Sciatica treatment in Salem, OR: Sciatica is a condition characterized by pain going down the sciatic nerve pathway which runs from the leg to the lower back.

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.
The staff here is great. They have helped me learn the proper exercises and how to strengthen my muscles to move better. Dr. Kim has been gentle and kind. 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 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!
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!
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.
