Real patients, in their own words. Brenda could barely climb the front steps when she walked in.
“If I stood at the cupboard to make a cup of tea, I was crying… today I’m heading to the golf course.”

Almost 100%pain freePatient Story
I started treatment at Strand Spine Institute off of a recommendation from a good friend of mine who also went through treatment. I was very skeptical, and didn’t think anything but surgery would help me.
I met with Dr. Fico and his staff, I went through X-rays and a course of care. They recommended I do 24 sessions of decompression therapy, stimulation as well as laser treatment. During my treatment I was able to start feeling better almost right away and had more mobility and less pain in my back and down my legs.
Dr. Fico and his staff are amazing, kind and very knowledgeable. I can now say that I am almost 100% pain-free with unbelievable results. I now am able to exercise, lift weights again, ride my motorcycle and have a much better quality of life. I have recommended Dr. Fico and his staff at Strand Spine Institute to my wife, and several friends. The process, the staff, and the overall experience was amazing.
Spinal Decompression
“I learned about your Institute through TV commercials. 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 and Chiropractic
“Spinal decompression therapy along with chiropractic care and in-home exercise made a world of difference in my life. 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.”
Sports Injury
“I have a long history of back problems, so finding a professional and caring chiropractor when I moved to the area was very important. Dr. Fico helped me overcome a training injury and gave me guidance along the way just as a coach would. I successfully completed 70.3 miles of swimming, biking and running that day.”
Neck Pain
“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. The staff is so very kind, compassionate and caring.”
Individual results vary. Every condition, spine and history is different, and nothing here should be read as a promise of a particular outcome.
Dr. Neil Fico has cared for patients on the Grand Strand for nearly 30 years. Pawleys Island is both where he practices and where he lives, and he personally evaluates every new patient who walks through the door.
His approach is integrative: corrective chiropractic adjustments, Summus laser therapy and DRX9000 spinal decompression, chosen to relieve the pain and correct what is causing it. If chiropractic care is not right for your condition, he will tell you.
Before any treatment plan, Dr. Fico sits down with you to find out what is actually causing the pain. That first visit, the consultation, full exam and X-rays if you need them, is $49 instead of $250.
No obligation to start treatment. If chiropractic care is not right for your spine, Dr. Fico will tell you and point you where to go next.
