Florence Chiropractors Dr. Richard Heavner and Dr. Brian Porzio have more than 30 years combined clinical experience serving the Pee Dee area.

Help As Many People As Possible Achieve a Greater Level of Health Through Natural Chiropractic Care.
The spine and nervous system play vital roles in our body's ability to get and stay healthy. As chiropractors, we regularly see how the lack of spinal health and proper function can diminish lives. We all stress our bodies with our everyday activities of sitting at computers, standing on concrete floors, lifting things, performing yard work, driving long distances and everything in between.
These daily stresses affect our overall health. In our office, we all are chiropractically evaluated regularly to help facilitate healing and proper function while also offsetting the stresses of life. Please contact our Florence office today at (843) 665-7817 to schedule your appointment and see what other Florence residents have already discovered!

Our chiropractic physicians, Dr.
Richard Heavner and Dr. Brian Porzio have more than 30 years combined clinical experience serving the Pee Dee area.
Our approach is simple.
We believe that health is amongst our most valuable possessions.
And while we generally meet people after they've lost their health, our commitment is two-fold.
We're committed to teaching our patients that true health is a journey, not a destination.
Through educational opportunities (like this website), we hope to communicate the value of ongoing chiropractic care.

Having worked with a chiropractic physician in the past, I was excited when the opportunity to come back into the field presented itself.
My family and I have valued chiropractic care for years.
I love working with Dr. Heavner and all the patients.
We truly have a great staff and patient base that have all become like a second family to me.
Sandra is from Illinois and moved to South Carolina 17 years ago.
After the move, a relative convinced her to see Dr. Heavner about back pain she'd had since childhood.

Simply put, I was a skeptic.
Having grown up in the medical model of healthcare, I saw no reason to visit the chiropractor.
I was firmly entrenched in the "if it doesn't hurt, there is nothing wrong" and the "there is a pill for everything" philosophy.
After my undergraduate work and serving in the US Navy, I was tending bar in Columbia, SC when one night, it dawned on me that I was going nowhere fast.
I wanted out of the night life and into a career that would make me proud.
I considered medicine but by now, I just could not wrap my mind around prescription medication fixing EVERYTHING.

Chiropractor, are you crazy?
Why wouldn't you want to be a REAL doctor?
For most of my academic life, I was very successful in the classroom.
So successful that it was almost expected that I would end up attending medical school.
This expectation had two problems, a career path that meandered for 8-12 years and a philosophy that everything can be fixed with a drug.
Ironically, I had issues with both of them.
I worked very hard to receive my bachelors degree in biology from Wofford College.
Unfortunately, everyone knows that an undergraduate degree in biology doesn't take you very far without additional schooling.

We use a number of highly-effective adjusting approaches to help improve spinal biomechanics and reduce nervous system interference.
The approach we use is based on our clinical judgment and years of experience.
Think of an adjustment as "tuning" a piano, adjusting each string so it produces the perfect tone.
After identifying which vertebrae have lost their normal motion or position, a specific manual thrust is applied to free up "stuck" spinal joints.
This full spine approach relies on X-rays and a heat-sensing instrument for a thorough evaluation and documented results.
