If you’ve searched for a chiropractor near me in Greenville, SC, you know there are plenty of options. But how do you know which chiropractor is right for you and your family? At Highlands Chiropractic, our focus is simple: provide safe, natural, and family-centered care that helps you feel better, move better, and live better—without relying on medication or surgery.

Whether you’re a parent chasing kids at Falls Park, a runner training on the Swamp Rabbit Trail, or someone struggling with long hours at a desk in Downtown Greenville, chiropractic care can help restore balance and get you back to doing what you love.

What Is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic care is a natural healthcare approach focused on restoring proper alignment to the spine and supporting nervous system function. Misalignments (called subluxations) can place pressure on nerves, leading to pain, tension, and reduced mobility.

A chiropractor uses precise spinal adjustments to correct these misalignments. The result? Less pain, improved posture, and better overall function.

According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), spinal manipulation is one of the most commonly used complementary health approaches in the United States【NCCIH†】. Millions of patients seek chiropractic each year for back pain, headaches, and more.

Common Conditions Chiropractic Care Can Help With

Chiropractors are best known for helping with back pain—but the benefits go far beyond that.

Chiropractic care may improve:

  • Back and neck pain from posture, injuries, or spinal misalignment
  • Headaches and migraines, often triggered by muscle tension or nerve irritation
  • Sciatica and nerve pain, radiating from the lower back into the legs
  • Sports injuries, from high school athletes in Simpsonville to weekend golfers in Travelers Rest
  • Pregnancy discomfort, supporting pelvic balance and easing back pain
  • Pediatric concerns such as posture issues, colic, or sleep problems
