Hello All! I am Daniel Charles! I was born in Brooklyn New York and lived there until I was about 7, when my family decided to move to Columbia, South Carolina. I grew up just outside of Columbia in a town called Blythewood. I met my wife when she was 10 and I was 11, in Blythewood, South Carolina. There we went to middle school, high school, grew up in youth group, and eventually I went to college at Winthrop University and she went to college at Queens University in Charlotte, thirty minutes away. My wife and I have been together for over 7 years and now consider Rock Hill our home with our fur baby, Roy, who is a Boston Terrier and Pit Bull mix.  

My education is from Winthrop University where I acquired my Bachelor’s Degree in Athletic Training with a minor in Health. I acquired my Master’s Degree from Winthrop University in Sport and Fitness Administration/Management as well. I am a certified Athletic Trainer in the state of South Carolina, and I am also nationally certified.  

Prior to working at the Applied Technology Center, I worked as the Assistant Athletic Trainer to South Pointe High School athletics and later became Head Athletic Trainer to Chester High School. I have also worked in multiple Orthopedic Practices providing a variety of services to patients in need. I bring years of clinical experience, anecdotes, and knowledge directly from the field into the classroom to aid in educating my students. 

I graduated in 2006 as Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelors of Science from South Carolina State University located in Orangeburg, South Carolina. I’ve studied breast cancer research at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, South Carolina during an internship. After receiving my bachelor’s degree, I enrolled at formerly known prestigious Sherman College of Straight Chiropractic which is now known as Sherman College of Chiropractic, located in Spartanburg, South Carolina. I have since graduated from Sherman College of Chiropractic as a Doctor of Chiropractic in 2010 after 4-years of intensive studies. I am board certified by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners and South Carolina Board of Chiropractic Examiners.

During the matriculation of the chiropractic program, I served as a chiropractic intern. During my internship, I became a co-author of 3 peer-reviewed publications which are located within: The Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research, The Journal of Chiropractic Education, and The Journal of Chiropractic Medicine. I’ve had the opportunity to work with practicing chiropractors to provide the highest quality of patient care using advance technology.

My profession has helped with a variety of conditions such as: ADHD, autism, back pain, carpal tunnel, headaches, hypertension, migraines, numbness and tingling, sciatica, and etc. My experience has given me the great opportunity to impact the well-being of individuals allowing them to express health inside-out and understand the true meaning of chiropractic care. My mission is to provide quality service with the preeminent knowledge, competencies, professionalism, and skills to all recipients of care. I am dedicated to addressing vertebral subluxations with the purpose of reinstating proper nerve function.

I was born in Rock Hill, SC, but I lived in many other states because I come from a military family. I’ve taught Anatomy and Physiology to college students in North Carolina and South Carolina. Since 2017, I’ve been teaching Health Science secondary education for Rock Hill School District 3.
