Charleston Neck and Back Center

Description

Ralph D. Roles, D.C., D.A.C.A.N. Dr. Ralph D. Roles was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. His first experience with chiropractic came as a teenager, when he was treated for an asthmatic condition. A pre-law major in college, his interests soon turned to his fascination with the study of the human body, leading him to pursue a career in chiropractic. He graduated from the University of Pasadena, College of Chiropractic in 1976 with high honors (Magna Cum Laude) and was the Valedictorian of his class. After eight successful years of private practice in Las Vegas, he, his wife Pamela, and their two children, Keeley and Kyle moved to Charleston, which is Pam’s native home. During a career that has spanned 3 decades, Dr. Roles has continued to broaden his education and expertise well beyond a college curriculum including extensive hours of post-graduate training. His continuing-education efforts have led to certifications from the Parker Chiropractic Research Foundation, the Southeast Back Institute, and most recently the University of Florida, Colleges of Medicine and Health & Human performance. Most of this certification has been in the area of diagnosis and treatment of low back pain. In April of 1993, upon graduating from a three year postgraduate program in Chiropractic Neurology through Logan Chiropractic College and the University of Central Florida, Dr. Roles made South Carolina Chiropractic history by becoming the first Board Certified Chiropractic Neurologist in the state (D.A.C.A.N., a designation that is still unique to him in the state). Dr. Roles’ goal as a physician is to provide his patients with the highest level of care through the use of his extensive diagnostic and treatment knowledge and by utilizing state-of-the art rehabilitation equipment. It was with this goal in mind that in 1988, he helped establish the Charleston Neck & Back Center. By acquiring the latest therapeutic and rehabilitation equipment and staff, Charleston Neck & Back Center now offers one of the most technically equipped chiropractic facilities in the country and can deal effectively with most conditions involving back or neck pain. Dr. Roles continues to treat a wide variety of cases, but he now specializes in the treatment of headaches, neck pain and chronic lower back pain. His interests in the treatment of headaches came as a result of the outstanding success his patients have enjoyed in response to his treatment. He also feels that there is no greater professional reward than being able to rid a person of such a painful, re-occurring condition. His interest in specialty low back work was enhanced by his training through the Southeast Back Institute, the University of Florida, Colleges of Medicine and Health & Human Performance and his post-doctorate studies in neurology. His often-made statement “no person should elect low back surgery before attempting all conservative treatment available” is a reflection on his experience that most cases of low back pain (lumbar disc involvement included) can be successfully treated conservatively. Dr. Roles currently does consulting and second opinion work for many local chiropractic and medical physicians. Dr.
