anything else because the building might fall down,‘” he said. “How do we get to that point? There are a lot of unanswered questions.”

The condominiums were built in the 1970s. The order, the city said, came after the Dockside Association Board said their engineering firm recommended the evacuation of the building tower.

“A properly managed and maintained building does not get a 48-hour evacuation notice,” Davis said. “And so our firm has been engaged, together with Roy, to investigate the management, maintenance, capital asset reserves, and understand how it came to be that over 100 people were displaced from their homes on a 24-hour notice.”

The attorneys set up a website, DocksideLawsuit.com, where prior and current residents and owners can provide details that could help the investigation.

“We know that over the course of the last several decades, since the 1970s when this building was first inhabited, that there are a lot of people that have gathered information about this building, that have talked to engineers, that have talked to former construction companies, that have talked to folks that lived here, and at this point, we’re just asking them to come forward,” Willey said.

He said “numerous homeowners” contacted the firms and he expects the investigation to result in “at least one lawsuit,” but did not rule out either a single class-action suit or multiple individual lawsuits.

He said no suit has been filed as of Wednesday and they have not yet determined who might be named as defendants if a lawsuit were to be filed.

“People were kicked out of their homes in February and they know about as much now as they knew then, and it’s enraging. It should be enraging, the amount of information that has been disseminated and provided,” Willey said. “You know, to say it’s a dearth of information puts it mildly.”

Stone said he was told to continue paying his monthly $1,300 and $160 for a parking pass, despite being unable to access his living space.

“People have asked but they keep saying there is so many expenses, legal expenses and that sort of thing. And that’s why we have to keep paying, and if we don’t, basically the building is facing bankruptcy,” Stone said. “I’ve never felt poor in my whole life. Now I feel poor.”

Stone said he spent $10,000 moving into the complex and expects to pay $15,000 to move out because of premiums from moving companies, who are asking tenants to sign releases.

City of Charleston officials said the situation stems from a contractor, SKA, inspecting the building back in 2022.

They were renovating a privately owned unit when they found issues with the column and floor connection, the city said. After inspecting some other parts of the building, they found the structural issues stemmed from problems with the initial construction, but SKA did not deem the building unsafe at the time.

More recently, the Dockside Association hired another engineering firm, WJE, to conduct a more in-depth investigation to assess the load capacity of the floors. This firm sent a letter to the Dockside Association on Feb. 25 that stated the building was unsafe for continued occupancy.

The city immediately initially set a March 7 deadline for the association’s board to provide more details about any structural issues that led to the evacuation recommendation. That request included details on any threat to the townhomes and neighboring properties.

It also set a deadline of March 14 for an evaluation of “the likelihood for a progressive tower floor collapse.”

The Dockside Board of Directors issued a statement on March 7, stating the board was in “frequent communication” with the city of Charleston and were working toward “providing a response timeline as soon as possible regarding any potential threat to neighboring buildings” but said the deadline could not be reasonably met.

“Needed assessments regarding the integrity of our building requires additional testing analysis by our structural engineer. That testing is underway, but this is a complex issue, and we need the analysis to be accurate,” the statement read in part.

The tower building has 112 units, 60 to 70% of which are occupied full-time.

One resident said more than 200 people were affected by the evacuation.

“We were told the problems and that it would all be fixed. It should have already been fixed, that is why we are paying you $1,000 a month,” Stone said. “Who I really feel sorry for are the people who just bought them months before. Put their money in, took a mortgage out, now they are on the street. How does the city morally deal with that?”

Neither Dockside officials nor the city has provided a comment.

New restaurant opens in downtown Charleston's Harleston Village. Here's what to expect.

Michael and Courtney Zentner's private events company, The Drifter, has become a household name in Charleston's food and beverage community.

The enthusiasm is just as strong among Lowcountry diners who are eager to try the couple's new restaurant, Merci (28 Pitt St.). But they'll have to snag one of its highly coveted 26 seats first.

Merci opened March 22 in downtown Charleston's Harleston Village, a walkable, historic community where few dinner restaurants exist. The new establishment has changed that, bringing European-inspired creations made with local ingredients and an all-French wine list to the neighborhood.

Michael Zentner, who previously cooked at Charleston Grill, is in charge of culinary operations at Merci. Leading large-scale dinners over the past five years has enabled the chef to hone his skills in a way that wasn’t possible when he was working in restaurants. His offering at Merci is an extension of that cooking.

Crispy duck ballotine, snapper crudo, house-made focaccia with stracciatella and Benton's ham, ricotta gnudi and a beef Wellington for two are among the opening options served on pewter pieces and plates from Lucullus Antiques in New Orleans. The menu will gradually shift with the seasons, Zentner said ahead of Merci's opening.

Courtney Zentner led the restaurant's design efforts, collaborating with Helen Rice of Serious Buildings to bring the project to life.

The first floor of a historic Federal-style house, once home to a corner grocery, has been cloaked in a shade of tallow paint, and custom cabinets by Brad Hubbard of The Knotty Log have been installed to frame the back of the small dining room. Art by Charleston-based Super Saturday and Louisa Dunn adds a homey aesthetic and pop of color to the charming space.

Merci is open from 5-10 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. Reservations open at 9:30 a.m. the week before a desired date. For more information, visit mercichs.com.

