Pawleys Island Chiropractor Dr. Neil Fico

Your health is my primary concern - My goal is to provide you quality healthcare using an integrative approach with a caring touch while empowering you to manage your health day-to-day through education and prevention. 

We live in one of the most beautiful parts of the country – I feel privileged to play a role in helping my patients reach their true health potential so that they can actively enjoy this beautiful area we’re blessed to call home.  Whether its playing golf, walking on the beach, biking, surfing, or many of the other countless ways you might savor the Grand Strand, I am passionate about keeping you active, well and pain free.  Our ultimate satisfaction comes from truly caring about our patients, and improving the quality of their lives.

My wife Becky and I have been blessed with two sons, Neil and Tyler, and twin daughters, Kate and Clare.  As a fitness and sports enthusiast, when I'm not in the office helping patients I enjoy spending time with my family, playing golf, fishing, basketball, boating and traveling.  I’m also a big fan of Penn State Nittany Lions and Pittsburgh Steelers football.

The chiropractic wellness model is at the center of our family's health. My wife and I are raising our children to be proactive about their health rather than reactive.  We hope to teach our children that health is about the choices you make every day from how you move and think to sleep and eat.  Regular exercise, mental attitude, sleeping habits, proper nutrition along with regular chiropractic adjustments to eliminate physical, emotional, physiological, and environmental stresses from our body are all key to becoming healthy and staying healthy!

A native of Pittsburgh, PA I attended Pennsylvania State University where I played baseball and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Physiology.  I received my Doctor of Chiropractic from Life University in Marietta, GA graduating with Cum Laude distinction.

We are actively involved in the community and major supporters of many local charitable causes. I am an active member of the Kiwanis Club, the Knights of Columbus, Pawleys Island/Litchfield Business Association and the Georgetown County Chamber of Commerce.

Don't wait until you experience a health crisis to take the steps toward better health - prevent the need for drugs or surgery by acting now.  Call our office for a thorough health evaluation - we look forward to being a part of your journey to health!

Introducing Dr. Justin Cataldo

Your body was not created with a lack of drugs or too many organs! In society we are made to believe just that. The doctor is in you! Many people fail to recognize the overwhelming ability for the body to take care of itself. It is my goal as a doctor of chiropractic to help communicate the importance of maintaining the only body that god has given you!

I believe chiropractic chose me. As a highly active youth, sports were a part of everyday life, but unfortunately so were injuries. I had suffered an injury at the age of 10 that caused me to experience severe middle and lower back pain. Doctor after doctor told me it would “just go away” with medication. This was not the case. My parents took me to their chiropractor who took his time in examining the cause of my problem. With a few treatments I was back in action without drugs or surgery! This started my fascination with chiropractic, the human body, and its amazing capabilities!

I began my educational journey in Northville, Michigan. After graduating from Northville High school, I went on to attend Western Michigan University, with my focus of study in biology and health sciences. After receiving my bachelor degree I went on to attend Life University School of Chiropractic. I chose Life University due to the fact that it was the largest and most recognized school in the world for chiropractic. I found it very challenging as well as life changing.

Our goal at Strand Spine Institute first and foremost is education. The more you know and understand how your body works, the easier it is to take care of it. This means one thing, LESS time in the Doctors office! We pride ourselves on our level of patient care and the service we provide. People of all ages, with many degrees of injury have obtained full recovery with our non invasive holistic approach to health care. The most fulfilling aspect of our practice is watching our patients transform into a wellness lifestyle!
