Chiropractic Care

What is it?
Gentle, wellness-focused adjustments using three techniques: Diversified (hands-on joint restoration), Activator Methods® (a precise, spring-loaded instrument), and drop-table adjustments for added comfort. Care is supported by same-day digital X-rays, Class IV laser therapy, intersegmental traction, and electrical muscle stimulation. Dr. O'Donahue sees patients at every visit and builds honest, phased care plans around each person's goals.

Who is it for?
Anyone dealing with back or neck pain, headaches, sciatica, whiplash, arthritis, or stress-related muscle tension who wants root-cause care rather than symptom management.

Benefits
Same-day diagnosis with on-site X-rays 
Care tailored to your goals and healing phase

A Healthy Aging Assessment is offered for new patients, with same-day digital X-rays and doctor-supervised visits.

Who is it for?
Seniors managing arthritis, joint stiffness, sciatica, balance concerns, or reduced mobility who want to stay active and independent without aggressive treatment.

Phased care plans with honest timelines
Lifestyle coaching on sleep, hydration, and movement

Laser Therapy

What is it?
A Class IV Multi Radiance laser with four therapeutic wavelengths delivers photons to damaged tissues, increasing blood flow and ATP production to activate the body's natural healing processes. Sessions run 5-10 minutes; protocols begin with pain reduction, then progress to tissue repair and strengthening. Treatment is FDA-cleared, non-invasive, and involves no needles or discomfort.

Who is it for?
Patients with knee or hip osteoarthritis, low back pain, plantar fasciitis, ankle sprains, shoulder or elbow tendinitis, or cervical pain from postural stress.

Benefits
Calms overactive pain receptors 
Supports cellular energy and tissue repair 
No side effects or downtime 
Effective as a standalone or combined with adjustments 
Used by professional athletes for accelerated recovery
Laser Therapy
Intersegmental Traction

What is it?
Patients lie face-up on a table with roller cams beneath the surface that slowly travel along the spine, introducing passive motion into each vertebral segment. Sessions last 15 minutes and are conducted in a dedicated room with therapeutic lighting. The therapy is frequently combined with electrical muscle stimulation and chiropractic adjustments for optimal outcomes

Who is it for?
Patients with lumbar disc pathology, thoracic or lumbar facet syndromes, postural stiffness from desk work, or those preparing for a chiropractic adjustment to improve its effectiveness.

Benefits
Restores spinal elasticity and fluid circulation
Comfortable and relaxing; no effort required
Supports nervous system communication
Pairs well with adjustments and e-stim
Helpful for both acute care and wellness maintenance
Intersegmental Traction
Electrical Muscle Stimulation

What is it?
Small amounts of electrical current are delivered to affected soft tissues via two pads placed on opposite sides of the treatment area. The current blocks nociception, the pain signals fired by irritated muscles and joints, while also reducing spasticity and swelling. Sessions last approximately 15 minutes and are most commonly prescribed during the initial phase of care.

Who is it for?
Patients experiencing soft tissue pain accompanied by swelling, inflammation, or muscle spasticity, including those with cervical or lumbar strain, disc-related pain, or extremity injuries to the knee, ankle, shoulder, wrist, or elbow.

Benefits
Reduces pain sensation
Decreases swelling and inflammation
Promotes general muscle tone
Speeds the healing process
Works well alongside traction and laser therapy
Electrical Muscle Stimulation
Personal Injury Care

What is it?
Motor vehicle accidents cause sprains and strains that trigger an inflammatory response affecting joints and nerves throughout the body. Care here focuses on restoring spinal motion and addressing that inflammation through chiropractic adjustments, with treatment plans individualized based on the patient's age and the nature of the injury. Prompt care is emphasized, as delayed treatment allows inflammation to settle deeper into tissues.

Who is it for?
Anyone injured in a motor vehicle accident experiencing neck pain, back pain, whiplash, or joint stiffness, particularly those who have been told that medication or physical therapy alone is sufficient.

Benefits
Addresses root cause, not just pain symptoms
Restores spinal motion after trauma
Reduces inflammation before it becomes chronic
Individualized care based on injury type and age
Same-day appointments available
Personal Injury Care
Digital X-Rays

What is it?
On-site digital X-ray imaging is available same-day, with no referral required. Images appear instantly on screen, allowing Dr. O'Donahue to review findings with the patient in real time and reach a diagnosis in 10-15 minutes. This in-office system is rare among Greenville private practices and covers the full spine as well as extremities.

