Spinal Decompression
Almost all the pain is gone
“When I first started 18 weeks ago, I could barely walk, was in continual pain and rarely slept through the night. At this point almost all the pain is gone, I can sleep through the night and can walk almost at a normal pace.”

Decompression & Chiropractic
The staff was so wonderful
“When I first came to Dr. Fico I could barely walk, let alone sit for long periods. Since my first visit I have been able to do the things I love, walking long distances and golf, with very little discomfort.”

Neck Pain
Strand Spine is the total package
“I walked in with neck pain at a 7 to 8 on the pain scale. Dr. Fico worked me up with scans, X-rays and an examination and developed a treatment plan. I walked out two months later with a pain level of 2 to 3.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Your $49 visit includes a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Neil Fico, a detailed orthopedic and neurological examination, digital X-rays if clinically necessary, and a sit-down report of findings to discuss your treatment options.
Not at all. Most patients find DRX9000 spinal decompression extremely relaxing and some fall asleep during their session. It applies gentle, precise negative traction to relieve disc pressure.
Many patients experience noticeable relief after just a few sessions. During your initial examination and report of findings, Dr. Fico will outline a timeline based on your condition and goals.
Yes. We work with many insurance plans and also offer flexible payment plans so that high quality care remains affordable for everyone in Pawleys Island.
