Richard B.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.

Nancy OsborneI 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

Nick SkoverI 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
At NSSC, we offer nerve pain treatment in Charleston without the risks of surgery. Options like Scrambler Therapy retrain how the brain interprets pain signals, while injections reduce swelling around irritated nerves. Laser therapy supports healing at a cellular level, calming inflammation and improving function. These methods often provide results with little to no downtime.
Nerve pain is often sharp, burning, or tingling. It can radiate along a nerve path, reaching your arms, legs, hands, or feet. You may also experience numbness or weakness.
Joint pain frequently feels achy, stiff, or sore. It usually stays in one place, like your knee, shoulder, or hip. It often worsens with movement, pressure, or activity.
Dr. Alexander carefully evaluates your symptoms to determine if you need nerve or joint treatment. In Charleston, NSSC delivers professional support for lasting relief.