Who is it for?
New patients with undiagnosed pain, anyone with a recent injury from home, work, or sports, and established patients monitoring arthritis, alignment changes, or progress through a care plan.

Benefits
Diagnosis in 10-15 minutes, no extra stops
No prior insurance authorization required
Covers the spine and all extremities
Images reviewed together in real time
Guides safer, more precise adjustments

Same-Day Diagnosis and Answers

Get in-house digital X-rays for a fast diagnosis in 10-15 minutes-no referral needed. Our digital X-ray system—rare in Greenville and Winterville private practices—lets you get answers and a plan without extra stops. We use a variety of techniques to help restore balance and mobility, including the Activator Method, a hand-held, spring-loaded instrument for precise, gentle adjustments of the spine and extremities, Diversified for a hands-on approach to restore motion in joints, and drop-table adjustments, using specialized tables to make care more comfortable.

We're also proud to offer Intersegmental traction, which mobilizes the spine and stimulates the nervous system, while electrical muscle stimulation calms pain signals and prepares tissues to respond.

OUR SERVICES

Understanding the Root Cause of Your Condition

At O'Donahue Chiropractic, we don't just mask symptoms—we address what's causing them. Chiropractic care works by restoring proper nervous system function and spinal alignment, allowing your body to communicate and heal the way it was designed to.

When the spine is misaligned or joints aren't moving correctly, it disrupts the signals between your brain and body. This interference can show up as:

Back and
Neck Pain Often from spinal stress, poor posture, or restricted movement
Headaches &
Migraines Frequently linked to tension, nerve pressure, or neck misalignment
Sciatica Nerve irritation traveling from the lower back down the leg
Fibromyalgia Widespread pain that may improve with nervous system support
Whiplash & Auto
Accident Injuries Trauma that disrupts spinal stability and soft tissue
Arthritis &
Healthy Aging Joint degeneration accelerated by poor movement patterns
Stress & Stress-Related
Conditions Physical tension that builds when the nervous system stays on high alert
Plantar Fasciitis &
Ankle Sprains Pain and inflammation from foot or ankle injuries
Knee, Shoulder, Wrist
& Elbow PainJoint irritation from injury or overuse

By correcting the source—not just treating the symptom—we help restore balance, reduce pain, and support your body's natural ability to heal from the inside out.

Laser Therapy and Healthy Aging Support

Our Class IV Multi Radiance laser uses photobiomodulation to reduce pain and then support tissue repair (like building energy in the cells so tissues can recover). Sessions build on each other, much like a prescription, and are especially helpful for knees, ankles, shoulders, and arthritic joints. We'll explain the body's phases of healing (inflammatory, repair, remodeling) and set honest timelines. As your Greenville chiropractor, we set clear expectations so you can stay consistent and see steady progress.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect on my first visit?

Plan on 30-45 minutes. Dr. O'Donahue will listen to your concerns, assess if chiropractic is right for you, and refer to a trusted medical partner if needed. If he can help, you'll have a physical exam, digital X-rays if needed. On visit two, you'll review findings and receive a care plan based on your goals and your future vision of your overall health, and receive your first adjustment.

What techniques do you use at O'Donahue Chiropractic?

We use Activator Method (a gentle, precise adjusting instrument for spine and extremities), Diversified (hands-on adjustments to restore joint motion), and drop-table adjustments (special tables that make care comfortable). Intersegmental traction mobilizes the spine and supports the nervous system. Electrical muscle stimulation reduces pain signals and helps tissues respond to care.

How many visits will I need before I feel better?

Some patients feel relief quickly, while others need more time based on age, condition, and severity. We educate you on the body's healing phases: early inflammation, repair over weeks, and remodeling over months, so you know what to expect. Typical timelines range from weeks to months based on your individual situation.

Do I need a referral from a medical doctor to see a chiropractor?

No referral is required. You can schedule directly and receive same-day imaging and care when needed. If your case is better suited for another provider, we'll let you know and connect you.

Do you accept my insurance and what are my payment options?

We accept most major insurance plans. We also offer multiple payment options. Our team will help you understand your benefits and costs before you begin care.

What makes O'Donahue Chiropractic's approach different from other Greenville chiropractors?

You'll see Dr. O'Donahue at every single visit, not an assistant or rotating provider. The office has on-site digital X-rays, which most private practices in Greenville don't have, so you get real answers on your first visit. And because the practice combines multiple adjustment styles with therapies like Class IV laser, intersegmental traction, and e-stim, your care plan can address much more than just the spine.
