Sciatica

Bonnie Parker  November 2017

I began my treatment with Grand Strand Health and Wellness September 2017. I have seen a significant improvement in the sciatica nerve in the back of my legs. The staff is very friendly and tries to get you to the treatment rooms in a speedy and orderly manner. The assistant Trina always makes sure I am comfortable and receive the best of care. I would highly recommend this office to any friend or relative.

Before I started chiropractic care I was experiencing lower back pain and sciatica pain down both sides of my legs. After two weeks of Decompression and Laser treatments I feel better. My pain in my legs has pretty much subsided and my lower back pain has also decreased. I am able to get back to walking 2 miles without pain. When I come to my appointment Trina is ready for me. She is very professional and very polite. I had gone to two other chiropractors before coming here…but were not successful. At first I thought they were just “another one of those”, but I was wrong. They go out of their way to get you where you should be. I recommend it for everybody. I drive from North Myrtle Beach three times a week, which if it didn’t work, I wouldn’t do it!

As a long time sufferer of sciatica, I’d grown used to the on-again, off-again pain in my lower back and left side. When my wife and I saw the Grand Strand Health and Wellness ad in the paper, we decided to check it out, since she, too, had developed a lot of knee pain during the past year. Since we were short on time here, we were prescribed an accelerated schedule of treatments (3 per week).  The staff quickly became like family and administered treatments, always with good attitudes. We’re now about ⅔ of the way through the treatments and while not totally cured yet, are optimistic that the end result will be good. After all, it took us 80+ years to develop these ailments. Overnight cures are extremely rare.

Before starting chiropractic care I could not walk far before I had extreme pain from hip to down my leg. Since I started 1 month ago, I can walk better without pain. Everyone “Beatrina, Jimmy, Paige” have all been very nice and helpful. I was hesitant before I started but now I wish I had started sooner. So far things have gone well, and I hope it continues.

Before I started Chiropractic Care, I had pain across my lower back, going down my right leg to the knee. Since then I find the pain has decreased and I can walk much better. My experience with the practice has met my expectations to the point as I continue Chiropractic Care. Service is prompt with short waiting times for treatment, very professional as well to make sure that I am ok with each procedure. Dr. Garner is way ahead of this calling and the costs are in line from what I hear from friends or less! I like to walk in and be met by smiles and hellos! I would recommend this practice to anyone. I know I can benefit from further care with Dr. Garner and his staff.

For a lot of  years people said to go to a chiropractor. I had pain in my back to the point when I walk the pain went right down my leg. My foot was always in pain. Since coming here I have been walking with no leg pain, and my foot feels much better. I also needed to do something for pain in my shoulders from my bra straps. All in all I feel better!

Gloria Miliote February 2015

Previously, I had been going for pain management injections in my back for my sciatic nerve problems which had only helped slightly. I had never gone to a chiropractor before but Dr. Garner was highly recommended to me. It has been an enlightening experience. The pain in my hips and the muscles surrounding them is considerably less severe and my flexibility has returned after 2 years of stiffness, soreness and pain. I couldn’t be more pleased with my treatment. I have already recommended a neighbor. Thank you Dr. Garner!

I am not being melodramatic when I say that I was practically crawling to my first appointment with Dr. Garner. The pain in my left leg, running from my hip to my ankle, was excruciating.

What first impressed me was the speed in which a determination was made as to whether chiropractic care could help my particular problem. (It could and it has!) Next was the genuine caring of not just Dr. Garner, but all the staff at Grand Strand Health and Wellness, and last, but not least, the strict adherence to appointment times. I have never experienced chiropractic care and am delighted that my first experience was with the best! I am now walking and the intense pain I was suffering has diminished substantially. On a scale of 1-10, Dr. Garner and Grand Strand deserve an 11. I would recommend them unhesitatingly.

Before starting chiropractic care I was experiencing lower back pain going down my legs.  Since starting regular chiropractic care I’m experiencing the following positive changes, my pain in the lower body has become almost non-existent.  I can see chiropractic care helping maintain much better overall health in the future.  I would recommend anyone who has some pains they shouldn’t have, to try chiropractic care.

When I first came to the office I had lower back pain and pains going down my right leg.  I was very skeptical about whether Dr. Garner’s treatment of running a pulsating wand/instrument down my back was really going to help me.  However, after about 3 to 4 weeks with visits 3 times a week, I had very little pain in my back or pain in my right leg.  I continued the visits and now I am down to 1 visit a week and haven’t had pain in my back or leg for weeks.

Dr. Garner and his staff are very pleasant and professional.  They make you feel that you are important to them and they are never too busy to take the time to answer your questions. I would recommend Dr. Garner’s practice to anyone seeking relief from back or muscle pain.  It worked to relieve my pain so I know it will work for others too.

