We listen first
Care starts with what you want help with — your concerns, your history, and what you want to get back to doing.
Our Approach · Travelers Rest, SC
Chiropractic care that starts with listening.
At Foothills Chiropractic, care starts with what you want help with. From there, Dr. Mike examines what matters, adjusts with the technique that fits you, and explains his recommendations in plain language.
Chiropractic care considers the relationship between the spine and the nervous system — so the examination looks at how you’re functioning, not only where you hurt.
How care works here
Simple, personal, and explained as we go.
An appropriate examination
Dr. Mike examines what matters for your situation — posture, movement, balance, and how your spine is functioning.
Personalized adjustments
He's trained in multiple techniques and chooses the approach and force that fit you — not the same method for everyone.
Clear recommendations
You get a plain-English explanation of what he found and what he recommends, with fees explained before you decide anything.
Progress gets checked
Recommendations aren't set in stone. Progress is reassessed over time, and your care changes when it should.
One of our tools
The NeuroInfiniti stress response evaluation
For patients that become a part of our membership, we use a computerized brain and nervous system evaluation called the NeuroInfiniti. It records how your body responds to stress and how well it recovers afterward — giving us objective measurements we can compare over time. For people that are committed to improving their life with chiropractic care, the Neuroinfinti offers incredibly valuable information to help guide their care.
Your care should fit you
Not every patient is adjusted the same way.
Dr. Mike is trained in multiple chiropractic techniques — from traditional hands-on adjusting to gentle instrument-assisted methods — and chooses among them based on your examination findings, your age, your comfort, and your history.
Think of them as tools in a toolbox: the findings decide which tool fits, not habit.
