Chiropractor, Owner

As I was growing up, I knew what I wanted to do.  I wanted to be a dad like mine was to me, and I wanted to be a pediatrician.  As time went on, things fell right into place. I attended college at Clemson University, and I was in love with an incredible girl.  I only had one major problem...I hurt all the time.  My neck was stiff, and I couldn't think straight because of my severe headaches. I started having bad headaches in high school after some sporting injuries and a round of meningitis. I wasn't sure how to fix it or what I was going to do. That's when I turned to chiropractic.  To my surprise, it worked!  I decided that  if someone could do that with just their hands, that's what I wanted to do.  So after talking to my soon to be wife, we decided to make the switch.  I started doing a lot of research and met with several chiropractors. I toured at Sherman College of Chiropractic and knew it was the right fit for me.

As a chiropractor, I do feel that I am different than most of the other doctors you have or will come across. First, I am patient oriented. And I'm not just saying that because it sounds good. I don't use any "bait and switch" tactics or offer gimmicks just to get you in. Once I start treating you, I will not do things just to up sell a visit so that I can make a quick buck. When I make recommendations, you will know why I think it's best, and together we will work toward getting you well. 

Second, knowledge is power. To get better at what you do, you have to practice, learn new things, and be willing to grow. Each year of experience as a provider should show obvious improvements in growth. It shouldn't be an exact repeat of the knowledge and skill level of the year before. I enjoy continuing education classes/seminars and love doing my own research into why our bodies and minds work the way they do. I'm willing to do what it takes for my patients, and I truly want to help them because I've been there, and I know what it's like.

Chiropractor, Webster Technique certified, ICPA member

I was a gymnast for nine years. During that time, I started going to see a chiropractor to improve my performance. At a young age I was interested in the medical field, but after seeing the results and benefits from my chiropractic care, I knew chiropractic was the right fit for me! I grew up here in the Midlands, and I am thrilled to be able to practice in the place I call home.

I am very close with my own family, and families are my passion! I am certified in Webster Technique, which is used for pregnant women. I also specialize in pediatric chiropractic care. I have studied the development of children from infant to adolescent and how chiropractic care can help with physical and neurological development. 

I love treating families, and I want to be able to see everyone!  My dream would be to see generations of patients! I want to see people be able to enjoy their lives and move and function better. I enjoy helping people improve their true health and function at 100% without having to get surgery.  I love the "whole body" approach to treating physical ailments and getting down to the root of the problem by making sure the whole body is in line.

Chiropractor, Graston Technique Provider

At a young age I fell in love with science and biology. In high school I decided to become a doctor as I had a joy for helping people. During my undergraduate studies at South Carolina State University, I joined the Health Professions Society to explore the many aspects of the medical and health related fields. We took a trip to Sherman College of Chiropractic where I realized I wanted to become a chiropractor. After graduation I went on to attend Palmer College of Chiropractic Florida.

As a child I played soccer, and in adolescence I began having migraines. They were so debilitating that it led to missed games and activities with friends. Since I averaged 2-4 migraines per week, I was prescribed medication at eleven years old. At the time I knew of no other options nor was I given any. In chiropractic school I learned a great deal about my condition. While receiving regular adjustments along with changing my nutritional lifestyle, my migraines began to decrease in frequency and intensity. This led to only getting 2-3 migraines a year, as chiropractic changed my life.

I am certified as a Graston Technique Provider.  The Graston procedure detects and treats areas of soft tissue lesion or adhesions in muscles, tendons and ligaments that can lead to pain and dysfunction. Graston Technique instruments have been clinically proven to achieve quicker and better outcomes in treating acute and chronic conditions.

I strive to promote the many benefits of chiropractic care through education and treatment. I believe everyone should have a chance to enjoy a healthy active lifestyle by taking care of their body's core needs in a natural way. I am excited to be a part of this amazing team and to grow with this community.

Amber Sweeney, LMT

Massage Therapist

Hello! I am a South Carolina local, born and raised in Irmo.  I am the oldest of five children and was homeschooled all the way through high school. I am also a mother to an amazing daughter. I graduated from the Clinical Massage Therapy program at Midlands Technical College.  I became interested in massage therapy after researching and using a type of lymphatic massage on my daughter to cure an ear infection, and I've been a believer in the power of massage ever since!

I've always wanted to work with my hands in a way that would help others. After learning the benefits that massage provides the body, I became determined to be a licensed therapist. It has come very naturally to me, and I'll never look back!  I am passionate about helping people feel their absolute best.

Massage Therapist

When I was in fourth grade, I was diagnosed with patellar maltracking. In laymen's terms, my knee was misaligned and kept popping out of place, causing accidental falls and limited range of motion. It became painful to walk, and I had two options--physical therapy or surgery. My parents and I chose physical therapy. I did treatment for months, and eventually, I could walk pain free! I was so amazed at how the body worked to heal and repair itself; I knew then that I wanted to help people as my therapist helped me.

Fast forward to years later, I obtained my undergrad at Lander University in Exercise Science and later went on to Midlands Technical College and studied Clinical Massage Therapy. I am passionate about how massage improves the quality of life; it not only helps with the physical, but studies show that massage can positively impact a person's mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness. It is an honor to be a vessel of healing, and my goal and prayer is for every patient I come in contact with to leave better than they came.

I'm a South Carolina transplant (thanks for having me!). Originally, I was born and raised on the Oregon coast. I moved here three years ago after traveling the United States for just over a year in a converted school bus. I am married to my childhood sweetheart, and we have an adorable dog named Weezer. I read and write in my spare time, and I do floral arrangements for funsies. After traveling and getting to meet so many incredible people from different walks of life, I've grown a major passion for making tiny but meaningful interpersonal connections, which is why I do what I do! I look forward to getting to know everyone!
