Sick of chronic aches and pains? The time for relief has come.
Shoulder stiffness, aching knees, foot and ankle discomfort, or painful hips can stop you from enjoying daily life. Joint pain makes it hard to stay active, sleep comfortably, or do simple tasks.
At Non-Surgical Spine Center, our advanced therapies for joint pain relief in Charleston can help patients move with greater ease and confidence.



Whether you’re walking, lifting, or reaching overhead, our treatments aim to restore motion and reduce stiffness.

Our therapies calm irritated joints, decreasing swelling and discomfort so you can enjoy daily activities and leave pain behind.

We go beyond simply treating symptoms. Our approach helps stabilize joints and strengthen surrounding muscles to improve mobility.

At your first appointment, we focus on you. Dr. Alexander answers your questions, addresses your concerns, and reviews your health history to understand the root cause of your joint issues. We then build a plan to treat your pain.

We tailor treatment plans to target specific joints and types of discomfort. You may receive peripheral joint injections, intra-articular hip injections, hip bursa injections, trigger point injections, laser therapy, regenerative medicine, or other adjunct therapies.

Relief looks different for every patient. Some notice significantly less tenderness within days, while others experience gradual improvements in mobility and comfort over weeks or months. Dr. Alexander and the team closely monitor your progress and adjust treatments as needed.

Very impressed with this medical office. Dr. Alexander’s office is well staffed and well run. He has one of the very few Scrambler Therapy machines in private practice and the treatment I received resolved my 20+ year peripheral neuropathy to the point I stopped taking 900-1800mg of daily Gabapentin. I am an extremely pleased patient.

I went to Dr Alexander in terrible back pain- at least a 10 level. He came up with a plan to do an injection and then some laser treatments. I finished the laser treatments and can say I am out of pain. The other positive thing going on in his office is the staff. Everyone of the people I have encountered were excellent. I am so happy to find the Non Surgical Spine Center. If you are in pain this is your place. Nancy Osborne

Barbara Williams: I have been Dr. Alexander patient my mother and I for over 10 years. The staff is very friendly and they treat you with respect. They make you feel at home. Dr. Alexander he listens to you explaining your situation and he’s very respectful and understanding and try to get to know you as a person. I feel very safe with him and his Staff. The last injection I gotten from him lasted about 3 years and I’m about to get another injection for the New Year.

I have had back issues on and off for the last 10 years. Every doctor I have been to has recommended surgery UNTIL NOW. Dr. Alexander and his awesome team have worked with me to find alternatives to surgery ranging from injections to physical therapy. Not only am I now pain free but I also have a doctor I can trust which is invaluable. His team also provides a 5 star service making appointments quick and easy. I can not say enough good things about all aspects of this center which is very rare in the medical field these days.

At NSSC, we offer joint pain relief in Charleston to treat the following areas:
It’s not always easy to tell. Joint pain is stiff, sore, or swollen, and can worsen with movement or after long periods of rest. But sometimes, a pinched nerve, strained muscles, or spinal problems can be the cause.
That’s why consultations and exams are so important. Dr. Alexander reviews your history, evaluates how your body moves, and may order an X-ray or MRI to gain a deeper understanding. This helps confirm whether the pain is truly coming from the joint itself or another area. With that information, he can guide you toward the right treatment for lasting relief.
There are many factors that cause joint pain. At NSSC, Dr. Alexander builds every plan around your needs.
Common treatments include:
Dr. Alexander and his team perform every treatment with precision and focus on safe, non-surgical results. Most joint pain relief in Charleston is quick outpatient procedures designed to help you move with less pain and more confidence.
