Business Details
We welcome you to Island Chiropractic Center on Hilton Head Island, where we have been dedicated to working with the body to create lasting change. Our founder, Dr. Elaine T. Jeffers, brings more than forty years of adjusting experience to every patient we serve. She discovered chiropractic after years of wrestling young horses left her with repeated back injuries and an imminent surgery recommendation. A single chiropractic experience returned her to work pain free within two weeks and defined her professional passion. Dr. Jeffers earned her undergraduate degree at the University of Kentucky and graduated magna cum laude and salutatorian from Logan Chiropractic University in December 1982.
She practiced in Canton and Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio for nearly fourteen years before moving to Hilton Head in 1997 to start this practice. Over the past decades we have compiled a unique combination of manual and instrument adjusting techniques. Our approach is thorough and effective in treating and correcting most structural distortions of the spine and extremities. We work with the body rather than against it, using low force methods that are safe and comfortable for each individual. Our gentle, caring approach is designed to make every visit a uniquely pleasant experience. We remain committed to professional standards, personalized problem solving, and client satisfaction in all we do.

Services
Cox Spinal Decompression
Cox Spinal Decompression, also known as Flexion Distraction, is a low force traction procedure for low back pain. It increases posterior disc height, reduces stenosis, improves nutrient transport, and lowers internal disc pressure. The technique is effective for bulging discs, herniations, facet syndrome, spondylolisthesis, sprain strain, scoliosis and spinal stenosis.
Thompson Drop Technique
Thompson Drop Technique uses a segmental drop table to enhance motion for precise adjustments. It provides gentle treatment for back pain, stiffness, immobility, mid back pain, neck pain and headaches. The method is also effective for knee, ankle and shoulder pain and is based on Newtons First Law of Motion.
Diversified Adjusting Technique
Diversified Adjusting Technique uses speed rather than force to restore motion to dysfunctional joints. It addresses back pain, neck pain, headaches, shoulder pain and extremity pain in ankles, knees, elbows and wrists. The approach incorporates a variety of adjustive techniques, mobilizations and stretches for comprehensive care.
