Advanced Spinal Care

Dr. Shariff is a lifesaver!
I herniated 2 disks 3 years ago. I have been through physical therapy, saw a pain specialist and had standing appointments with two different chiropractors. They kept me mobile but I still had pain and neuropathy every waking hour. My doctor told me I’d never be pain free, as the damage was permanent and I also had minor arthritis and scoliosis.
When I moved to Charleston I found Dr. Shariff and my life changed.
After a few months I am almost completely pain free. I am now able to do more physical things, from bike rides, to long walks.
Highly recommended!

Dr. Shariff is a very knowledgeable and honest Chiropractor. I’ve been around the block with Chiropractors because of a severe auto accident that I was involved in years ago and believe me he is rare! He really seems to know what he’s doing and helps me a lot with my long-​standing pain issues and he’s not out to pick your pocket like a lot of them are! And, having massages after an adjustment is a good way to make the adjustment «hold» longer. Brooke, Dr. Shariff’s employee is an amazingly talented massage therapist and is good at engaging small talk so it makes the whole massage experience (which can sometimes be downright uncomfortable) very tolerable and even fun!
Thank you Dr. Shariff and Brook. You both are awesome!

Dr. Shariff has a pretty laid back, relaxed setting adjacent to a pretty busy road. Arrive early for your adjustment to relax in the popular massage chairs, schedule a massage and get ready to feel better! This is more of a medical set up than a spa like setting, but the massages are worth it. Brooke has been my massage therapist for a few months now and I’m fairly addicted. She listens to any areas of pain/​complaints and I walk out feeling amazing. If you are looking to heal any aches and pains while being treated like a regular in a professional setting this is your place. Bonus, they accept some insurance so what could be stopping you?!?

I have many spinal issues including hip pain. Dr. Shariff took the time to go over my MRIs and xrays explaining what it all meant, what treatment would be best for me, what i should expect for a prognosis, and educating me on ways to sit, to sleep, to exercise, or to go about my daily life. He has been an instrumental part of my improved health and continued treatment to maintain my good health. I am so very glad that he is centrally located in Charleston and has ease of access to get an appointment. He understands the underlining issues of my discomfort as it relates to my spinal alignment and then rectifies to problematic areas. He is extremely personable with a great bed side manner. The massage chairs in the lobby assists in releasing the tension in your body as you let the worries of the day and stressers of the world melt away before your are evaluated on the table. My good health i owe to Dr Alykhan Shariff, the best chiropractor in the southeastern USA.

Although, i made my timing wrong, and went to him too early; instead of a hospital; I was treated with utmost care. He seems to know very well what he is doing.

Went today for an adjustment and massage. I walked in feeling tired and my back was hurting. I left feeling great! Dr. Shariff did an amazing adjustment on my back and neck ! Kaylee is a great asset to Advance Spinal Care as well. Great total care!

As an Licensed Massage Therapist for the past 16 years, I have worked with different Doctors of Chiropractic in the lowcountry. I have been an employee and a patient in this field of health care. When I met Dr. Shariff in 2006 as a LMT in WA, I needed a local DC to refer my clients to, I had heard very good things about him from other therapists, so I called him up to meet, I fell in love. In2004, I had been misdiagnosed with MS, due to the severity of my TMJ (very painful misalignment of the jaw), I was not going to have to take any medication at that time, but they were talking of all the things I needed to start looking into. So, 2 years later, I’m sitting in Doc’s office, talking about sending my clients to him, we discuss me, I mention my painful TMJ, next thing I know, I’m on the adjustment table and Doc is performing a cautious adjustment on my jaw. And again I say, I fell in love. Dr. Shariff got my jaw in alignment, which enabled me to come off pain meds. It has been over 9 years, I have never gone back to the pain I experienced before.
Dr. Shariff is the only Doctor of Chiropractic that will EVER adjust me. I travel from St. Stephen SC to see him for my care. I am in my early 50’s, still practicing massage, sometimes up to 6 a day, raising beef cows and goats on my farm, riding horses, throwing 50pd bags of feed, rolling 400 pound hay bales, and generally saving the world. Aly Shariff has become my friend, my coach, my drill sargent, my mentor. I can’t imagine doing the things I need to do without his Chiropractic support of my poor abused stressed body.
Dr. Shariff is the best doctor around. He listens, he cares, he knows his craft, he invests himself with his patients. When you go to his office, he treats you as a friend, you know that you matter as a person, not a number, not a job, but as a fellow human being who is in pain, and you know he cares.
Very few are of his caliber as a DC, even fewer are of his caliber as a person. Honest, careing, knowledgeable, trustworthy, these are rare traits today, but my doctor, Dr. Shariff has this in abundance.
I get emotional telling this story, to live with pain from daily life is one thing, to live with pain and never feel like people understand your pain is very hard. So, to wrap up my story, do yourself a favor, if you are thinking of an adjustment, go see Dr. Shariff. Run, don’t walk, run. It will be one of the best things you can do for yourself. I have his business cards in my shop in Summerville, I still refer all my clients to him, and as long as Doc is in business in WA, I don’t see any of that changeing. Thank you for reading this, now go get healed. Karen.

Dr. Shariff is a very knowledgeable laid back professional that educates his clients with the proper information that helps them to get optimum results. He treats people like real people and not just another client! I highly recommend him and his work!

As a Licensed Massage Therapist I believe in the importance of proper Chiropractic care. Not only do I refer my personal massage clients to Dr Shariff, I use him myself. He has an extremely gentle approach & is very skilled. If you are looking for the highest quality of care, call Advanced Spinal & Dr Shariff. Lisa M, LMT

Drs Shariff and Jodi have been keeping my back straight for over 5 years. Scheduling is the best and their professional and personal touch is second to none.

Dr. Shariff has done wonders for not only my Spinal Health, but my over all health as well. His light hearted nature and genuine concerned for his patients well being has led me to an almost pain free life style. The Massage Therapy has always been spot on, and can accommodate any size or gender (good thing considering I’m a firm 250!). I would suggest Dr. Shariff to anyone who has any type of discomfort in the back /​Neck /​Hip /​shoulder regions… His sense of humor could use a little work though ;)

Dr. Shariff has excellent service and does an outstanding job on my back! They have even been taking care of my daughter since she was a week old!
