We founded Ideal Posture and Spine in 2014 because we wanted to provide people with those same life changing experiences that saved us.

Our Team

Dr. Seth Strauss

Founder & Chiropractor

Howzit! I’m Dr. Strauss

I have a passion for health restoration. Why? You have been failed and lied to by our current medical system. According to the American Journal of Medicine, and the, British Medical Journal, Iatrogenic deaths (Medical errors) are the number one cause of death in America. When it comes to your most important assets, your health, the current system has nothing to offer you. The fire department can only stop the building from burning down, they can not repair the building, or most importantly prevent the fire from happening in the first place. It is my passion to provide my patients with better solutions and outcomes. You were designed to be healthy, and you are always healing. Facts. My daily conversations with patients are proof enough of all the lies, misinformation, and blatant capitalization on human health. Fuck that shit! With over 15 years of experience in maximizing performance and minimizing injuries. I have worked with professional mixed martial arts fighters, rugby players, weekend warriors, fathers, mothers, children, and everything in between, from all over the world.

If you are a human being who actually gives a shit, I will help you design an integrative, individualized plan to improve your quality of life by reducing physical and emotional pain from injury and "aging" and eliminating the need for pharmaceuticals or surgery.

Dr. Shayla Italo

Chiropractor Focused On Scoliosis Management, Scolicare Bracing, & Functional Medicine

Hi, I’m Dr. Italo!

I have a fierce passion for helping people and have a longstanding history in and around healthcare.

During my childhood, I spent countless hours and days with my grandfather in a nursing home. He had suffered a stroke and was permanently disabled after a medical-induced injury. In high school, I was able to study nursing and became a Certified Nurse’s Assistance my senior year. It was while I was working in a Nursing Home that I decided I needed to help PREVENT health deterioration.

I attended Life University to obtain my bachelors in Biology with a focus in Psychology.

Then, I completed my Doctorate in Chiropractic at Life University. During that time, I started exploring the reasons WHY health starts to decline and HOW to change sickness into wellness. I went to dozens of doctors and read hundreds of books looking for answers on how to fix my own health problems. That’s when I found Functional Medicine and spinal remodeling through Chiropractic BioPhysics.

My specialty is looking at each person as an individual and creating a unique road to total body wellness. This includes your spine, your brain, your gut, your muscles, your hormones, your spirit… YOU!

I have a passion for questioning everything. My health and the health of my family are worth it, and so is yours! My job is to get to the root cause of your pain, sickness, dysfunction, or fatigue and help educate, guide, and support you on your unique wellness journey! At the end of the day, I won’t promise the journey will be easy, but I can promise that YOU are worth it.

Dr. James Kane

Chiropractor Focused On Sports Injuries, Rehabilitation, & Functional Medicine

Dr. Kane chose to become a chiropractor after experiencing its restorative benefits following an injury he sustained while obtaining his undergraduate degree at UC, Davis. Once he experienced the power of chiropractic, he changed his course of study from veterinary school to chiropractic school. He completed his doctorate at Western States Chiropractic College in Portland, OR. In addition to providing quality chiropractic care, Dr. Kane is also a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner and a Certified Integrative Health Practitioner. With these post-doctorate certifications, Dr. Kane is able to evaluate and assist patients in balancing their digestion, hormones, thyroid function, weight, and other common health issues.

Dr. Kane recently relocated from Lake Tahoe where he owned a multi-disciplinary clinic. He helped families, adventurous seniors, and some of the nation’s most extreme athletes with their injuries, acute care, pain management, and rehabilitation all of which were common in an adventurous resort town.

When Dr. Kane and his wife expanded their family with two children, they decided to sell their home and business in Lake Tahoe to embark on a search for the perfect place to raise their children. They moved their family plus 3 dogs into a motorhome and spent almost a year traveling across 20 states looking for their family community. They chose the Lowcountry because of the opportunities for their family, the beautiful beaches, the multitude of sports activities, and the unsurpassed growth and prosperity the Lowcountry has to offer.

Brittany Gayheart

Office Manager

Hey, Brittany here!

I am usually the first person you see when you walk in and the last person you talk to as you walk out the door!

I moved to South Carolina in December of 2020 and have loved every minute of it!

My story begins in Indiana, where my love for Chiropractic started at a young age. Headaches ruled my life for so long, I started seeing a Chiropractor there and eventually started working as his manager for 5 years! Chiropractic was not only a job, it was a passion and a way of life! Then, life had other plans for me. This new path in life took me away from Chiropractic for a few years and into construction, which fed another passion I have.

When I moved to South Carolina I found myself drawn to chiropractic, and this beautiful office found me! I love the connection that comes with the patients, the success stories, and the overall joyous feeling that lives here!

One thing I never forget when I walk in this door and I hope every patient feels the same: You Matter, Your Health Matters, and You are Unstoppable!
