Dr. Owen at Healthy Back Chiropractic in Salem, OR runs a clinic that encompasses multiple aspects of health and wellness. Beginning with traditional chiropractic methods, this clinic offers comprehensive care to patients.
Dr. Owen’s approach is to chiropractic care uses “a combination of manual and mechanical correctional methods” as well as massage therapy, nutrition counseling, and a variety of other methods to help with pain. Patients will seek the care of a chiropractor for recent injuries, long term pain management, preventative care, and for pain that nothing else seems to cure.
“A chiropractor is a trained health-care professional who focuses on aligning the back and the spine so the entire body can function as it’s meant to,” says Dr. Owen. When a patient is out of alignment in the spine or any joint, several problems can arise. The doctor will do a thorough examination, will assess the patient’s history, lifestyle, daily routine, nutrition, and gait, and will determine the best plan for treatment and therapy. He understands that each patient is different, their pain is different, their bodies are different, and will not assign a one-size-fits-all treatment to any of his patients.
Chiropractic care also benefits overall health. Because the nervous system runs through the spinal column, Dr. Owen says it’s important to keep the back in alignment. Keeping the spine healthy ensures that the body stays functional and the muscles can remain strong.
Healthy Back Chiropractic is accepting new patients. “Dr. Owen prides himself on offering his patients a health ministry… [and they] believe that health is not the absence of disease but the accomplishment of total wellness.”
