About Us

Here at Pathway To Wellness, we are proud to help our patients live better, pain-free lives.

We truly believe that no one deserves to live in pain, even as they age. We will do everything we can to ensure that our patients are comfortable. We are proud to help people heal after an accident or injury and diminish any unwanted discomfort.

Both literally and metaphorically, your spine is the backbone of your entire body. The spine is an important and integral part of your body, and any misalignments in your backbone have the potential to affect many different parts of your body, sometimes areas that may seem completely unrelated. We will be able to determine where your problem lies and discuss the various treatments available.

Even after just a few treatments, you will be amazed at how much better you feel! You will gain mobility, have increased circulation, and may even start to lose some weight. Chiropractic care can really make a world of difference to you!

If you have any questions about how we can get you out of pain or improve your overall quality of life, please don’t hesitate to contact us today at (803) 547-5656.
