Dr. Anthony Audino

A native New Yorker, Dr. Anthony Audino has been a resident of Myrtle Beach for the past four years. After graduating from Palmer Chiropractic College of Davenport, IA in 1994, Dr. Audino has practiced Chiropractic in New York, New Jersey and Arizona and finally discovering the charm and warmth of South Carolina in 2003. Dr Audino is married to his wife Linda, whom he met in college. She is also a chiropractor, but has been working as a real estate agent since coming to Myrtle Beach. Together, they live near the beach with their two little "fur children", Baby Boy and Pino, a toy Poodle and long hair Daschund.

Dr. Audino became a Chiropractor sort of by "accident". While growing up in New York, Dr. Audino was an avid participant in many sports. It was while playing sports he began to sustain injuries, particularly to his shoulders. After attempting to seek answers from modern medicine, it became apparent their methods of "treatment" made no sense and thus unsuccessful. Dr. Audino sought the opinion of a Chiropractor, on the recommendation from a friend as a "last resort". Not only were the results of Chiropractic care incredibly effective, but after learning the philosophy of Chiropractic, it inspired him to take a new direction in life. He applied his music degree toward his pre-requisite courses in under-graduate school and entered Palmer Chiropractic College at the end of 1990.

In his13 years of practice , Dr Audino has experienced just about every Chiropractic scenario imaginable. He has treated newborns to geriatrics as well as recognized world class professional athletes to couch potatoes, not to mention everyone in between. Through it all, it has been Dr. Audino’s desire as a Chiropractor, to educate the public about what true health care is. The main focus of his message is that there are no secrets or short cuts to achieving health, but rather using good sense and knowledge to make the right choices in life. Good health is much easier to have, than to try to get it back!

Dr. Audino practices many different adjusting techniques such as diversified, Gonstead, toggle, Activator, Pierce, Thompson, Flexion-Distraction, MC2 , and Logan Basic.

Dr. Audino is State Board Certified by the South Carolina State Board of Chiropractic Examiners, as well as National Board Certified by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners. He also has additional national board certification in Physiological Therapeutics.