“Our team members are ready to offer award-winning service to ensure our guests can relax and enjoy the comforts and amenities they trust as they experience South Carolina’s unique beaches, history and cuisine.”

Meeting planners can access the company’s Meetings with More program at the property, which includes free Wi-Fi in meeting rooms and no food and beverage minimums.

Drury also offers a flexible cancellation policy, which allows groups to apply part of any cancellation fees to future bookings at any Drury property. The hotel will employ 70 full-time and part-time team members under general manager John Ogrzewalla.

The North Charleston location reflects Drury’s ongoing regional growth. With more than 150 hotels across 27 states, the company continues to expand in both urban and suburban markets. Its existing presence in the Carolinas includes locations in Charlotte, Greenville and Columbia.

Drury’s operational model focuses on integrated amenities designed to support long and short stays. Recent openings have emphasized convenience to airports and business corridors along with offerings tailored to group and corporate travel needs. The company continues to evaluate new markets across the Southeast, with further announcements expected later this year.

CHARLESTON COUNTY, S.C. (WCSC) - A contractor at the center of complaints for stealing thousands of dollars now has a bench warrant out for his arrest.

Travis Tardiff, 34, was set to enter a plea hearing Wednesday, but he never showed up, which resulted in the judge filing the warrant for Tardiff’s arrest.

The victim in this case, James Island resident Don Geddes, says he had been informed by a victim’s advocate representative with the solicitor’s office on Tuesday that the contractor would be appearing before a judge Wednesday and would plead guilty.

This all started in September of 2021 when Geddes and his wife wanted to renovate their back deck with a certain type of material Tardiff, of Tardiff Builders, initially came recommended by the company that makes specific material.

Tardiff quoted a $15,000 price for the job and Geddes said he paid half up front. But Geddes said after emailing back and forth with excuses about the materials coming in, Tardiff ended up dissolving the contract and said their check was back in the mail.

Months went by and Geddes never received his money and could not get in contact with Tardiff and contacted Live 5 Investigates.

Four days after the initial story aired, Geddes received an email from Tardiff saying they were working to find the funding to pay them back.

One day after Tardiff sent that email, he was arrested in the Upstate on an outstanding warrant out of Mount Pleasant. He was also charged with breach and obtaining a signature under false pretenses in a separate case. Charleston County Sheriff’s investigators found this and the Geddes’ case almost identical, according to the most recent affidavit.

Geddes filed his complaint with the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office on Sept. 19.

Investigators with the sheriff’s office said they tried to contact Tardiff multiple times but were unsuccessful. Affidavits state authorities issued warrants for Tardiff’s arrest on Sept. 29.

Tardiff was arrested and charged by the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office in November 2022 with breach and obtaining a signature under false pretenses directly related to Geddes’ case, arrest documents state. He was released on a $10,000 bond.

To this day, Geddes says he has never received his money back and was looking forward to closure.

Tardiff’s attorney has not yet responded to a request for comment.

The state’s Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation says Tardiff has three public orders issued against him: one to voluntarily and permanently surrender registration in 2023 and two citations and notifications of penalty in 2019 and 2021.

If you are in a similar situation, you should contact the S.C. Department of Consumer Affairs and the Better Business Bureau.

A miniature golf course with an onsite restaurant and bar has been proposed for a busy corner on James Island.

The lot at Folly Road and Grimball Road Extension is currently empty and surrounded by a chain-link fence. It's across from Spyglass Seaside, a resort-style apartment complex.

Plans have been submitted to transform the property into a development called Community Corner, which would include a miniature golf course with a restaurant, bar and retail space on nearly three acres. The applicant is Grimball Corner Investments LLC.

The developer is looking to incorporate 114 parking spaces, most of which would be on another parcel across Grimball Road Extension. There is an existing traffic signal at the intersection, and sidewalks would be added to both sides of the property, renderings show.

The area is zoned for limited business, which allows for a variety of commercial uses and services that are compatible with residential areas.

Charleston’s Technical Review Committee, a staff-level look at site plans, considered Community Corner on Jan. 16. The city asked the owner to revise and resubmit plans based on concerns about stormwater runoff, flooding, traffic and other issues.

Charles Wilson of Grimball Corner Investments declined to comment about the development.

Nearby in Freshfields Village, Café Eugenia, a to-go café and gourmet market, is expanding to a space next door and will be offering cooking classes and specialty workshops.

StretchLab, an assisted stretching studio, also opened 164 Gardeners Circle in the outdoor retail center. The studio offers help with increased mobility, improved posture and injury prevention through one-on-one stretch sessions for all fitness levels.

The franchise previously held a popup at the shopping center offering 15 minute demonstrations.

Another StretchLab is currently open on 151 Market St. in downtown Charleston.

Bank note

An Alabama lender has cut the ribbon on a new branch at 319 North Cedar St. in Summerville.

The site is the second in the Charleston area for Birmingham-based ServisFirst Bank, which for years has had an office in The Cigar Factory at 701 East Bay St. on the peninsula.

The Flowertown outpost will have 10 employees and features a drive-thru.

Coast-to-coast

Southern California lifestyle brand Jenni Kayne is making its Palmetto State debut on Charleston's busiest retail corridor.

A New Orleans-style restaurant in North Charleston is angling to add beer and liquor to its menu offerings.
