Sports Injury Rehabilitation Treatment
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.
Sports injuries can limit performance and cause pain:
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.
Our patients experience relief from many symptoms:
- Swelling
- Burning, dull pain
- Headaches
- Muscle Pains

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 Doctor and Staff are welcoming and very informative. I tend to ask a lot of questions and they always answer my as best as possible. It’s nice to go to a doctor that really wants to get their patients better. I highly recommend JP for anyone seeking chiro!

They are truly amazing. I’m doing pt, message and chiro and they all have been so amazing and understanding. They understand some days I feel better than others and they work with me. They are very educated and communicate extremely well for everything. Thank you everyone for helping me feel better!

Absolutely love this place! All the staff is excellent to work with. Explain everything you need to know, definitely helping to put me on the road to a long recovery!

Love these people and everything they do. They are amazing and listen to all your needs.

I’ve been so skeptical of chiropractic work until I talked with Dr. Whitmore. He has may years of education, practice, experience, and most of all he has people skills. He offers his patients information about what the treatment is, how it’s applied, what benefits there are, and an open mind. His knowledge of sports medicine really takes his work to the next level for patients with severe injuries. I would recommend his office to everyone.

Great place!!! Everybody here is very nice and they really care about their patients. I have never walked into a place where I am greeted by such delightful people. They knew me by my first name on only the second time I was there, very impressive!! Doctor Whitmire is a great guy and he has alot of solid advice and he knows what is the best treatment for each individual. If you’ve got aches and pains, go see JP Whitmire and his outstanding staff!

40 yrs of MIGRAINES have taught me that if I start with a ‘aura’ then a massive headache will follow and nothing but medication and time will take it away. However, I was in Salem the other day and started with an aura and I did not have my imitrex medication with me. I asked Dr. Whitmire if he could try to do something. He worked with me, doing a few different things. Then I took 10 minutes laying down with a hotpack….and AMAZINGLY …I avoided a full-blown migraine. Dr. Whitmire taught me a certain point to press and how to rotate my head…..and so far, I’ve stopped the progression of ‘aura to migraine’ 3 more times. Love this place!!! If you suffer from migraines I highly recommend that you try it out.

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.

This is the best experience I have had with a chiropractor. The doctor explained everything he was doing very thoroughly and professionally and helped me to understand why I was experiencing certain aches and pains and how I could alleviate those using massage and stretching techniques on my own. I felt comfortable and safe in this clean and friendly environment and will definitely be back for weekly follow up! I already feel so much better after my first appointment today. Highly recommend Dr. Whitmire and is team at the clinic!
