Dr. Kevin MurphyI’m Dr. Murphy, I began my journey in pursuit of being a health care provider by obtaining my undergraduate degree from LeMoyne College in Syracuse, NY, in biology with cum laude honors. While pursuing my undergraduate studies, with plans of then becoming a Physician Assistant, I dedicated myself to serving my community of Syracuse, NY as an NYS EMT.
My introduction to the benefits of chiropractic care came through my work as an EMT. During my shifts, I often transported patients to various healthcare providers. The physically demanding nature of the job, involving frequent lifting of patients and equipment, eventually led to a serious lower back injury for me. Initially, I sought relief from my family doctor, who prescribed muscle relaxers, but they provided little relief. At the suggestion of a family member, I decided to try chiropractic care. Within just two weeks of regular visits to my chiropractor, I experienced complete relief from pain. This transformative experience led me to reconsider my career path. Instead of pursuing Physician Assistant school, I resolved to dedicate myself to helping patients find alternative methods of pain relief, such as chiropractic care, rather than relying solely on prescription drugs and surgery. Thus, I made the decision to apply to chiropractic school, determined to make a difference in people's lives through conservative care.
I completed my Chiropractic education at Northeast College of Health Sciences, formerly New York Chiropractic College in Seneca Falls, NY in March 2024. There, I excelled academically, graduating with honors. I also pursued various certifications, including Nimmo, a soft tissue technique, Whole Foods nutrition, and advanced analysis of the lower extremities and orthotics application.
With a deep appreciation for conservative care for pain relief, I feel that I bring a comprehensive approach to patient care; blending conventional chiropractic, nutrition, and soft tissue manipulation techniques together. I also value the relationships I build with my patients because I believe that my patients and I are truly a team when it comes to accomplishing their goals whether that be pain relief, increased mobility, or just trying to stay active.
Outside of the clinic, I enjoy hiking with my dog, going to the gym, spending quality time with friends and family, and traveling.
I look forward to meeting you.

Neck Pain
If you have neck pain due to a sports injury or a medical condition, the discomfort can significantly affect your daily activities. At Spine Pain Center in North Myrtle Beach, SC, we provide non-invasive treatments to reduce your symptoms and help you feel your best. Before visiting us, take a look at some common causes of neck pain below:
Common Causes of Neck Pain
There are several factors that can cause neck pain, such as auto accident injuries, arthritis, herniated discs, and pinched nerves. Poor posture can also lead to discomfort and even cause headaches. Some nerves in your cervical spine may sustain damage as well if you don’t fix the way you position your body. Over time, your muscles may also weaken and become more vulnerable to injuries.
Treatments for Neck Pain
Our chiropractors may use a combination of treatments to reduce your neck pain. We may start with chiropractic adjustments, which properly align your pain and relieve discomfort. Along with the adjustments, we might utilize spinal decompression. This method utilizes a specialized machine to stretch your spine and take pressure off of the discs. Additionally, your care plan may include cold laser therapy, as it can reduce inflammation and help you heal faster.
What to Expect During Your First Visit
When you visit us, we will perform a physical exam and review your medical history. Afterward, our chiropractors will develop a treatment plan for your specific needs. You might also have your first treatment during the initial consultation. While you may experience relief after, it is important to stay consistent with your care plan to recover completely.
