Back Pain Treatment
Back Pain Treatment in Salem OR: Back pain can manifest itself in various ways to cause pain, irritation and lack of range of motion in the body. Back pain affects approximately three million people in the United States annually! It is important to keep the spine healthy, as it is the center of the body and connects to everything, either directly or via the nervous system. Chiropractic care can help keep patients to live pain-free regardless of their lifestyle.
Stop living with back pain:
Upper and middle back pain may be caused by muscle or ligament strains, poor posture and damage or tension involving the discs in the spinal column. This can happen very easily to people who work at a desk five days a week! It can also occur from pressure on the spinal nerves from certain problems, such as a herniated disc.
Low back pain is usually caused by strains or sprains from improper lifting, poor posture, lack of regular exercise, fracture, ruptured disk or arthritis. It is important to be mindful of the body and how it is positioned during daily tasks to avoid injury. But sometimes, almost seemingly at random, back pain can strike, causing pain, discomfort and decreased quality of life.
Common symptoms of back pain:
- Numbness or tingling
- Radiating or sharp, shooting pain
- Severe pain that does not improve after resting
- Pain after a fall or an injury
- Weakness
- Trouble urinating
- Fever
Chiropractic care promotes longevity and reduces pain:
Chiropractic care is a painless, low-risk and non-invasive treatment that can have lasting results with regular care. With gentle manipulation and other techniques, the body can be aligned and pain can be reduced or eliminated depending on the condition. By using varying body positions and hands-on techniques, the vertebrae in the spine will be adjusted back to their proper place within the body. This will allow the nervous system to function optimally and allows the spinal column to deliver water, blood and nutrients to the body. This will help the patient to heal and keep the body functioning at its best with regular care.
After a few sessions, many patients report feeling relief. Depending on the condition, previous ailments and other factors, the time it takes to reduce or eliminate pain may vary. It is important to regularly visit your chiropractor to see lasting results.

40 yrs of MIGRAINES have taught me that if I start with a ‘aura’ then a massive headache will follow and nothing but medication and time will take it away. However, I was in Salem the other day and started with an aura and I did not have my imitrex medication with me. I asked Dr. Whitmire if he could try to do something. He worked with me, doing a few different things. Then I took 10 minutes laying down with a hotpack….and AMAZINGLY …I avoided a full-blown migraine. Dr. Whitmire taught me a certain point to press and how to rotate my head…..and so far, I’ve stopped the progression of ‘aura to migraine’ 3 more times. Love this place!!! If you suffer from migraines I highly recommend that you try it out.

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.

JP has treated everyone in my family. From my wife, to my 20+ year old sons, my teenage daughter, my 10 year old daughter and me. Great care and thoughtfulness all the way through the process. JP also helps develop a plan to prevent future issues.

I’ve been so skeptical of chiropractic work until I talked with Dr. Whitmore. He has may years of education, practice, experience, and most of all he has people skills. He offers his patients information about what the treatment is, how it’s applied, what benefits there are, and an open mind. His knowledge of sports medicine really takes his work to the next level for patients with severe injuries. I would recommend his office to everyone.

The team at Whitmire is excellent and bring great results!! Thanks Dr. Whitmire! 

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.

They are truly amazing. I’m doing pt, message and chiro and they all have been so amazing and understanding. They understand some days I feel better than others and they work with me. They are very educated and communicate extremely well for everything. Thank you everyone for helping me feel better!

I’ve been going for about 6 months now, I see Dr. Whitmire and he’s absolutely the best! He listens to your needs and concerns. I had a pinched nerve in my neck and I was in agony, he adjusted me and I’ve never felt better! He’s very gentle if your in pain and can adjust you in many different ways. I fully recommend this establishment.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the care here! Best chiropractor in town!
