DI chiropractor enters 25th year caring for Charleston Battery players

Longtime Daniel Island resident Dr. David Theobald of Theobald Family Chiropractic returns as the official chiropractor for the Charleston Battery soccer team for the 25th year. 

 

Dr. Theobald will provide chiropractic care to players before all home matches. Players will also be seen in his Mount Pleasant office. 

 

“It is an honor to care for these professional athletes and be part of the team that keeps them on the field,” Dr. Theobald said. “I have learned an incredible amount about sports injury and rehabilitation caring for these players for a quarter of a century.

 

“It has been extremely helpful in my everyday practice; in fact, there are not many injuries that I have not been exposed to.” 

 

Battery player Aaron Molloy said, “The chiropractic adjustments that I receive from Dr. Theobald help me avoid injury, increase my flexibility, and I find I recover faster.”

SC Chamber advocacy efforts 

The South Carolina Chamber of Commerce released its annual Results for Business report that recaps its advocacy efforts during the 2025 state legislative session. 

 

According to the chamber’s report, its advocacy efforts resulted in over an $807 million impact for South Carolina’s business community, or about $4,275 per employer in the state.

 

“The chamber has set forth an aggressive agenda to help our businesses and stimulate South Carolina’s economy, and we made tremendous progress in the first year of this legislative session,” said chamber president and CEO Mike Brenan. “With the help of the forward-thinking leadership in the General Assembly, we were able to deliver relief from a broken civil justice system that cost our businesses and families millions of dollars each year, significant tax cuts, confidence in the future of the state’s energy grid, and technical college scholarships for the most critical jobs.”

 

Brenan, in the chamber’s press release, added, “These policies will undoubtedly make South Carolina an even better state for business. We appreciate the opportunity to represent the interests of South Carolina’s job creators and will work collaboratively with the General Assembly to deliver even more pro-business wins in 2026.”
