Chiropractic care without drugs or surgery
About us
Coastal Spine Center combines hands-on chiropractic care with advanced supportive therapies to help people along the Grand Strand move better and get back to what they enjoy.
Our practice
Our clinic previously operated as Spine Pain Center of Surfside Beach. We are in the same place on Highway 17 Business, now as Coastal Spine Center, with a renewed focus on clear communication and conservative care.
Every patient starts with a real conversation and a thorough exam. We look for the underlying cause of your pain, explain what we find in plain language, and recommend a plan that fits your goals. When appropriate, we coordinate with your primary care physician so non-invasive options are explored before surgery is considered.
