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.

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.
Dr. Whitmire is knowledgeable, professional, and friendly . He made it easy to understand my diagnosis and care plan. The staff at the office was friendly and helpful. Although it was a busy day I felt I got great service.

Mikka is an awesome massage therapist, and Jerry is knowledgeable and always encouraging in PT. Yes, there is a lot of paperwork, but once you do it, the information is saved and you can just edit it. I think I’m finally learning some tools to help me change my chronic pain.
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!
