Welcome to Peninsula Chiropractic

Welcome to Peninsula Chiropractic - located in beautiful downtown Charleston on the corner of Spring and Rutledge Streets.

We work hard to provide exceptional chiropractic care in our friendly, relaxed environment.

How do we change the world one spine at a time?
Chiropractic is a health care approach that focuses on the relationship between the body’s structure– mainly the spine—and its functioning.
Although practitioners may use a variety of treatments approaches, they primarily perform adjustments to the spine or other parts of the body with the goal of correcting alignment problems and supporting the body’s natural ability to heal itself.
During the initial visit, chiropractors typically take health history and perform a physical examination, with a special emphasis on the spine.
Other examinations or tests such as x-rays may also be performed. If chiropractic treatment is considered appropriate, a treatment plan will be developed. 
Chiropractors may perform one or more of the many different types of adjustments used in chiropractic care. Given mainly to the spine, a chiropractic adjustment (sometimes referred to as a manipulation) involves using the hands or a device to apply controlled, sudden force to a joint, moving it beyond its passive range of motion.
Our therapy increases the range and quality of motion in the area being treated and to aid in restoring health.
