Lowcountry Specific Chiropractic (LSC) is committed to being faithful servants to their community; educating patients on health and the body’s capability to be a self healing organism. They care. it’s that simple. They care about people, they care about what you are going through and what you have gone through to get where you are today.
Often, Dr. Tron at LSC sees people for pain conditions like migraines and tingling and numbness, and also sees cancer patients during and after their recovery process as tension on the spinal cord hinders the recovery process. Dr. Tron can help relieve that tension by removing it from the dura and spinal cord, helping with lymphedema, pain, vertigo, headaches, and other common problems.
