What to Expect

You will immediately feel at home the moment you walk in the door.

If you’ve ever gone to a social event where you didn’t know anyone, you know how uncomfortable that can make you feel.  Our goal is to eliminate every shred of apprehension and make you feel at home.

Since chiropractic care involves a series of visits, with each one building on the ones before, it’s important that our relationship can go the distance. We’ve found that one of the best ways to have successful patient relationships is to explain everything in advance. No surprises!

The more you understand who we are, what we do and why we do it, the better results you’ll enjoy. It’s as simple as that.

So, check us out here. Poke around. Get to know us. Then, contact us to make an appointment so we can get to know you.

First Visit

As a new patient on your first visit we will ask to complete a brief patient history.  Then you will have a one  on one consultation with the doctor.  Examinations may include x-ray exam, range of motion and a Spinal Nerve Scanner exam..

Second Visit

We refer to your second visit in our office as your personalized "Report of Findings".  We set some extra time aside so the doctor can discuss your clinical finds and offer specific treatment recommendations.  This is also when most patients receive their first treatment if you are a candidate for chiropractic care.

Regular Visit

Follow-up visits to our office will focus on continued treatment for your condition.  We respect your time and do all we can to stay on schedule to minimize waiting time.  You should plan between 15 and 30 minutes a visit depending on whether you receive additional therapies.

 Dr. Dan Asks some important questions of interest to Salem residents - Chiropractor Salem Dr. Dan Asks...

Do nerves actually get pinched?
Chiropractors recognize two types of nerve disorders involved in subluxation. The least common is a pinched nerve that diminishes nerve supply to an affected organ or tissue. More common is the irritated nerve (facilitative lesion) which overexcites nerve communications to an affected organ or tissue. Chiropractic care has been shown to help with both types.
How does headache medication find the headache?
It can't! Chiropractors know that when you ingest a drug and it enters your bloodstream it numbs or deadens your entire body. Chiropractic adjustments, on the other hand, are specific, targeted and delivered with precision.
