EDS Healthcare in South Carolina
MUSC in Charleston has a Division of Medical Genetics that evaluates connective tissue disorders including EDS. South Carolina does not have an EDS Society Center of Excellence. Duke University in Durham, North Carolina and Mayo Clinic Jacksonville in Florida are the nearest Centers of Excellence and specialized programs.
South Carolina's EDS resources are concentrated in Charleston. Patients in the Upstate (Greenville-Spartanburg) area, the Midlands, and rural parts of the state face significant travel to reach MUSC. Upstate patients may find Duke University in Durham more accessible than Charleston.
Finding Physical Therapy for EDS
When choosing a PT for EDS, ask whether they have experience with hypermobility and use stabilization-first protocols rather than standard stretching routines.
