Why do injuries happen?
Dr. Jeremiah Jimerson
IT’S NOT JUST A MATTER OF TREATING SYMPTOMS, BUT SOLVING YOUR WHY
Far too many people waste time and money chasing symptoms. Getting adjustments, countless physical therapy hours, stretching and foam rolling, injections and surgeries while never getting true clarity about WHY their pain happened in the first place – this needs to STOP!
Do you have pain at the front of your hip?
Do you have pain on the side of your hip?
Do you have groin pain?
Hip arthritis, hip bursitis, piriformis syndrome, sacroiliac (SI) dysfunction and low back disc injuries can all result in hip pain.
Dr. Jimerson has successfully treated and resolved THOUSANDS of each of those types of hip pain cases over the past 15 years in his Chiropractic offices in Summerville and Charleston. Over 90% of Hip pain patients report 90% improvement in the first visit with most hip pain cases resolving in 4-6 visits (depending on severity of the Most case).
Hip pain often likes to rear itself at periods of rest such as when you’re trying to sleep on your side or when you’ve been sitting for a period of time and raise to a standing position. Most people are walking around with chronic hip muscle imbalances without realizing it.
Dr. Jimerson starts each hip pain case with an evaluation of where the hip pain case actually stems from. Imbalances across the body can result in hip pain or injury. Dr. Jimerson resolved a chronic hip pain case in a runner sent by the College of Charleston whose hip pain stemmed from her shoulder issues on the opposite side.
From there he typically treats affected areas with Active Release Technique, a patented scar tissue treatment that resolves adhesions in the muscles, tendons, ligaments and around nerves that cause muscle imbalances. He also utilizes his proprietary pain technique that gets rid of pain and increases range of motion in seconds.
Treating symptoms is one thing, finding the root cause of those symptoms SOLVES the problem
The world of pain relief is filled with marketing and massive amounts of myopic thinking. This chiropractor says “a bone is out of place,” that physical therapy office says “just do this 10 pages of exercises” and often the medical approach is to medicate, inject, or cut – sadly, that’s the world that we live in and unlike this website it’s not all black and white.
The fact is, treating symptoms will never result in permanent relief. It’s like duct taping a leaky ceiling. It might look good for a hot minute, but it doesn’t take that long before you wish you hired a better contractor.
After being in the pain and performance world for 20 plus years, my focus today is providing immediate relief, but also being the detective that leaves no stone unturned of showing you how to keep it that way.
Dr. Jeremiah is my go to for my patients when all else fails

An incredibly common hip imbalance is shortened, tight and weak hip flexor muscles. Your hip flexor brings or flexes your leg up in front of you. You have 2 sets of hip flexor muscles. One attaches from your leg directly to your spine (and can cause lower back and disc injuries resultant) and the other attaches from the leg and goes directly to the front of your hip.
Most of the population of Charleston (as well as the rest of the planet) has this issue due to sitting. We, as humans do tons of sitting cumulatively during the course of a day which leads to chronic imbalances of your hip.
When one muscle contracts, the opposite muscle neurologically starts to relax. If being in the seated position causes our hip flexors to shorten, our butt muscles neurologically begin to relax or weaken contributing to chronic hip pain and injuries.
No matter the cause or what previous treatments you’ve tried for your hip injuries in Charleston, you haven’t tried this methodology before. Over 90% of patients with chronic hip injuries reports feeling over 90% relief of their pain even after the first visit with the majority of hip injuries resolving in 4-6 visits (depending on severity of case and patient compliance with minimal effort maximum benefit home physical therapy exercises).
While Dr. Jimerson has been voted best chiropractor in Charleston, he doesn’t necessarily look at things from a chiropractic perspective and thus avoids unnecessary chiropractic adjustments and x-rays. It is this methodology and his ability to look at injuries from an outside the box perspective that Charleston Orthopedic Surgeons, Physical Therapists and other Chiropractors routinely refer complex and unfixable pain cases to him.
