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.

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!