In November 2012, I began having severe lower back pain and leg pain, so severe that I had to hold on to furniture to walk or stand. I also had to use a walking cane. I first saw an orthopedic doctor and was diagnosed with sciatica and no plan of treatment was offered. My family physician referred me to a pain specialist- after several rounds of treatment (epidurals) – I experienced minimal relief. I learned from another chiropractor of Dr. Garner and since I have been under his care my pain has diminished considerably. I would recommend Dr. Garner to anyone who is experiencing any type of back, leg, or knee pain.

This is the first time I have ever been to a chiropractor. I have been experiencing back pain especially in my sciatic nerve. Dr. Garner has been working to ease that nerve pain. It has been helping me greatly. The service was very prompt and the girls in the office were very accommodating.  I feel that Dr. Garner is doing a great job in getting me to feel better. I would recommend Dr. Garner to anyone!

Before I started chiropractic care I was experiencing pain in my low back that was radiating down my right leg. Since starting regular chiropractic care I’m experiencing the following positive change of total elimination of back pain. I have not experienced pain when awaking in the morning or after a long day of doing massages. I can see chiropractic benefiting my overall health in the future by following through with maintenance care.  If somebody I knew hasn’t tried it yet, I would recommend it because I am now a firm believer of chiropractic care and Dr. Garner has an excellent staff.

I had the blessing of meeting Dr. Garner at Pepper Geddings Health Fair on Saturday, January 7. He was referred to me by one of my colleagues, Lori Young. I was experiencing pain in my low back that was radiating down my right leg. Since having regular treatments with Dr. Garner, my pain has totally been eliminated! I have not experienced pain when waking in the morning or after a long day of doing massages. Dr. Garner and his excellent staff are so kind and always willing to answer any questions. I am now a firm believer in chiropractic care and have been referring Dr. Garner to my clients!

May Jackson DECEMBER 2019

I had pain in my lower back and down my left leg for many years. When I started receiving regular treatments at Grand Strand Health and Wellness I was surprised at my improvement, now I’m pain free in these areas. While living in another state I had received chiropractic services, but it wasn’t the same type. The ProAdjuster is a definite improvement. The staff is always friendly and informative. I receive even more pain relief when getting a massage every few weeks. I will always recommend the Grand Strand Health and Wellness to my friends and family.

For many, many years my family and I have experienced the wonderful health results of using chiropractic care. After moving to the beach area, I began to experience symptoms of sciatica and neuropathy that continued to slowly grow worse. I chose Dr. Chris Garner to be the chiropractor to correct my physical problem. He and his staff are caring, friendly, and intelligent individuals who are well trained to treat my problems. The chiropractic adjustments (including the Pro Adjuster) and all of the modalities being used to treat me are working. I am especially pleased with the cold laser therapy that is removing the numbness in my leg, and fast! My back pain has been dramatically reduced from around an 8 to a 3 – and I am only halfway through my treatment plan! The office environment is modern, clean, friendly, warm, prompt and affordable. I expect a full recovery from my problems and will continue to do follow-up visits. I highly recommend Dr. Chris Garner to anyone with physical problems.

Tammy Lewis May 30, 2013

Before I started chiropractic care, I was experiencing sharp pain in my right thigh and couldn’t walk or sit very long without extreme pain. Since starting chiropractic care, I am pain free and can walk longer distances and when sitting, I’ve noticed my posture has improved. Chiropractic care has really met my expectations. I was relieved a great deal after my first appointment and have improved 100% throughout my initial weeks of therapy.  Insurance covers the visits and I have to pay a small co-pay which is only ten dollars a visit. I highly recommend Dr. Garner and the wonderful care I have received and I have a new lease on life.

Virginia Aull February 2017

I began using the chiropractic wellness care in December 2016 due to pain in my right groin area, intermittent pain in my right ankle which was broken at age seventeen due to an ice skating fall. Now in February after more that fifteen visits during which I received three procedures per visit my ankle is 100% improved and my groin is 75% improved. I actually enjoy and look forward to my sessions with the wellness program and enjoy the positive and pleasant environment there.

Vito Pizzariello June 25, 2013

Before I started chiropractic care I was experiencing pain in my lower back and down my right leg. The pain in my lower back has eased and we are working on the pain in my leg. This practice exceeded my expectations. It was very different from my previous chiropractor. The service from the office staff as well as Dr. Chris has been great! I certainly got my money’s worth and did recommend Dr. Chris to a friend. I really like the techniques that Dr. Chris uses. What I learned from Dr. Chris’ videos and 50 Minutes to Wellness Workshop will really help me in the future. I would recommend Dr. Chris and his practice because it worked for me and I hope it would work for them!

William Keener May 28, 2013

Before I started chiropractic care I was having a lot of lower back pain that would go down to my knees. I was very skeptical and had my doubts if the pain would ever go away but after a few visits the pain was gone. I am a true believer that chiropractic care does work and I will recommend this practice to everyone.
