Charleston Health and Fitness

Voted Best Plastic Surgeon by the readers of Charleston City Paper, Dr. Jack Hensel Jr. works alongside medical specialists to improve the body's health and appearance. Body-contouring treatments and weight-loss programs diminish fat and enhance curves, helping women to achieve hourglass or farfalle proportions. Injections of Botox and dermal fillers erase signs of aging but allow patients to keep their memories, and teeth-whitening procedures brighten up biters. In time, laser hair-removal sessions eliminate the need for shaving or waxing. The center promises a high standard of care regardless of the treatment, staying abreast of the latest technologies and ethical standards when helping women to achieve their desired aesthetic.

At I'On Health, Dr. Alan Comen and his team of wellness professionals target potential sources of pain and fatigue with chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, and nutritional supplements. Staffers manipulate muscle tissue during therapeutic massages, using circular friction to boost circulation and focused pressure to make knots confess who stole the cookie from the cookie jar. They also guide clients toward Standard Process supplements made from nutrient-rich whole foods. Products range from multivitamins such as Senaplex to probiotics such as Lact-Enz.

Inspired by a passion for dance that began with classical ballet lessons at the age of two, Meredith Williams took up Pilates in 2001. The graceful, core-focused discipline reminded her of the best parts of dance, and her growing enthusiasm led her to pursue her Stott Pilates certification within just a few years. Known as “Miss Motivation” to her friends, she lived up to her nickname and didn’t stop there—her success with Pilates finally led her to develop her own core-focused, quick-paced workout program, and so M Body Fitness was born.

Today, Meredith’s classes target and strengthen core muscles with innovative whole-body vibrational floors and bodyweight suspension training. After equipping her students with bosu balls that create unstable surfaces ideal for toning stomach muscles, she leads them through quick cardio bursts that liquidate fat faster than a soap company’s closing sale.

Led by Drs. Adam Greenman and Sean Gaffney, the caregivers at Long Point Family Chiropractic know that most health concerns have roots extending far beyond superficial symptoms. The team roots out these primary ailments with corrective, health-enhancing treatments ranging from chiropractic adjustments to nutritional consultations. The doctoring duo is made up of licensed and certified extremity practitioners who focus on afflicted limbs and spinal problems caused by sleeping on top of a pyramid. With more than 25 years of collective experience, their massage therapists ease inflamed muscles and injuries with smooth, gentle strokes. When they aren't mending worn-out bones and brawn, Long Point's experts also offer detoxification and weight-loss treatments, and treatments powered by herbal medicine.

At NeuroLogic Integrated Health, doctors of chiropractic give their patients the same kinds of precise spinal adjustments that helped the professionals recover from injuries and afflictions of their own. All three physicians discovered chiropractic care as patients first, suffering from sports injuries, recurring headaches, or uncontrollable compulsions to hug strangers. They each found relief through the holistic approach, which takes patients' medical history and lifestyle into consideration to treat a broad range of physical ailments. Today, these doctors look beyond their patients' mere symptoms to get a picture of each person's whole health and get to the roots of their maladies.
