Chiropractor in Salem, OR: Athletes understand the numerous demands of participating in a sport. Putting the body through rigorous activities, such as running, jumping or tackling, can result in painful tears, sprains and strains. Seeing a Dr. Whitmire can help patients to heal faster when they have suffered sports injuries and can also help patients to prevent them.
The main reasons athletes suffer sports injuries include forceful impacts, repetitive motions, over-training and failure to warm up properly. This can happen in countless ways, depending on what activity they are doing or what sport they are playing in. As an active person, it is important for the athlete to take precautionary measures, however, sometimes injuries happen and they are often the result of injuries suffered years or even decades ago that did not heal properly.
Dr. Whitmire sees a lot of children and teens that tend to ignore what seem to be small injuries when they are active. But if these injuries are left untreated, they can lead to chronic pain in other areas, that may not even be directly related to the focal point of the injury, such the knees, hips, back and neck. Many sports injuries are insufficiently treated and allowed to rest and heal, increasing the odds that they will cause chronic pain later in life. This can lead to pain, frustration and decrease in athletic abilities.
Dr. Whitmire helps countless athletes who are suffering from pain resulting from sports injuries. Many athletes try to mask pain with medication, but this can lead to further risk and damage to the body. At Whitmire Chiropractic, our trained staff will perform a full evaluation. We will construct a treatment plan to get each patient feeling their best and back to doing what they love.
Although many people think that chiropractic is solely limited to the spine, Dr. Whtmire can help with the care and prevention of injuries to the neck, back, shoulders, knees and ankles.

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.
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 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!
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.
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!
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.
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!
