Dr. Michael Coon - Chiropractic director
Dr. Michael Coon is the founder of Alpha Medical and Spinal Care.
When he originally opened the doors to the office, his desire was to provide conservative treatment for pain management. He believes that he can offer a viable alternative to surgery. Dr. Coon’s idea for his practice was derived from his medical experience as a Navy Corpsman in Charleston, SC's Navy Hospital.
The experience he gained in the Naval hospital prompted him to become a chiropractic physician, and it was also the catalyst for beginning his own practice, where he would combine both medical physicians and chiropractors. His goal is to provide more comprehensive and holistic approaches to common medical problems.
After serving as a Navy Corpsman from 1974-1978 in Charleston, SC, Dr. Coon graduated second in his class from the Medical University of South Carolina in 1980 as a respiratory therapist. He then attended Life Chiropractic College and graduated Magna Cum Laude in 1983. Dr. Coon opened his first facility in James Island and from there he expanded to bring Alpha Medical and Spinal Care to North Charleston and Summerville.
