Today we’d like to introduce you to Jeremiah Jimerson
Jeremiah, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I opened up my first Chiropractic clinic in Summerville in 2007.
My specialty is muscles and fascia and I was lucky enough to practice a soft tissue technique called Active Release Technique, which is patented to break down and release scar tissue or myofascial adhesions in muscles and around nerves.
When I first graduated and got my first job in Western NY, I fell into working with the Buffalo Bills because I was the only doctor in the area doing the technique.
When I opened my Summerville office, there was only one doctor in the state doing Active Release and he lived in Columbia and people from Charleston had been driving two hours away to his office for treatments.
In 2008, I had fixed so many chronic pain patients and athletes that the Post & Courier did a 2 page story on myself and Active Release.
My Summerville office became flooded with patients driving as far from Kiawah and Mount Pleasant and we got 100 new patients that month.
Patients came 2 hours late and 2 hours early and missed appointments- but everyone said that if I opened a satellite office closer to Charleston and centrally located, that they would fill it.
I opened my second location in Charleston and people indeed filled it.
We got over 1000 word of mouth patients a year for 12 years from patients as well as local Orthopedists that sent me their most difficult cases.
This continued until we sold our Summerville location about 2 weeks before Covid.
We have gained notoriety for doing things differently and helping patients become pain free when nothing else has helped as well as launched online educational and coaching programs for Weight Loss and Inflammation and have garnered over 700K followers with videos reaching over 6million views on Social Media platforms
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Initially in the beginning, there was no internet searches. You could place an ad in the Yellow Pages and aside from that, if you wanted business you had to hustle.
We tried everything from walking door to door introducing ourselves to other local businesses, advertised on placemats for local diners and did educational lectures all with meager results.
Our goal was to provide the best care possible and fix chronic pain and performance cases that no one was able to treat and that’s what we focused on – ultimately that’s what carried the business.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
I am what patients often refer to as the “anti-chiropractic chiropractor”
I focus on getting to the root cause of patients pain and athletic performance issues.
Traditionally chiropractors take an x-ray, look at bones out of place or subluxations and proceed to crack or pop the bone back into place often in what seems 3x/ week for the rest of their lives.
Early on, after having dealt with my own lower back pain and disc issues I learned how to think like and engineer and ask the question “why?”
To me it wasn’t enough that a bone came out of place. Why? Well it came down to muscles and fascia and nerves, but then I had to ask why even more and began to treat repetitive strain injuries and look at injuries as a whole body issue that dealt with tight muscles and weak muscles.
The point is to not look at things from a cookie cutter approach. I’m not opposed to chiropractic manipulation but feel that it is a tool. Like a screwdriver, and you can’t build a house with just a screwdriver.
My calling card is my results and it is what I am most proud of. We have hundreds of 5 star reviews and haven’t had to advertise in 20 years because of results when nothing else has helped.
I am also proud that local Medical Doctors and Orthopedic surgeons refer me patients which is nearly unheard of in my profession.
I am proud of the hundred of thousands of followers that I’ve gotten online and the countless messages that I get every day from people around the world that I have changed their lives or their health for the better.
What matters most to you? Why?
My health and my family first.
My health because I have managed to hurt or injure most areas of my body.
I suffered with chronic disc and lower back issues for a decade. An autoimmune issue that would attack my joints, shoulder dislocations and labral tears, cervical disc herniations, IBS and IBD.
At 47, I NEVER suffer from ANY of these issues anymore because I learned to focus on the why of health. I feel better than I did in my 20s.
My family inspired me to never stop fighting to be better.
