Chiropractor in Salem, OR: Athletes understand the numerous demands of participating in a sport. Putting the body through rigorous activities, such as running, jumping or tackling, can result in painful tears, sprains and strains. Seeing a Dr. Whitmire can help patients to heal faster when they have suffered sports injuries and can also help patients to prevent them.
The main reasons athletes suffer sports injuries include forceful impacts, repetitive motions, over-training and failure to warm up properly. This can happen in countless ways, depending on what activity they are doing or what sport they are playing in. As an active person, it is important for the athlete to take precautionary measures, however, sometimes injuries happen and they are often the result of injuries suffered years or even decades ago that did not heal properly.
Dr. Whitmire sees a lot of children and teens that tend to ignore what seem to be small injuries when they are active. But if these injuries are left untreated, they can lead to chronic pain in other areas, that may not even be directly related to the focal point of the injury, such the knees, hips, back and neck. Many sports injuries are insufficiently treated and allowed to rest and heal, increasing the odds that they will cause chronic pain later in life. This can lead to pain, frustration and decrease in athletic abilities.
Dr. Whitmire helps countless athletes who are suffering from pain resulting from sports injuries. Many athletes try to mask pain with medication, but this can lead to further risk and damage to the body. At Whitmire Chiropractic, our trained staff will perform a full evaluation. We will construct a treatment plan to get each patient feeling their best and back to doing what they love.
Although many people think that chiropractic is solely limited to the spine, Dr. Whtmire can help with the care and prevention of injuries to the neck, back, shoulders, knees and ankles.

Hands down the best chiropractic experience I’ve ever had. It was my first visit. We covered a ton of ground and I had a significant improvement from day one. VERY knowledgeable chiropractor who actually listened to me and looked in depth at my situation. I’m literally looking forward to my next appointment.
Since I have been getting treatments my experience has been life changing.
I had really bad whiplash from a car accident I was in and I couldn’t lift my neck up . I had severe headaches, also my treatment helped me get stronger and strengthen all my weak muscles, so now I can become stronger each day.
When I first started a couple years ago I could barely walk 20 feet I couldn’t lift my neck up, very bad muscle weakness and mobility I had so much weakness throughout my body. Furthermore, now I can hike 9 miles and I can exercise again because my injuries prevented me from exercise at the time. I know my life would have been a lot different if I never would have came to this clinic, so thank you , so much for all of your help.
Just wow! I was referred by two people to check out this place. I’m glad I listened. They actually care and are so thorough and nice. They offer all the services I need and more with a family type atmosphere that makes it more comfortable. The staff is knowledgeable and there to help. I know I made the right choice by choosing Whitmire Chiropractic.
Amazing chiropractic office! I love that they combine chiro with PT and massage therapy. Everyone is super nice, the whole office is very clean, just a great experience from start to finish.
All the staff is amazing and truly want to help you get better and feel better. I have had a wonderful experience and would recommend this office to everyone! I have even got my husband to go and be seen.
Dr. Whitmire was so thorough with mine and my daughter’s appointments. He explained everything so well and was helpful and gave a lot of good feedback and information. Best chiropractor I’ve ever been to!
I can’t begin to say how great everyone is at Whitmire! I am very glad my sister’s friend recommended them to me as I was struggling to walk and it had been a long ongoing process with many doctors. After a month there I am able to move around and getting my strength back to hopefully start running again soon.
