HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C., Nov. 16, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fraum Chiropractic Life Center awarded Hilton Head Monthly Reader’s Choice Chiropractor for eight consecutive years by Hilton Head Monthly. The celebration takes place Dec. 3 at Sonesta Resort, where various honors will be presented to local personalities, businesses and organizations, including “chiropractor.” Dr. Brad Fraum, chiropractor and founder of Fraum Chiropractic Life Center, states, “It is so gratifying to be recognized for this honor, especially for eight years running. Our whole team focuses on helping patients relieve pain and improve their lives.”
Since 2008, readers of The Island Packet and Hilton Head Monthly have submitted the highest number of votes each year for Fraum Chiropractic Life Center in the annual community media project organized by both publications. “Being respected by our patients shows the high level of trust they place in us,” Dr. Fraum said. “It tells us that we play an important role in our community.”
Along with the accolades from local readers, Dr. Fraum has received other honors over the years, including District Director of the Year for the South Carolina Chiropractic Association and Ambassador status with Life Chiropractic College. He also is a well-regarded author and speaker and is active in the community, including acting as the official team chiropractor for Hilton Head High School’s soccer team, and the personal chiropractor for championship boxer Lennox Lewis.
Fraum Chiropractic Life Center offers a variety of wellness services, such as treating back, head and neck pain. People in car accidents suffering from whiplash can find relief. The Center also focuses on sports injuries, which can occur easily from colliding with another player or stretching a muscle too far in one direction.
“Sometimes you may feel fine during the game or like you can ‘walk it off,’ but after the excitement ends and adrenalin of an exciting event fades away, you may start to feel some soreness or a decrease in your range of movement,” Dr. Fraum said. “We invite athletes of any age to come talk with us to see what we can do to help.”
Though treatment plans can be customized based on the individual and their respective injuries, an exam may include X-rays and a physical examination. One of the doctors of chiropractic will recommend a variety of treatment options, which could include spinal manipulation, heat or cold therapy, or nutritional advice.
Sports injuries can often cause misalignments to the spine, which can cause other muscles in the body to overcompensate, so removing this initial stress and restoring alignment is critical.
