Chiropractic Adjustments
Gentle chiropractic adjustments realign the spine to relieve nerve pressure, reduce pain, and improve mobility. Our techniques include activator adjustments and manual manipulation tailored to individual needs. Patients experience lasting relief from conditions like neck pain, headaches, and sciatica through our focus on root-cause treatment.

Made an appointment for 2.00pm. Arrived at 1:32 filled out paperwork. Sat there and watched 3 other patients go before me. It as 2:25 and still was not seen. So I left. Will look for another location with better service.

I had no idea that the back and neck pain I had been feeling for the majority of my life was abnormal. Turns out I have hip dysplasia and a straight neck. Who knew! They knew. Dr. Fantino has been an absolute miracle worker as are the entire staff. From massage therapists to the aides, I have never been better taken care of. I go once a week and the pain is miles and miles away from where I was. I can't recommend them enough!

I had a very good experience with Dr. Valerie Fantino. I've been to a few other chiropractors that want to adjust you without any warm up. Dr. Fantino followed this procedure: interview to determine issues, X-ray to determine spine issues, tens unit with hot clay to loosen up and then adjustment. This is the way to do it. My spine will never be perfect again but she should be able to get me as good as possible.

Dr Barlett is the best chiropractor I've ever had. He listens, he's thorough, and takes all factors into consideration when suggesting treatment. I've been going to him on and off almost 20 years. Won't go to anyone else!

Well, I was seeking an extremely experience Chiropractic. Also one who truly cares about the patient First! Very rare in today environment. What ever your issue, Dr. Bartlett listen with both ears and makes the time. I am a new patient and been to see chiropractor in top notch areas out West, also in Charleston. To say he is great is putting it mildly. I would have given more stars if I could. His office was clean and staff very professional. i never write reviews by the way but this was worth taking time for. Good healing to all!

This place definitely deserves 5 stars! The staff members are always friendly, and the place is super clean! Dr. Barlett will always be my #1 chiropractor, I've been going to him for at least 8 years now. He takes his time with his patients and I know that when I leave that I will feel 10 times better than how I felt coming in. Wellness Plus is definitely the place to go for your chiropractic needs!

It was a great experience from the minute I walked in. Caring staff and Dr. Bartlett was thorough and very informative. Took his time to examine and determine the issue and proceeded to do what was needed to be done to reach resolution! Thank you for sending me off on vacation in a much better state of health.
