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.
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.
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.

Dr. Whitmire is intuitive, practical, and efficient at what he does. He can take one look and know what needs adjusted. He spends time with his patients in educating them on how to do self-care and rehab for their injuries. He has both an intelligent and pleasant demeanor. I highly recommend him!
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.
Dr. Whitmire has a first rate staff and has always been very attentive to the needs of my family. I really appreciate the full service he offers including massage therapists and physical therapy on site! His staff has been flexible with scheduling, and worked my daughter in on the same day when she was in an accident. In all, they have my trust!
Always a seamless and thorough experience when I go in. Dr. Whitmire is thorough, good at educating his patient, and gets things fixed every time! I feel an inch taller, more mobility, more knowledge on how to take care of my injury. Thanks Doc! Great staff too!
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.
I had a shooting pain in my lower back that was hindering my ability to work at my usual pace. A friend advised me to see a chiropractor as I had never been to one before. I called Whitmire Chiropractic and told them about my situation. Despite having a very busy schedule, they were able to get me an appointment swiftly. I loved that I was able to complete the necessary paperwork all online before I arrived my appointment. There was no waiting in the lobby. I was on time and walked right in to begin my appointment. Everyone was very polite and helpful. The day after my appointment, they call to see how I was doing and if I had any questions. Excellent Service All Around!
I’ve had physical therapy many times in the past, and visited chiropractors and massage therapists, but the fact that this place combines all three into one location and appointment system is brilliant. The chiropractor himself is very gentle and understanding about my fibromyalgia, which not all chiropractors really understand.
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!
