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.

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!
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.
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 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.
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.
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!
